How to Build a Greenhouse | Post and Beam

- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2022
- Make your own Post & Beam Greenhouse with twin wall polycarbonate glazing and a poured concrete foundation. This timber frame style Western Red Cedar post & beam greenhouse has a base that's 10 feet by 12 feet. I cover all the carpentry and construction of this garden greenhouse starting with excavation, making the concrete forms and pouring the foundation. Then I move on to cutting, notching, and preparing the posts, beams, ties, and rafters. Followed by the assembly of the post and beam frame. Then I cut and install the twin wall polycarbonate glazing and install it on the walls and roof. There's also some custom cedar louvered vents and a fan for air circulation. Then I build and install a light-weight cedar door and finish the construction with a two part ridge cap for the roof. There will be a four part detailed follow up video series after this. I have a 14 page greenhouse plan that's available at the link below.

I also have a 4 Part Detailed Build Series that goes into more detail of the construction of this Post and Beam Greenhouse. Starting with this video: ruclips.net/video/BTanr0m48_Y/видео.html Thanks!
That's a very well made greenhouse it's built incredibly strong and it will last a long time, and it's a beautiful building you could easily turn it into a lounging / entertainment space with a huge BBQ and flat screen and stereo it could be turned into anything it's that nice good job injoy and God bless you 👍✌️
Can you give us an idea of the rough costs of the wood involved?
Looks like someone is impersonating you in your comments section and trying to scam your viewers with fake prizes. I hope you see this and can take action.
This is absolutely beautiful
What program for planning and design do you use?
This is the clearest, best explained build project I've seen so far. The animation at the start is especially good.
Wow, thanks! Very much appreciate your kind words and support!
I completely agree. There is no mystery at all for me. It is so very appreciated.
Agree
Clear communication, nothing left out, great video speeds, simply presented, inspirational.
@@MANaboutTOOLS Now if you can engineer a more portable one for people who rent and don’t own property (most of us), that’d be legit.
Nicely done still. Good job 👍
As a contractor with over 40+ years of building experience myself, I must say, I am impressed with your build of this greenhouse. You've done an excellent job, and for a small greenhouse, it is not only very well built, it's beautiful as well. Your use of lap joints, dado's, handmade louvered vents, and all the other building methods used, including the use of stops and such, even the hand made forms for pouring the concrete foundation, would make anyone believe you were an experienced master builder. In this build, I see better building methods being utilized than in most of the homes today that people actually live in. End result is a gorgeous, functional greenhouse that will last for many years. Great job!
Thank you thank you thank you. That made my day!
@@MANaboutTOOLSI’m gonna chime in as well. If my house was built this well, I’d be happy as a pig after dinner. Well done. I am going to try to scale this up and cross my fingers that I can be half as accurate in construction. You have set the bar very high
Exactly! He said he was no Timber Framer, I'd beg to differ.
Using beams was such a great start! Why making the greenhouse so banal in the end with plastic siding and redundant 2 x 4s? You are using two opposed building approaches. Okay, it’s relatively cheap and quick to put together. Then why not go 100% cheap and convenient? Because going halfway gutsy doesn’t cut it: it’s fake. And on a softer note, ‘roof fasteners’ (fasteners integrating an EPDM washer) dry out in no time and leak. That becomes a maintenance issue and, etc, etc…
I have to agree with the commenters-best construction video I’ve ever seen. Quite remarkable craftsmanship, indeed.
I really appreciated the orderly way you explained. Quick schematic overview, then the steps. A beautiful greenhouse!
This greenhouse is better built than most homes! It was lovely seeing your craftsmanship - thank you for the video.
I am watching this video again, and am still very appreciative. The "one-man" build and the scale of this project are perfect for a host of week-end warriors like myself.
Kent, sometimes I think you get carried away on your projects, but I admire your attention to detail and the results it produces. Unfortunately, I watched this video while my wife sat behind me when suddenly I heard her say, "Yeah! Like that!"
I do get carried away for sure. Thank you! Cheers! ;o)
Best use of Sketchup I've seen to date.
Dude, your very good at explaining calmly and eloquently
Thanks!
Подобная теплица - мечта любого садовода. Вы ее реализовали с большим мастерством!
That was beautifully done, I could see myself trying to tackle this project when I’m ready to build a greenhouse. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful! Your wife is a lucky woman!
by far the BEST video on a greenhouse build! I will save this and copy this for this upcoming SPRING!
Wow, thanks!
Don't think I ever seen a more professional build from start to finish, every step impeccable prepared and executed. Very nice!
Thank you very much! You made my day!
Easily among the most aesthetically appealing greenhouses I've seen on RUclips. I want this greenhouse! Really beautiful design.
I've never seen such a concise, well explained, and well animated video like this on YT. It's perfect. Thank you. I'm going to the lumber store today to build this.
