Deck Greenhouse

[dokutaaguriin]

Last year I had the great idea to make better use of my sunny south facing deck. I wold try and grow my peppers, eggplants and tomatoes in planters. I would stick 3 or 4 bamboo poles around the edge of the pot and wrap greenhouse plastic around it to protect the plants from the cold winds, hail etc. It wasn't pretty but it was functional. After finishing my basement, I figured my newly found framing skills would transfer to building my own greenhouse. This greenhouse is now reserved for peppers and eggplants. My other two greenhouses are filled with tomatoes.
The greenhouse started off as a 4' x 6' but my wife let me extend it to 4' x 8'. I used cedar for all the wood and the base, and twin wall polycarbonate.
