Recycled Green House Pics
 Last spring 2010, the hubby and I built a 12 x 18 Greenhouse from saved/used patio doors and windows. Had them for close to 15 years or so.. The frame was built with saw milled white pine (from our property) we already had. The roof is Polycarbonate/Greenhouse Panels. All the screened windows slide open for ventillation, and the west end has a storm door w/window that slides open..So far it is unheated..It costs just a little around 500 dollars.. I waited over 20 years for a GH, and my dream finally came true, well worth the wait! Thanks for looking..I just wanted to share.. Last edited by barefootgardener; January 22, 2011 at 11:31 AM. |

Wow! That looks fantastic! I would love to have such a beautiful greenhouse. I have the room, but hubby and I have absolutely NO building skills. Congratulations!

 I dont know the # of total containers...I do know I had over 50 full size tomato plants alone. Most in the ground in beds and some in pots. I had herbs in ground and in pots , vines, armenian cukes/roses climbing up a trellis..Blackeye Peas in pots..Melons..Strawberries in baskets and pots..Blueberries in pots..Like I said..it was a jungle by the end of the season...
