Saw the hoodie or sweater AS a child our big summer vacation trip from Montreal was to Old Orchard Beach Maine, so many great memories, it was wonderful
Thanks for the great comment!! We have family that live up that way and my parents used to go regularly when they lived closer. It’s been too long since I’ve been up there, but it may be time to plan a post pandemic trip! Cheers
Recently, discovered your channel.... I am into basically everything that you are... poultry, gardening, camping, outdoor stuff etc. but I never learned how to build things ! Leaving me at the mercy of friends, and family....All the time being ridiculed for my ? sometimes even called lazy...which is far from the truth. being totally left handed...., no one had patience with me, as achild, when it came to building....they expected me to do things right handed.....upside down to me LOL what I'm trying to say is : by watching your great visually, step by step , building plans has helped me greatly. I have designed my own rustic arbor, garden boxes, from your videos, and hope to add on to my chicken house etc. so Thanks showing step by step....to the building challenged ....Ron Shook Ps. I live in the Adirondack Mtns. Upstate NY.
Ron Shook this had to be one of the best comments I've ever gotten! That is awesome the videos have inspired you. I can't imagine what it would be like having everyone try and force you into a specific box growing up like that. Most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing. I just keep telling myself to take my time and try to enjoy the build and in the end you can hide stuff with trim Lol! The confidence thing definitely got to me in the beginning but I do have fun and the payoff can be surprising. I wish you the best of luck on your building adventures!
I loved watching your build. You're patient and thorough attention to the details; very impressive. Nothing slapdash here, you have a structure that will serve you for many many years. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the kind words. It held up against a crazy winter and I am hoping for a bountiful growing season. We keep experiencing freezing nights so I have some seeds started in the greenhouse and some inside the house. ATB!
Thank you SO much! This year is the best so far with so much growing but the weather isn't cooperating so I haven't been able to plant in the garden. It is great to have this little greenhouse for exactly this issue. Hope your doing well and all the best. Cheers!
Glad I came across your video. I am currently building a lean to greehouse and have used some of your design in mine. Almost have framing done and looking for the Polycarbonate here in Colorado to install in the next week or so. We spend some time in Maine and loved the mellow nature of your video and your homestead. thanks much!
Thank you for the great comment and I wish you the best on your build. I love my little greenhouse and even spend time out there just listening to the rain or drinking coffee. Cheers!
Bill Wagner Thanks! It's been a lot of fun working on projects together on the property. Great memories. This weekend I'm hoping to start the solar rain barrel misting system in the greenhouse
This video series was exactly what I needed. I'm about to build a lean to greenhouse in very similar weather conditions. It's quite difficult to buy an aluminium frame greenhouse due to covid related long lead ins. Yours looks better anyway and would suit my site. Thank you for sharing your advice and experience. May your tomatoes ripen and your cabbages be slug free!
Thank you so much for the awesome comment. It really gets my weekend off to a great start. I wish you the best with your build and please remember to have fun while you build it. I have been able to grow stuff in it almost year round and has been a great place to hang out with a cup of coffee in the worst weather. Cheers!!!
Wow this was amazing we need to go back and watch your other videos this was easy to follow and learn from as well! Hahaha loved the ending added clips were funny. This was really gorgeous one of the best greenhouse videos we have seen ! Your ending and the gears was cool! New subscribers and supporters!
Just found your series on the greenhouse. Great project. Any dimensions or plans you can share it is about the right size for my daughters place. THanks
Wow the attention to detail is lovely ♡ I really enjoy watching these. Were off grid, northern Mn and will be building a greenhouse in the Southside of our house in the next few weeks. This by far has been the best one I've seen on you tube! Ty for sharing ♡
Thank you SO much for the feedback! I really hope you have a great time building yours. This is the best year I have had so far getting plants going I have run out of room. I'm excited for your experience you'll get when you have it. In the fall I love just hanging out with a coffee... or wine; especially in the snow. ATB, Cheers!
Awesome green house! I want one sooooo bad ! Mostly to winter over my plants and hang out in nature during the cold and rain with my friendly flowers! and little Doggy of course!
I have to admit I have spent some good quality time just hanging out in there in the winter time. The chickens like it because it's nice and warm. They go in and lay down like its a holiday lol. ATB
Lauren Laurino he isn't a big fan of being in the videos but I had to include him. He was a pretty big help with this project. I am going to sneak him in on upcoming videos too. Shhhh, haha.
I live in the south but we still get snow and occasionally below zero temps. I’ve found that making it as water tight as you can will help keep the heat in. At least enough to keep some cold acclimated crops like lettuce and spinach going all winter. I’m looking into making a compost heap inside the green house to create heat. Cheers
It has held up really well. A few changes I would’ve made after the experiences we’ve had so far would definitely have to make it bigger. And more storage. It has been a good resource at the beginning of the year and during fall/winter.
