Good video. No BS, no clowning, no stupid jokes, no annoying music, just good information. Good to know there are still some adults on RUclips. (off topic, sorry 😊)
Great job, something to think about, install two layers of poly and use a bathroom fan to inflat between the two sheets. This will prevent the wind flapping and chewing up the plastic. Mine was still in great shape after four years when we sold the farm.
Thank you Nick and crew for the video! I don't have a lot of space still I'll use your idea to build one, what I do when I find a video that I don't like is stop watching, yours I watched to the end. Thanks again!
first off ot did answer a few questions i had about a diy greenhouse. but the reason im commenting is the vid itself. thank you for stabilizing the image and letting the bourder so the camera movements. made it much easier to watch. personally hate shaky cam vids. this was an excellent fix.
Thank you for the video. A great way to start a greenhouse. For those who feel the video could have been more stable or flipped to accommodate the view, the message was how to build a greenhouse, not the best way to video building a greenhouse. Great job, I have done some similar but learned some great tips on how to improve what I have done and will do in the future. Thanks again.
A++++? What is this a marijuana rating scale? Everything these days is AAAA+ or AAA+. No more B, C, D, E, and F. Now it's just A++++, A+++, A++, and A+; even a normal A is hard to come by.
My experience with PVC-supported plastic structure is you must absolutely remove the sheeting before first snow in winter, or the weight of the snow has no problem snapping off the PVC. But it is a decent setup for the money and pretty easy to build.
So, I actually built my greenhouse (60'x12') by this design. I think it is almost a good design and worked pretty well for the first month. One of the problems I came up against was in the pvc joints being weak points in the structure. Wind the other day was between 20-30 mph and that busted three joints, and that's not even very windy for this area(Helena, MT). However, I plan to replace any broken joints with single poles of pvc 20' long and run them through the cross joints. Not a bad design and fairly cheap, just needs some work.
I built one of these several years ago. The UV from the sun degraded the pvc it and made it brittle. The first spring storm that blew through destroyed it breaking most of the pipes. My wife still chuckles about it.
I made one of these a few years back and I love it. I covered mine with screen to keep the bugs out but allow the wind to blow through. I didn't glue mine down for easy disassemble in case of one of those pesty hurricanes comes through the area. Nice job and video.
That's very well done, and an excellent video presentation. I have read that PE sheeting will react with PVC and fall apart, but if you skin the PVC/PE contact area with fabric tape it is not a problem (there is a special tape sold for this).
Thank you my friend, my light just came on, I'm going to build us a 5x8 .we've wanted and needed one for a long time but they cost too much, but with your idea, I'll do it for around $100.00 sweet thanks again. Grow my own.
A nice transparent greenhouse is pretty, but what most people don't understand is that you can keep it warmer in winter by covering the non-sun sides with aluminized poly or reflective insulation blankets. You can't get sun heat in from the north and most of the east and west sides anyway in winter. Just the south side and half of the top on the south side will contribute solar heat. The reflective insulation will greatly increase your warming inside, and prevent loss at night.Similarly covering the sun side also just at night is even better, with a roll-up aluminized insulative blanket or tarp.
I dig the idear...for clarity, are you perhaps referring to one of those metallic fold-up "blankets" that emergency-minded people keep in their cars? They come packaged all folded neatly in a probably 4"x6" packet? If not, could you give me a description that my rookie self would be able to take to one of the Home stores and find? Many thanks in advance.
They have numerous aluminized material, rigid as well as sheet-like. If you were desperate you could use aluminum foil and white glue. But most of the insulation sheets they sell also come aluminized.
good job for a very practical and beautiful green house, I will copy that when I get back to the Philippines.. thanks for this video.. God bless and have an abundant harvesting
If you drill tiny pinholes in the underside of the arches you could connect a hose to the main center piece of PVC & you could then water all the plants inside whenever needed.
You shouldn’t water veggie plants from above.. causes disease form water on their leaves especially in a green house where it’s more humid and gets no wind..
@@julisagonzalez657 That's good to know, thanks, I didn't realize that. Then instead of pinholes like a sprinkler system you could still use the frame to deliver the water but tap into it with small drip tubes from the frame down to each of the plants base.
@@ronmiller7248 I was not saying anything about water freezing, water would freeze if it gets cold enough.... I was just pointing out a simple way to pipe water throughout the greenhouse. You wouldn't need to put water tubes inside the frame, the frame would become the tubes.The entire frame is all connected (& hollow) so by attaching a water supply to one point of the frame, then the frame itself can be the water tubes & carry the water to any point you need.