I have but one question. Why did he make the door in-swinging? Shouldn't he have tried to make as much functional space as possible? This is a greenhouse after all.
You’re brilliant, skillful, and a communicator, a teacher. Thank you for your channel
Thank you very much!!
Спасибо за Вашу работу! Вы Мастер с большой буквы! Как говорится, "Золотые Руки"!!!
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful build. Thanks for sharing all the details. I feel inspired!
Absolutely beautiful design and craftsmanship.
Man!!!! you should be a teacher. Such a beautiful project with explanation of each step.
Wow, thanks!
Bought the plans. Pray for me.
Have you started this project? How's it going?
Man. This is the best build video I have ever watched. More like this please!
All of my projects are done 100% alone, I never have an extra set of hands to help. I learned so much watching your videos!! Great tricks for working solo!! AMAZING WORK!
You’re easily my favorite builder! I love the detail in your workmanship with the post and beam building technique that is rarely utilized anymore and I love the detail you always provide us learners. This structure is gorgeous, strong and it’ll last decades if not a century or more. Question, I like the concrete surround with gravel interior, especially for the purpose of a green house. I live in sw KS, where it’s pretty much a cold desert in the winter. We do get below freezing but it’s only occasional, you mentioned your mild winters but I’m unsure if I could pull off the same base? For reference the last month it’s been cool to cold, usually it stays warm to hot till mid/late fall. Anyways it seems like a long lasting base, great work as always and so grateful you posted another build
What an amazing video, narration was clear and the explanations and thought process was concise and professionally done. Great work!
That is the most aesthetically pleasing greenhouse I've ever seen. I have no plans to build one, but I'm glad to have seen this nonetheless.
Chapeau Monsieur, perfection dans le travail. Ce n’est plus du bricolage.....
Fantastic build video! Not only are your projects interesting and something I wish I could do myself, you have a real talent for build narration. Thank you for sharing.
This is the best video of a greenhouse build that I have seen, and the project is a durable work of art. Thanks for the effort, well done.
So nice to watch someone who knows what they're doing
The attention to detail and the pure planning here is amazing. You set the bar for my build.
Stunning! And it matches the post & beam deck you two built a while back - NICE. Great job as always with voice over, filming, & editing. I'd love to see a tour of your property & all of the projects you've done there. Thanks for the build video!👍
Wow, thank you!
Your attention to detail is awesome. I also love seeing how you come up with tricks to be able to complete tasks working by yourself, very helpful.
Thank you very much!
Wow I love it, that is some fine workmanship
Top notch workmanship from start to finish.
What a beautiful result!! You are a craftsman I can see. Very inspiring as well. I hope you'll grow many things in the greenhouse and when you'll do so you can be proud of this achievement :-)
Green house looks great. Your video editing skills are crazy good too!
Thanks!! It's been weeks and weeks of editing...
You are more than a builder, you're an artist. This is spectacular
Excellent! I'll be watching you from now on. Nobody else is a clear and concise are you!
So I guess the final two questions are:
a) how long has it needed from start to finish?
b) how many has it cost?
BTW, amazing build!
One of the best videos on a detailed building of a great green house.
Very good comments on the details during the video.
Thank you.
We want to build a 20 by 40 on our Idaho ranch next year.
Very nicely executed. The intro shot that fades into your animation was awesome.
Is there anything you can’t do?
Unreal build. I can see you've thought of all possibilities to make this as good as it can be.
The animation is fantastic and very clear to understand. Really impressed with your design and thought process with your projects in general. Can I just ask what programme you're using to sketch all your projects up?
Wow, thanks! I use Sketchup Pro
Can't wait to see the produce this fine green house will help grow. Well done, start to finish. Cheers.
That's a project to be proud of!
When you don't use rafter ties (cathedral ceilings like this) the ridge board acts as a load bearing member and is referred to as a ridge beam instead of ridge board. The reason that is important: a ridge board is just a nailing surface that lets you attach the rafters, but the beam itself doesn't experience load. If you don't use rafter ties, then you need to factor in that the ridge beam is supporting about 1/3rd of the weight of the roof (and snow load). It supports this at both ends. So, you need to size the beam and end posts to accommodate that weight. The way you've designed this, the ridge beam has no end support and the connection in the middle is not adequate for load bearing. I'm sure this will be fine because of the short distances involved, but it's not the right way to do it.
Thank you for your comment. The ridge beam is supported by the framing at the gable ends. And there is a rafter tie in the middle of the structure.