Kim Wal thank you! I try and take advantage of being able to spend time with him after the loss of our Mom. I’m sorry to hear your dad isn’t here any more. Best wishes and best of luck with everything. Cheers
You have provided a number of ideas and inspiration for my own project which i will post when it is complete!! And btw, the chickens nearly steal the show!!!
I came across your channel this morning and I absolutely love your vids.great job on your builds.I told my bf he has to build me a green house like this.
This just totally made my day! I really appreciate the comments and super happy you like the greenhouse. I built a solar misting system for it that has worked great and lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. I did a video on that too. I hope you build one. I have never had soooooo much basil before. Herbs love it in there. Take care and good luck on yours!!
Just saw your videos. Wish I found them before I started. Doing cattle panel hoop house and considering polycarbonate panels for end walls and door. Next project will be a green house...love it and enjoyed watching you build.
If I had plans I’d happily give them away but unfortunately I just kind of winged it based off the size and shape of the shed. The roof was decided by the size of the greenhouse plastic I could afford for the project. Sorry it’s not really any help, but my suggestion is just jump in and start. I found that if you size it off the actual work space or growing space, and build around that; it will suit your needs. Best of luck! Cheers
What is done to mitigate the absorption of humidity into the house. Humidity that through the facing wall and soffits migrates into the roof space creating mold and rot. Thank you
Couple years later, still a great video, glad i found it as I am looking for inspiration and ideas/plans to build my own. This one hits the spot.. Mind me asking a ball park $figure for materials.?
Daniel Rabines Thanks! After everything I think it was around 1300$, maybe a little less. That includes the rock I put down inside as well. The greenhouse window paneling was a large part of it but I’m glad I didn’t go cheap, it has been great so far. This year it is really paying itself off. Hopefully this helps, cheers

It actually dries clear and I added trim afterwards that gave it a nice clean look. It helped waterproof the inside, and as a result helped contain the heat in the winter. We have lettuce, kale, and even some peppers going well in there right now. Although the weather has been crazy, we have seen some temps in the teens and nothing was killed. I appreciate the insight, atb. Cheers!
Andy Perrine Appreciate the comment. Just got all the parts for the solar misting system today. Fingers crossed I can start this week! Thanks again, ATB
Thank you so much. This year has proven to be extremely successful with the greenhouse. I still have seeds going and veggies that should be able to harvest for a while in the greenhouse and transferred into boxes, like lettuce. Just planted a ridiculous amount of garlic in the garden too! Cheers
Just back from home depot bought all the wood, thank you again for the inspiration. Best video on RUclips. I'll let you know how my plants do. I'll do a video on my channel when it's done and I'll send you the link
Awesome ! Do you think afterwards you would have done differently for laying the polycarbonate pannels ; the white silicone looks so messy comparatively to the entire excellent work you've done ?
Sorry I didn't see this comment until now. The silicone actually dried clear and after a proper set time it can't be seen at all. There are some minor things I would improve, but that has to do with lack of carpentry experience. Cheers!
Holly's Simple Life I didn't use plans when I built it, kind of made it up as I went. The polycarbonate sheets are 2 ft wide so I built the frame around those. I ordered the sheets first and payed out the front wall to get my width 8'8" and went as high as I could at the shed to get a good pitch on the roof. The front wall ended up being almost 7' for head clearance considering a good base layer of gravel for drainage. If you'd like more in depth measurements I can trying and get together some rough plans and send them to you
Nice job I have a shed I would like to add onto in same way. Difference is I have windows on that wall. I am thinking this would add heat in winter but could cook it in the summer. Did you find your shen much hotter this summer? Thank you
redwood1957 The shed did get warm inside but I can’t say for sure if made that big of a difference. I built a lean to shed on the other side too for the mower and chainsaws and I’m thinking about cutting in a window for air flow. I may install a small solar fan to circulate air. Good luck with yours, it was a fun build. Cheers!
@@fireballmalone1 I still have not done this as I am concerned with moisture damage to the shed siding due to moisture from green house. Do you think I am over thinking it just do it and add vent fan. Has your common wall shown any signs of moisture build up?
redwood1957 I think maybe the greenhouse actually adds protection to that side of the shed in a way. If the shed is a good one, and it’s built to be outside, moisture from the greenhouse shouldn’t do any damage I don’t think. I stained my shed before building it to add a layer of protection. I say go for it!
Surprisingly it has proven to be really beneficial. Lettuce and green onions have done well all through winter inside actually. This year I am thinking about making some cold frames outside which is like a mini greenhouse, and I'll see if that allows me to expand. Cheers!
fireballmalone1 did you mix them together or what part did you paint t with which. It looks amazing and you’ve inspired me to try the same design. Did you do it to any plans or sketchup?