Decent and good idea. Nothing like saving money and building your own, gives you a sense of accomplishment when it's done. I've always been a DIY for projects, I couldn't imagine not being that.
I love this. We have a wooden greenhouse on a platform because of flooding, but I have been asking my husband for a hoop house over our existing garden, about the same size as yours. We have it sectioned off with Post Poles and seven foot fencing. This structure would fit right over the top of the existing garden without having to remove anything. Thanks for this.
6 mil can last at least 5 years. No need to waste your money on the rhino hide for a temporary greenhouse. Most people that leave comments like that are associated with the product that they are recommending....
fantastic vid...well done...ive just made a shade house using old trampolines but the pipes dont fit into each other..i used pvc as joiners ...but will go back now and use pvc as you did for all pipes ...thanks for the great info..peace out from Australia
Great video! can't wait to show hubby this, he has wanted to put up a greenhouse. Before this video watched one on a purchased one for over $1k for 10x10 that is falling apart after 1 year! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! Not by choice but by the needs of the USAF, we have had 2 yrs of growing experience here in (the worst place to live in North America) Utah! Your green house would cover my entire garden. Thank you for the vid.
thank you all viewers for bringing this to 20,000 views in just over 4 months! There are other How-Tos at www.HGVids.com or tell me what you'd like to see a demo of...
Nick Tamble Have you considered instead of popping the pvc over droppers, to rather close it off at the bottom with additional pipe and t-pieces to create one seamless structure. Then drill small holes in strategic places and use the frame as an irrigation system?
I like thos one better then any I've seen so far. I would love a mattersl list... half inch pvc? Poly here comes in 20x100. Is 20 feet wide enough?? Love your end wall. Best I've seen... I'm in AK this is exactly what I need to extend the browning season...
I used to work in the market garden industry, and when we put these type of tunnel up we used to burry the plastic sheeting around the edge it helped give more stability in high wind, at least lesson the chance of the wind taking it anyway.
Excellent work and great ideas ! Simple, efficient and why not very professional. I was searching a simple and efficient way to construct a greenhouse. Thanks a lot !!!
Nice job, you make it look so easy, lol, I do everything by myself, so I have a hard time, but this is a nice tunnel house, wish I had the open sky you have. I'm in the mountains, and have too many pine trees, so low sun hours and cold nights in summer. Wish I had your greenhouse! Stay Free People!
Pro tip, film videos in landscape [horizontally], not in portrait [vertically]. All TV's and computers are designed to view videos in that format, thanks
The lady at the end looks like she just wants you out so she can start, she might move in, hahaha. Very nice, if I where more into green house building I would build one like that.
PVC piping off gases and will cause the poly sheeting to deteriorate prematurely. The piping can have a layer of tape or even better, the fuzzy part of velcro adhered to it to prevent this from happening.
Cap tape for truck caps maybe an easy cheap go to for that idea, I’ll try it. Thanks for the information I’ll tell the local farmers I see that as some of their poly hose problems
Looks to be a very economical and practical design, and neat too. The questions I have about these tube houses are: Why is the no longitudinal struts or bracing? What stops the end walls from falling over, if blown by the wind? What stops the house from lifting, if a split in the plastic lets the wind get in? (I would not be confident that the U-straps screwed to the longitudinal timbers, at the bottom of the posts, would be sufficient to resist a good strong and uplifting wind).
I know you did this years ago. Looks good. I have a few questions. What size pvc pipe did you use and did you have to put further bracing in to handle the snow and wind?
dont record video in vertical camer mode, its hard to watch and the field of view is way smaller.always shoot video in wide angle horizontal. vertical is only for photos. thanks for the info in this video.
Yes, good advise! it is always annoying trying to watch a video like that. Causes many viewers to just leave also so lose the hit on the video. I am a person Who normally would just leave soon as I see that dumb camera mode! Only reason I did watch this video is because I plan to build a similar greenhouse very soon and never hurts to look for tips and tricks to do a better job. Good video other than camera mode, though nothing new to me I did not already know. I would also guess reason for so many thumbs down was for the camera mode as I thought the video was pretty good otherwise.
Yes, great video and thank you so much for doing it. I agree that it would have been much easier to watch if you had held the camera the right way though! Many people will be put off because of this and not bother watching it which is a shame after all your hard work.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
My wife built one and the poly lasted 6 months. She decided to replace the poly with the 10 year fiberglass panels. They were around $20 a piece and have lasted at least 15 years.
