Just sharing our greenhouse made with ~90% recycled materials. 10ftx15ft. My fiancée designed the inside and out. It took 2 days tearing down the structure that the wood came from and 4 days to solo build. It's a lean-to attached to my backyard shed which helped building. I constructed the wall frames on the ground and attached them to new, treated 4x4s on 610 gravel. The poly and louveres were from a greenhouse that never got rebuild after katrina and had been sitting in a shipping container which I exhanged some tradework for them. The sink came from a kitchen remodel that the client didnt want to keep their old one. Next step is fill the floor with pea gravel and builbuild bbottom storage shelves then tie in plumbing/electrical! All in all so far only out of pocket $200 usd.

Also if anyone has heating suggestions for something this size, I’m getting ready to hit the cold season. Realistically keeping it above 47F should be okay for most everything she has in there. I was thinking a stand up propane tank until we get electric run. I used my crawfish burner in the old one but it was much smaller than this so I think it will eat thru a regular tank.
Give me….please!
Looks good, nice job!
I see empty shelves! Get busy! 😂
Zone 8B here. I use an electric heater and also propane heater for my 8×12 gh. I use the propane to make up for the deficiency of the electric when temperatures dip into the twenties. Both are controlled by separate thermostats. Get a good thermometer that you can read from your house (I’m cheap, I use a long range bbq thermometer) and set alarms so you can avert damage should your heat system fail and you can amend with backup heater. Make sure you can circulate the warm air in your gh with a good fa, and I’d also suggest automatic vents so you don’t fry your plants-which can surprisingly happen in the winter.
I really like it but am wondering about the roof bits that don’t seem to reach