@@houch7640 The one I used is an all in one that I used for the whole thing. I didn't use any plans and had never built anything like it before. I wasn't able to find good plans for a lean-to greenhouse so I just started with the frame and went from there. Since the size was really dependent on the established size of the shed it was attached to I just tried my best to make sure everything was level. Sorry I don't have anything that will help your build, but good luck and thanks for the comment. Cheers!
I don't sorry. I work better by kind of figuring it out as I go so I am horrible at not only following directions, but documenting something like this.
I actually got these at www.greenhousemegastore.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiArY2fBhB9EiwAWqHK6vaXVVqJFMzWCNt8UAR2qfyN0cDF0TOFj97p6GfPR_psNpy0pRXLqxoCZ20QAvD_BwE I hope that helps. I don’t get any kind of commission or anything, just wanted to assist. Cheers
Why use landscape fabric behind the boards? Aren't you supposed to use u joints for polycarbonate? Just asking because I'm about to buy all the materials to start and every little detail is confusing to me.... I hope mine looks half as good as yours. I'm thinking of just using 2x2s and twin wall polycarbonate sheets all the way to the ground 🤔. In crawl space opening to the shed I'm thinking about using thst 3in purple insulation wrapped in polyfilm and then boarded up. I'm concerned about humidity damaging the shed though.
I got these panels at the greenhouse megastore online and the cost wasn't really cheap but I am happy with the panels and so far they have held up great. I hope this helps! Cheers
@@jimpollockmusic To be honest I am not really sure. I kind of eyeball stuff like this and just start. If I over think or over plan I tend not to start. I will go out and measure it tomorrow and give you an idea of the dimensions. ATB and thanks for the comments!
@@fireballmalone1 Appreciate that. I really like how it turned out for you and getting ready to buy materials. So, the additional info will be helpful. Great greenhouse!
@@jpollock5561 If you can let me know how things go...I would really appreciate any kinds of feedback on things you've learned along the way. Good luck and AT|B
Hi! I am new to carpentry and am having a really hard time figuring out how to do a bird's mouth notch on a 1:12 roof pitch. When you made you marks on the lumber did you allow for the thickness of the ledger board? It has been my achilles' heel, so any info is much appreciated!
I can completely empathize with you on this tricky technique. Like you, I am a novice when it comes to wood work, a little trial and error helps me figure stuff out. I used quite a few small blocks to practice the cuts after I figured out my pitch. This video is the one I used when I built the greenhouse and it was the only one I could make sense of because it didn't require the Pythagorean theorem or complicated maths. Hopefully this helps and best of luck ruclips.net/video/xAuQdQ78mrI/видео.html
I really love the add on and im going to do the same on my shed yours turned out awesome my question is i have been reading reviews on the Polycarbonate and people are having issues with the size are the 2x8 sheets you used actually 2x8 thank you for a response
Thanks for the comment. I didn’t experience any issue with the sheets I used for the greenhouse. It’s actually been up a few years now and is still doing really well. I hope this helps, cheers
Hi. Your greenhouse looks amazing. I want to write an article about making leanto greenhouse. Can I talke screen shots from your video ? I will definitely credit you for your work. Hope u don't mind ☺
Absolutely, and thank you for the consideration. Good luck with your project and please send me a link to it or directions of how to access the article if possible when it's done. Cheers!
Where and how much did you paid for the panel?I’m thinking about building my greenhouse but I need 28-30 panels; also, I estimated that it will cost me around 1900 for panels and lumber. Any tips.
Hey man, How see through is your poly sheets? Say, you didn’t want anyone to be able to see your tomato plants, how close would someone need to be in order to tell what kind of tomato plant it is?
I love the build! Are you in a region where you have to worry about the ground shifting due to freezing? I'm in NY so I dont think the foundation would work without being below the frost line. Thanks!
B H I’m pretty sure it was around 1200 after everything. The most expensive part was the double layer plastic I used but am really glad I got something of higher quality. This year it has really paid off. Hope this helps, cheers
I really appreciate the comment and the sub. Yeah, my Dad is kinda my best friend. One great thing about RUclips is you can document memories and share them. He's a pretty awesome guy. Cheers!
Looks excellent! What did you go with for the poly windows? I've been eyeing the clear corrigated clear pvc panels at Lowe's but look a little cheap to me. Are those double pane panels?
Casper's Custom Works The windows are twin walled 8mm polycarbonate sheets. I got these at greenhousemegastore.com. They weren't too expensive. They also ship really fast.
After everything it ended up being about $800. Considering the wood came from a local Mennonite community that has better pricing on materials, but the clear sheets were a little expensive and contributed to a lot of the cost.