I made the same thing 5 years ago. will last for many years but the plastic on the pvc deteriorates within two seasons, usually one, but will survive with ducktape through to the second one. PVC has amonia leaching into the plastic.
why thanks! This greenhouse sustained some wind damage 2 months in and we decided to take it down due to it being after last-frost and the covered protection was no longer needed. I highly recommend a protected site with wind coverage - but one that affords adequate sunlight too. Inspect it each time you go out to it - to look for tears or otherwise blemishes to the poly.
hoo, that is something to consider... i want my green house to last so i should get steel pipes instead of plastic. and a thick poly 6-8 mils. I would like to build a 15' x 15' but i think i will need help to bend the pipes, any recommendation? ty
Sadly in most parts of tbe usa where this greenhouse should be put up, it would only last till the town zoning gestapho make you tear it down. So always vote for townspeople that like gardening and will not zone it to illegal.
love this hoop house !!!does there happen to be a set of plans or a cutting list anywhere on the web or did you just make it up as you went along.I am needing a 12 x 20 to fit my yard.
It's very nice looking you guys did a good job only one thing I personally would've done different no make that two first I would've made the ceiling at least 9 /10 feet tall using larger pipe at the base and then we going to the smaller for the top The other thing I would have done was put some duct tape on each pipe where the PVC touches the Polypropylene still very nice looking job
So VERY impressive!! I just happened upon this video and I am so very glad I did, what a great project. Do you have any follow up on this, like how its holding up? Any problems encountered?
+My Old Kentucky Homestead "WE" will just build another or repair the damaged greenhouse. i like how he says WE and all he does is walk around with a camera (held 90 degrees off) and Frank does all the work.
I built a pvc shade house a few years back. The only real difference between how I built mine and yours is I ran some pvc diagonally from the ground ends up to the middle top to add stability from the wind. It will reduce a lot of the wind flex and can be screwed in place. I didn't catch what size pvc you used but I used one inch for mine and it still bowed with time.
I really liked the 2 x8 boards at the foot with the clamps. I was going to build a very similar structure only with end caps at the bottom sides. I had also planned on using strips of plywood attached to the outside of the PVC with bailing wire as I was told PVC and poly didn't work well together. Did yours work out well in that regard and did you use schedule 10 or 40 pvc. The reason I wanted end caps was for so I could attach a hose, timer and misting heads for times when I need water. Great video Nick. Thank you.
Schedule 40. - more rigid the better. I've been seeing comments about PVC and poly not jiving together. We took down poly so I don't have info on how the combination is impacted over time
I WENT TO FARM BUREAU IN CONNECTICUT TO GET A LOAN TO MAKE A GREEN HOUSE THEY WONT GIVE ME BUT WHEN I BUILT MY OWN THE SAME WAY FOR 50 DOLLARS THEY STARTED BOTHERING ME.I JUST USED 2 10 FEET PVC PIPE ONE INCH THICK AND CONNECTED WITH 1 FEET 2 INCHES PVC PIPE AND PUT A CENTRAL WOOD SUPPORT. COVERED WITH SWIMMING POOL COVER .ALSO YOU CAN DISMANTLE IT WHEN YOU MOVE .
8 inch pipe with U joints that lock into place for the base. Having a strong base is always a good start! You could run another 8 inch pipe down the center to support the roof. You could pre fab watering tubes in it to mist the green house. Have fun good luck!
This is really nice but you only mentioned the 5 foot sections of pvc but not the size of the pvc pieces that you attach them to Do you have specs? Thank you
Great work guys! Definitely inspiring me to make one! How does it hold up to a snow load? Did you get much sagging in the poly over the years? How long did the poly last before needing replacement?
Good video. No BS, no clowning, no stupid jokes, no annoying music, just good information. Good to know there are still some adults on RUclips.

I'm freaking jealous. $300 and only 14 hrs labor total. Food security for a very large family. Thanks for some excellent ideas for construction.

Did you do anything to remedy the brittle pvc? Im just brainstorming for my own greenhouse
U must of bought that cheap thin cw pvc...bc hw pvc aint gonna get brittle or brake in the sun for years and years
@@driveronehundrednine3225You could try using gorilla tape or paint the pvc to keep it from degrading.
I made one of these a few years back and I love it. I covered mine with screen to keep the bugs out but allow the wind to blow through. I didn't glue mine down for easy disassemble in case of one of those pesty hurricanes comes through the area. Nice job and video.
The planning worked out well. You have a fully equipped and skilled carpenter helping you. Good show.
That's very well done, and an excellent video presentation. I have read that PE sheeting will react with PVC and fall apart, but if you skin the PVC/PE contact area with fabric tape it is not a problem (there is a special tape sold for this).
Using primer on the pvc before you lay the PE will also stop this reaction.

