This is one of the most creative, innovative, lovely transformative structure. Unlike many repurposed creations, this one feels like art. I love the addition of colored glass in some jars, and the nesting materials for birds. The sounds of water; greenery… it is a lovely little haven. From cans and jars we toss. Tremendous!
I've been trying to figure out how to build an upcycled greenhouse when I came across this! Absolutely inspiring! I'm going to incorporate some of this into my own!
I love your project. A massive inspiration to me. I’ve been collecting glass coffee jars and others for quite sometime. lol. Nightmare to store. This spring I decided enough was enough. And start the build. This video has made me feel that I’m not as mad as people think I am. My vision of using 100% recycled junk is now ongoing & the amassing of all the materials has been my first annual leaves promise to myself that my madness is as sound as your vision. Thank you. I feel normal again.
I really want to do this, it looks like a great project. Are the jars hot glued together? Or maybe clear silicone? How long would silicone last before it degraded?
Very impressive! Awesome 👏 job guys. I’m thinking of ways to incorporate bottles and now maybe jars! To make my bigger chicken coop. I think the color will make the chickens happier too. I’d love to know how it’s working out.
Better approach would be to take same type jars and tape mouths together to form glass blocks. Looks like they used silicone to adhere them together. For a greenhouse - where air and heat have to be controlled - would require setting up a form (maybe cardboard boxes lined with plastic or whatever) to fill the space between jars while standing vertically. Could reduce the amount of silicone required by making a custom form for each side of the jar joint - wide enough apart to solidify the wall. A lot of work and thought to properly design, but it’s doable. I have been working toward this as a way to reduce material costs for my greenhouse, while incorporating as many recycled materials as possible. Using the air as insulation, while managing sunlight is a key challenge. I intend to use white concrete with bottle blocks for the lower exterior walls - to the height of the container beds inside - no sunlight wanted at root level anyway. Then, solid sections of bottle blocks up to the roof. Am thinking about a dual wall system that allows airflow between for insulation - similar to the concept behind dual polycarbonate panels. It would be a thick wall, but using smaller bottles may make it work… They have created a cool space that works well for them, but it is not a greenhouse. 😊
Use type S mortar for cementing bottle walls . It dries a light grey , if that is white enough for you ? Which I have only built those to about 4 ft high , 3-4 ft wide topping off with a 2 x8 sill . Then on above sections ... I set the bottles in place and use wood shims / duct tape / whatever to keep them in place . 2 sided tape might be good but haven't tried it. Then use that expanding foam to glue them in place permanent. After it dries , cut the foam off where it squeezes out to far ,and use the same mortar to coat the foam matching the lower section that is solid mortar between . Make sure not to leave any of the smooth outer surface that the foam dries with . The most tedious part is cleaning the bottles up after mortar . But have figured out a method that makes it quicker , albeit it creates a texture to the mortar that may not be desired , which is a rough stippling . But method goes as follows ... After letting mortar set up a bit . Clean bottle faces of any thick mud with brush and water. Also getting any of the inbetween mortar close to where wanting it's finish. Then use a hose sprayer on the mister setting . But you want to point the sprayer down , with only it's fan edge hitting the bottle face. Starting on top row , and work your way down , with mostly clean bottle faces . Plus notice the mortar between now for how it looks. Any final cement/sand grains on the glass ... wipe with clean semi wet sponge. Which I build them only 3-4 horizonal rows high at a time ... 1 bag worth of mortar / 30ish bottles . So obviously you then need to reclean the lower bottles each time . But now with mortar set up , you can spray them at full pressure with hose . Just avoid the fresh mortar , and remember a light film or sand grains can be cleaned off later once completely set .
С практической точки зрения, фигня полная. Банки открыты с одной стороны, там скопится пыль, грязь, плесень и насекомые. И как вы это будете приводить в порядок?

Well done, what you have done is exquisite.
That’s awesome. I love it!
So cool, now you need a RUclips channel on how to build it ❤️
I've been trying to figure out how to build an upcycled greenhouse when I came across this! Absolutely inspiring! I'm going to incorporate some of this into my own!
Make RUclips videos you're beautiful ✌️
How did they fill in the gaps though? That’s a lot of holes for wind to take out all the heat?
Looks like they shoved moss, among other things.
Omg this is so beautiful, perfect!!! Very nice project ❤
How are they connected? Is an adhesive used or just dry fitted?

This is amazing! So inspiring for upcycled design. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, it's absolutely beautiful! What a creative way to upcycle!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Would love to hear how it is functioning as a green house?
Nice idea 💡💖💙💚🌎🌍🌏💙💚 Re-cycle 💚 Re-use 💚 Be Green 💚
I love this
Great idea ...great r value

Silicone adhesive for structural bond?

I just love fruity baguettes.
I'm surprised they didn't use concrete to hold them together. :)
wonder how its withstood the elements
"low cost"
time isn't free, but i still bet the frame and etc cost a fair amount.

Threw up, a little bit.
A how to would be useful
Mortar?
What the hells even that?
Holy. These guys(I think) look like a couple science experiments. Quite off in the head lmao
why so agressive?
Trans man
Disgusting.