Your video shows that each end of the ridge beam has a vent under it, not a support post. Are you saying that 2x4 frame you made is providing structural support? Also, section R802.5.1 of the building code covers ceiling joists (which is the same thing as a rafter tie), and has a span table with spacing. All of that assumes you use a rafter tie at every rafter, not just one for the whole structure. If you go back and add rafter ties (in the bottom third of the rafter) and collar ties (in the top third of the rafter) then the ridge will just act like a nailing surface and not like a structural beam. In that case, the connection you made in the middle would be fine, since it's not actually holding any of the weight. It's a small shed, so build it however you want. I was just pointing out that this is not correct from a building code point of view. 1/3rd of the weight of the roof will be supported by that beam, and it's only held together with some brackets in the middle and a couple of 2x4s on the sides. I hope you don't get a lot of snow.

This is so satisfying to any garden enthusiast!
Thanks for posting this! This is exactly the sort of greenhouse I've been wanting to build.
Thanks for the inspiration. I have a huge passion for gardening. When I’m outside working on the yard, it’s like my own personal church on Sunday. Your greenhouse turned out beautifully 😍. Because your video is so well done and the end result of the greenhouse is amazing, I have decided to copy you design and build a greenhouse of my own. Thank you again 🙏
Inspirational, thank you for taking time to document your build.
Really beautiful build! Especially for not being a timber frame guy. I appreciate the thorough attention to detail, and it showed in the final product.
Great job, and thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome workmanship, awesome video. Clear, concise explanation. Beautiful result
This was the best video I’ve seen breaking down each step of the building process. Thank you for sharing this awesome video and your expertise with us! ❤
Now that's a beauty of a green house. I could certainly live there if I had to. Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Precise, Professional, Perfect!
Great work. I think that green house is built so well it could withstand a hurricane.
Just dropped in and I’m glad that I did,you are practical,concise,and very engaging. The animation in the beginning was so insightful and really makes the process more interesting as you know what the outcome will be.
Very impressive build! This might be the greenhouse I've been looking to build for our needs. Thanks!
What a gorgeous greenhouse!
Thanks!
Great job. Not only the build but the video and the teaching as well. Congrats.
Wow! What a build. The animation was awesome and the craftsmanship was spot on.
1. I admire the detailed and descriptive way you do all the steps. And I will build it this winter just like you did. Robust greenhouses cost a lot
- and I don't earn enough for cheap hardware store goods. If you buy cheap, you buy twice. Great work, in all details.
2. Finally, a video in which the technical terms are explained in an understandable way. As a German, I had the pleasure of expanding my vocabulary. Thank you for this - subscription is done.
Wow!!! What a masterpiece!!!
Totally and utterly stunning!
The greenhouse is more a work of art! Good explanation with enough details to understand how to attempt to recreate. Fantastic work and excellent video.
That's some impressively solid work, building something that could last was no joke. I wouldn't be surprised if this greenhouse could survive a tornado.
I have been preparing to build a greenhouse for more than half a year. I would like to start work in the spring. I have watched 100+ videos on how to do it. I've seen 200+ photos and descriptions on the internet of how someone built it. But... this is the best video I have seen. Standing ovation. Thank you for this material.
Beautiful strip forms!
Thanks for sharing! It is always fun for me to learn more about gardening. It has been a year but I still consider myself as a novice. I developed an interest for gardening when I saw my neighbor's glass greenhouse. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLLLL! I got to know that they bought it from Mulberry Greenhouses and bought myself a polycarbonate greenhouse for sale.
Wow - that was awesome! So well explained and a beautiful greenhouse at the end! Thank you for the video!
This was excellent!!!! Clear explanation and great technique!
Well done, I am so happy for you all. I salute your craftsmanship.
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
Absolutely beautiful building!!
Absolutely stunning work.
Man this was one satisfying watch!
You’re in a league of your own man. Impressive build and video. Not to mention the cad design.
This is art, and man is it beautiful.
The animation alone was amazing, thanks for sharing this video it's great!
Gorgeous. ❤️ Thank you for sharing this amazing work. 🙏
That animation was amazing and it just got better from there on!!
Really amazing, very well designed and beautifully built. True craftsmanship!
Great job! Absolutely beautiful.
That looks wonderful. So beautiful and I love your craftsmanship.
It’s a very beautiful greenhouse
Wow, amazing job. Well done. That greenhouse isnt going anywhere.
Thanks!!
So perfect and beautiful! Great instructional video - well done!
Just the video I need! I had a cheap amazonium greenhouse that got ruined by light winds after 3 weeks. I'll rebuild this one
beautiful form and function!
Beautiful!
That is stunning!
Paráda krásná práce.Jen tak dál.
That's an exceptionally clean build sir, very nice
What a bloody work of art! Love your work, great video, cheers from Aus!
That’s soo nice! A build to be proud of!
Learned immensely from this video. Beautiful build
Premium everything, including video production! Lots of great work. Thanks.
That was an amazing project, well done!
