Beautiful! I will definitely want a green house once I buy my own home. I’ll be living in Wyoming where the summers aren’t as long and a green house will help extend the growing season.
Spoiler alert these Montecello kits are very nice but pricey at $2400 to well into the $4000 range. I can build a custom solid wood structure for much much less. They are much nicer than the Palram kits by far but do some research before buying there are other options.
Curt Walter These kits are more for people who want ready to go pieces they don’t have to measure a million times and cut. Sure they are pricey but you are paying for the convenience of all the pieces being the right size and having exactly what you need all ready to go. Any kit is going to be more expensive than sourcing everything yourself.
You are right about the expense, and this video shows two people putting it together with lots of smiles & a calm voice, and will guarantee it took them 8 hours to assemble. I built an 8X10 greenhouse out of 2X4, much more secure, with very little cutting ( just order the required number of each 8' & 10' boards) in about the same time for about $1000. I was going to buy the kit too, but looks flimsy.
I wonder what would happen to the greenhouse after a Noreaster comes to town? How about snowloads? Don't believe it would last through a rough winter in NY. Looks nice though..
Building inspectors my ass, My property, me and the HOA go around and around all the time on my greenhouse in the back yard. Had to get dogs to keep them out my backyard😂😂😂
Find out what code authority book they use for code enforcement. For instance in Michigan they use Building Official Code Authority or BOCA. Under temporary structures you can build what is called a temporary non-conforming structure. You can build smaller structures such as tool sheds, storage etc without a permit. You have to adhere to side yard and back yard setbacks from your property lot lines.
I live in the tropics so it's summer all year round. I love plants and would love to have a greenhouse but I can't afford it. 😢 All I can do is watch videos like these and make myself feel worse. One day I'll be able to have one
accessory only if they find it out hell where i live you need a permit for a pool and most people with above pools dont' have one. An never knew until after we took ares down edit i build my own so i could use it for tropical plants and the fact that i live where we can get 100mpg winds during winter and fall i dont know if these kits could hold up with that
Mine's screwed to a cinder block foundation on a concrete slab, and it's been through 3 hurricanes so far. 120+ mph winds with gusts up to 150+ mph. It would likely survive sustained 150 to 175, but I'd probably rope down the top along with bungieing the windows shut and velcro-tying the doors shut if that were headed my way. It's not so much the wind as what's in it or what might fall on the structure that'd be the end of it. If a tree were to fall on it or a tornado were to throw something at it fast enough, it'd crumple like an aluminum can. But, yeah... as far as winds alone, it can take a beating from a hurricane so long as it's secured. It's well designed, strong, thick aluminum... and mine is secured with 2.5" screws every 2 ft or so into cinder block capstones atop 2 layers of cinder blocks all mortared with concrete to a concrete slab below. The kit comes with tie-downs -- like... 1 ft long coils meant to be dug into the earth so you can rope down the top of the structure in high winds. I haven't used them yet, but if an eye of a hurricane heads my way, I might use them just in case.
this is my dream, having my own farm land, animals running around, that famous red barn, that silo n of course plants everywhere... right now i need to endure my job inside a cubicle n living in a high rise apartment with loud neighbors...
It's a good life, but prepare to wake up every day at 4 AM and start taking care of everything. Also, no travelling, no vacations, and all your money goes to the animals, lol
@@ElinWinblad but thats not the case for all of the people in the city, I really have a big terrace where my cats play and my plants grow like seriously big. Some people like cities and other people like country, nothing wrong with any of them, I dont find any of them "sounding horrible".
The inspection is meant to make sure what you're building is safe. People get ripped off or waste time and money all the time trying to get around codes and inspections. It can be irritating but it's there to protect you not control you.
@Sizzling Grill Depends where you live. I don't need a permit for anything other than building a new permanent structure (which doesn't include greenhouses, sheds, etc..)
Nice but I don't think the structure is strong enough to handle real weather. Might work in Hawaii but not northern winters or southern hurricanes or other weather.
@@Grimm_Book I know that! No matter what the weather if it is extreme it will not hold up. It is not the design fault but mother nature does not play nice.
