I finally got the greenhouse video done. When you put the cattle panels together just overlap by one square and that is all a person needs to withstand 48 mph winds atleast that is what it has been so far. Below is the youtube link. I took this video before my heat went out and all of the mater and peppers died one cold night. http://youtu.be/djEd2jHNHnQ |

Thanks for the comments. I think I need to rearrange the setup to add more stuff in it.

Thanks for the vid Stryker. My wife and I are planning to build a small greenhouse soon and we believe this is the way for us to go! Thanks again!

The nice thing about this greenhouse is that you can increase or decrease the size each growing season and the panels are great for things to climb on and tomato cages during the summer.

Nice! Where can you get the clear plastic? How thick is it?

kingtiger ; I got the plastic at lowes but I think that any hardware store would sell it. It is a clear 4 mil plastic and I put two layers of plastic on the greenhouse. I tried one layer last year and it only lasted a month before it started to tear. Last year I got three months out of the plastic before it was trash.

I wonder if it would be worth the extra money to order the greenhouse plastic? Or try to find someplace that has it 6 mil thick instead of the 4?

If you are planning to use it more than one time---order the greenhouse plastic. Regular 6 mil will not last long either. If you get good green house plastic and put it on where it has no snags/rough places to tear it---it will last several years. |
