I wanted to share the modified Harbor Freight greenhouse I built over the summer for my cacti and succulent collection. I’m a newbie to woodworking, but I had a lot of fun designing the tables with SketchUp and making some upgrades to the greenhouse. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
1. Built a knee-high wall
2. Painted the aluminum frame black
3. Removed the sliding door and installed a new door with a custom frame
4. Built custom tables and shelves for storage
This was such a fun project, and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips for future upgrades!

It looks great! I saw the awesome tables/shelves and immediately started calculating how much my new Harbor Freight greenhouse was going to cost and then I saw that the best part of your greenhouse didn’t come from Harbor Freight…

I put mine on a 2 foot base as well. Makes a big difference in headroom.