I have one - a 16ft model (same as the 12 ft model, but with a 4 ft extension kit). I built mine on a concrete slab base with a small cinder block foundation on top (2 cinder block high plus a capstone using concrete mortar) and used tapcon concrete screws to fix it to the capstones. It's already been through 3 hurricanes in the southeast - including 120+ mph winds with gusts up to 150 mph locally. There are plenty of owners in the north that have had deep snowfall on the roof just fine, and others who have video of 175 mph winds howling, but it not budging. I had an older greenhouse from a different company that was 12 x 10 x 10 (in height) that was flimsy - lost panels due to failing clips in high winds and whose structure caved because our home's chimney cap was torn off and hit the doors at high speed. I got this model as a replacement specifically because it could withstand high winds. The aluminum beams are crazy thick and strong, and the panels slide between the aluminum beams, so no loose clips to worry about, and the panels won't go anywhere as they're wedged into the structure. The panels are over twice as thick as my previous greenhouse's -- which also survived more than one hurricane (though a few panels had to be recovered from the yard which is why I really like how these new panels work) Screwing the structure into cinder block and concrete was our choice as an upgrade to give it more height, but also ensure it couldn't blow away - it'd have to be torn apart by winds to go anywhere. For hurricane season, I just bungie the windows shut and use a velcro tie on the door handles so they won't rattle. I have some additional rope with tie-downs that came with the install to help keep the roof from catching wind should we get the eye of a hurricane or a tornado, but so far haven't used it. It's not indestructible, but nothing is. I suspect it'd take 175+ mph winds just fine, but whatever is in those winds would be a hazard. A tree falling on it, for example, would end it - it is only aluminum and plastic after all. But, that's true for most anything. A vehicle, a garage, etc. A direct hit from a tornado would likely destroy it as well, but that's true of most structures - even 2 story brick homes. The upside is that my homeowner's insurance would cover the damages. I purchased this one partially with money from our last (inferior) greenhouse that was totalled during a simple tropical storm because our chimney cap struck it. It's odd because the winds weren't especially high - just happened to catch the chimney cap just right to tear it off & apparently the roofer hadn't fixed it as securely as it should have been after the last time it'd been worked on.
Propane heat and get cheap black garbage cans. Fill the cans with water and mix in calcium chloride from pool stores until it won't dissolve any further in the water. The black cans and water in them will absorb the heat from the sunlight and release it at night when it's cold. The calcium chloride will prevent the water from freezing and is effective to -25 degrees Fahrenheit.
I grow cherry tomatoes in mine all winter. During the day, the sun keeps things warm if you've built in a sunny spot, and at night, I have lots of water jugs (re-used) under tables and on shelves below the plants to maintain some heat as well as an electric space heater with a thermal switch so it turns on only when temps drop below 60 F. I've also done a bit of weatherproofing to seal gaps where air might escape. I've had many nights when it was down to 10 F outside, but it never dropped below 55F inside. I'm in the south east, though. You might have to do more to insulate it depending upon how harsh your winters are. Bubble wrap or other insulation can make a world of difference. I used bubble wrap during the winters on a previous greenhouse, but haven't found it necessary with this one.
so these are like Pre Fab houses. Must gave been in existence for ages. But popular in some countries. In America people do stuff by themselves. Labor is cheap in some places, so, this stuff may not sell. But it looks so cool. Those walls are like Plastic materials? ah okay, Lowe’s is a store. I’d google it....
Wood seems like a poor choice for a foundation. Even if its rated for ground contact, it will rot. May take 10 years or 5 years who knows but all I know is you're gonna have to undo everything to fix it.
More like 40+ years. Moisture will penetrate concrete and stone foundation, too -- eventually, every foundation needs a patching job. Contact treated wood is the more affordable option and plenty strong to support the weight of the greenhouse.
Did you guys have any fun while making this greenhouse? You look like 2 aliens who work synchronised without using words or having fun. You guys look Scary. And the goggles 🤣🤣🤣 combined with the G.I. Jane look 🤣🤣🤣
Sarina Chaudhry : Why are you so petty and critical? They’re just showing how to put together a greenhouse kit. Damn, who cares what they’re wearing?!!
James gross the term Yuppie was originally a shortening of “Young upwardly mobile professional”. It is a term that can be applied to any younger professional and usually superficial people that have money to burn. The term has mainly been replaced with the term Hipster. Although a Hipster can range from a poor vegan to a Rich minimalist soy freak in loafers with no socks.
It's to make sure what you're building is safe, stable, fireproof, etc. It's why we don't have as many devastating fires and collapses that were so prevalent before widescale permitting. It's a really interesting history if you look into it!
I’ve built the commercial greenhouses for Lowe’s stores for years . Always loved the design and simple installation.
I wish you could come to my house!

When I grew up in the country, we had those self closing screen doors on our house.
how much the costs to complete that greenhouse?

what size is this green house
Greenhouse installed right away can we pay it
This looks like the one Frosty 'died' in. Lol. Thanks for this, I was thinking of doing one, but too much hassle with building codes.
This should be titled: "How to ASSEMBLE a Greenhouse" ... it isn't building one, it is putting together a pre-fab kit.

Morning how much do all of this cost
This is not a green house...but a tiny house 😍
Any idea where I can find replacement panels? They are blown away by 30+ mph winds! Make sure you order extra clips on eBay too!
If the panels blew out they are not Monticello. Monticello fits into channels. No clips needed to hold these panels in.
How secure is this structure in hurricane prone areas?
On a scale of tent to cave I'd rate it as a badminton ball.
I was told it can withstand 65mph wind
Mine's screwed to a cinder block foundation on a concrete slab, and it's been through 3 hurricanes so far. 120+ mph winds with gusts up to 150+ mph.
