How to Build A Greenhouse?
I would like to build a Wooden Greenhouse this autumn/winter. We have space for a lean-to against the fence (about 6' x 4'). I will use for over wintering tender plants and sowing seeds in the spring. We have electricity in the garden so can heat it. Are there any websites out there with downloadable plans? Whats the best wood to use? How do we put grooves in wood for glass? Is glass better than plastic? Any feedback, experiences, suggestions - welcomed!
I dont want to buy a plastic framed greenhouse - I want to build a wooden one
I built one two years ago using glass and polycarbonate for the top.I didn't have a level spot in my yard so the whole thing was mounted on skids and can be moved.
Things that should be considered:1. smaller greenhouse's are harder to climatize,they heat up and cool down faster.2. location is paramount you will find that the winter and summer months vary as far as the sun's direction is concerned.3.materials that are commonly used is redwood,for those on a budget this is not always feasiable.If you have a bare floor you would be better of using it though rather then pressure treated.Otherwise use pressure treated it can be used because of the avialibilty and standard wood size.Try to find a salvage supplier for you glass this can save you hundreds of dollars.Just know before hand the deminsions you need.4.framing is important for the sides that the glass will be installed but simple to do.You dont have to cut grooves for it just split a 2 x 4 allowing for the glass thickness screw one piece on the wall stud inside, apply silicone place the glass then do the outside the same way.The most difficult part is keeping you frame squared and braced, over do it with gussets on the four corners.If your building a lean to,the roof should be easy.If not use joist hangers on 2 x 4's using perlons and foam stripping again using gussets for the peaks.I just went to some sites and looked to see how they were constructed,made a few modifacations and have a heated, vented and timed watering system for about 800 bucks. Hope this helps...
