No doubt, around here, I would give those bottles about 1 summer before they started cracking. Of course I live in a Desert, that may have something to do with it.
But on the other hand here is a link to what people are doing with PET bottles around the world. http://www.temasactuales.com/temasbl...h-pet-bottles/ |

Michael Reynolds has been building houses out of recyclables -- tires, bottles, cans -- with adobe for decades. He's the subject of a recent documentary, Garbage Warrior.

I've seen greenhouses made from restaurant-sized glass pickle jars in the Czech Republic. The lids are kept on, so the walls are well insulated.

Interesting, but cement doesn't really bond well to plastic pop jugs. In many of our US areas, this type of budget construction wouldn't last long. I would choose using recycled glass doors and windows for a greenhouse, since they are available for free or cheap.