Instead of 6-8 mil poly that lasts barely a season, buy 'Rhino Hide' reinforced poly that's good for many years. Costs more upfront but WELL worth it!
Everyone knows how much can pay .. people r not idiots .. all know there is a better things to buy with a little more money of course
Thanks I have never heard of Rhino hide and will probably use that when we get to making our greenhouse.

hoo, that is something to consider...
i want my green house to last so i should get steel pipes instead of plastic. and a thick poly 6-8 mils. I would like to build a 15' x 15' but i think i will need help to bend the pipes, any recommendation? ty
+Nick Tamble Too bad the wind damaged it. How would you improve the design to prevent that? Sometime you've got to work with the site at hand.
Sadly in most parts of tbe usa where this greenhouse should be put up, it would only last till the town zoning gestapho make you tear it down. So always vote for townspeople that like gardening and will not zone it to illegal.
***** What is simple - county made me tear mine down, until after I met many criteria - hence me saying vote them out of office.
Very nice video...Inspiration for us all...
love this hoop house !!!does there happen to be a set of plans or a cutting list anywhere on the web or did you just make it up as you went along.I am needing a 12 x 20 to fit my yard.
Nice. Inspiring me and my hubby to do a small scale one in our garden. :)
Great To See the Application of Thinking and Common Sense - GREAT JOB!!!
Buen trabajo , me guardo el video para contruirlo igual. Felicidades
decent video , but - mate -. please use a better camera .
cannot turn back time,- but yea... it was me and the father-in-law on a weekend - next time :)
It's very nice looking you guys did a good job only one thing I personally would've done different no make that two first I would've made the ceiling at least 9 /10 feet tall using larger pipe at the base and then we going to the smaller for the top The other thing I would have done was put some duct tape on each pipe where the PVC touches the Polypropylene still very nice looking job
So VERY impressive!! I just happened upon this video and I am so very glad I did, what a great project. Do you have any follow up on this, like how its holding up? Any problems encountered?
+My Old Kentucky Homestead Oops...I just read the other comments and learned of the wind damage, so sorry to hear that.

"WE" will just build another or repair the damaged greenhouse.
i like how he says WE and all he does is walk around with a camera (held 90 degrees off) and Frank does all the work.
I built a pvc shade house a few years back. The only real difference between how I built mine and yours is I ran some pvc diagonally from the ground ends up to the middle top to add stability from the wind. It will reduce a lot of the wind flex and can be screwed in place. I didn't catch what size pvc you used but I used one inch for mine and it still bowed with time.
I really liked the 2 x8 boards at the foot with the clamps. I was going to build a very similar structure only with end caps at the bottom sides. I had also planned on using strips of plywood attached to the outside of the PVC with bailing wire as I was told PVC and poly didn't work well together. Did yours work out well in that regard and did you use schedule 10 or 40 pvc. The reason I wanted end caps was for so I could attach a hose, timer and misting heads for times when I need water. Great video Nick. Thank you.
Schedule 40. - more rigid the better. I've been seeing comments about PVC and poly not jiving together. We took down poly so I don't have info on how the combination is impacted over time
GREAT VIDEO just wish they had turned the phone camera sideways to see more, but thanks for the info, I learned a lot!
1" PVC OD. Thanks for watching...

أحسنت النشر وابدعت في العمل ❤️❤️❤️👍✋
I WENT TO FARM BUREAU IN CONNECTICUT TO GET A LOAN TO MAKE A GREEN HOUSE THEY WONT GIVE ME BUT WHEN I BUILT MY OWN THE SAME WAY FOR 50 DOLLARS THEY STARTED BOTHERING ME.I JUST USED 2 10 FEET PVC PIPE ONE INCH THICK AND CONNECTED WITH 1 FEET 2 INCHES PVC PIPE AND PUT A CENTRAL WOOD SUPPORT. COVERED WITH SWIMMING POOL COVER .ALSO YOU CAN DISMANTLE IT WHEN YOU MOVE .
rogersantiques rs wondering how one types with all caps on.
Captively
8 inch pipe with U joints that lock into place for the base. Having a strong base is always a good start! You could run another 8 inch pipe down the center to support the roof. You could pre fab watering tubes in it to mist the green house. Have fun good luck!
This is really nice but you only mentioned the 5 foot sections of pvc but not the size of the pvc pieces that you attach them to Do you have specs?
Thank you
Beautiful barn in the background
Great work guys! Definitely inspiring me to make one! How does it hold up to a snow load? Did you get much sagging in the poly over the years? How long did the poly last before needing replacement?
Greenhouse 10 points. Cameraman 4 points :)