Thanks for posting your videos. The greenhouse looks great! I plan on building something similar next spring (I hate aluminum frames on greenhouses), but I'm concerned about getting moisture or mildew inside the polycarbonate? It doesn't look like you sealed the ends (I might be mistaken), did you experience any moisture or mold inside the panels now after two years?

redwood1957 I think maybe the greenhouse actually adds protection to that side of the shed in a way. If the shed is a good one, and it’s built to be outside, moisture from the greenhouse shouldn’t do any damage I don’t think. I stained my shed before building it to add a layer of protection. I say go for it!
How did you seal up the top of the roof where it meets the wall? Or does rain just seep down the walls?
Does it work well during the colder weather?
Surprisingly it has proven to be really beneficial. Lettuce and green onions have done well all through winter inside actually. This year I am thinking about making some cold frames outside which is like a mini greenhouse, and I'll see if that allows me to expand. Cheers!
Thank you for the video.
Awesome!!
Thanks!
great video series. What did you use to stain the wood exactly
Thank you! The stain I used is -
Olympic 79562A-01 Gallon Redwood, Maximum Deck Fence & Siding Stain
I hope that helps. I got it at Lowes :-)
fireballmalone1 did you mix them together or what part did you paint t with which. It looks amazing and you’ve inspired me to try the same design. Did you do it to any plans or sketchup?
@@houch7640 The one I used is an all in one that I used for the whole thing. I didn't use any plans and had never built anything like it before. I wasn't able to find good plans for a lean-to greenhouse so I just started with the frame and went from there. Since the size was really dependent on the established size of the shed it was attached to I just tried my best to make sure everything was level. Sorry I don't have anything that will help your build, but good luck and thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Buen trabajo 👌👌👌
Gracias!
What is the size of the wood frame that holds the windows inside?
Do you have a blog anywhere that you breakdown the build in terms of material used etc?
I don't sorry. I work better by kind of figuring it out as I go so I am horrible at not only following directions, but documenting something like this.
looks like a double walled plastic with air pockets between. have a link for those?
Search for corrugated sheet or polycarbonate clear panel 24x96
I actually got these at www.greenhousemegastore.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiArY2fBhB9EiwAWqHK6vaXVVqJFMzWCNt8UAR2qfyN0cDF0TOFj97p6GfPR_psNpy0pRXLqxoCZ20QAvD_BwE
I hope that helps. I don’t get any kind of commission or anything, just wanted to assist. Cheers
Why use landscape fabric behind the boards? Aren't you supposed to use u joints for polycarbonate? Just asking because I'm about to buy all the materials to start and every little detail is confusing to me.... I hope mine looks half as good as yours. I'm thinking of just using 2x2s and twin wall polycarbonate sheets all the way to the ground 🤔. In crawl space opening to the shed I'm thinking about using thst 3in purple insulation wrapped in polyfilm and then boarded up. I'm concerned about humidity damaging the shed though.
Where is the best place to find the plastic sheets you used? Is it plexiglass? Big box corrugated prices are pretty high.
I got these panels at the greenhouse megastore online and the cost wasn't really cheap but I am happy with the panels and so far they have held up great. I hope this helps! Cheers
fireballmalone1 Thank you. Also, haven’t read thru all questions, but by guessing the dimensions look to be 8’ width, 8’ height, 6’ depth?
@@jimpollockmusic To be honest I am not really sure. I kind of eyeball stuff like this and just start. If I over think or over plan I tend not to start. I will go out and measure it tomorrow and give you an idea of the dimensions. ATB and thanks for the comments!
@@fireballmalone1 Appreciate that. I really like how it turned out for you and getting ready to buy materials. So, the additional info will be helpful. Great greenhouse!
@@jpollock5561 If you can let me know how things go...I would really appreciate any kinds of feedback on things you've learned along the way. Good luck and AT|B
Hi! I am new to carpentry and am having a really hard time figuring out how to do a bird's mouth notch on a 1:12 roof pitch. When you made you marks on the lumber did you allow for the thickness of the ledger board? It has been my achilles' heel, so any info is much appreciated!
I can completely empathize with you on this tricky technique. Like you, I am a novice when it comes to wood work, a little trial and error helps me figure stuff out. I used quite a few small blocks to practice the cuts after I figured out my pitch. This video is the one I used when I built the greenhouse and it was the only one I could make sense of because it didn't require the Pythagorean theorem or complicated maths. Hopefully this helps and best of luck

I really love the add on and im going to do the same on my shed yours turned out awesome my question is i have been reading reviews on the Polycarbonate and people are having issues with the size are the 2x8 sheets you used actually 2x8 thank you for a response
Thanks for the comment. I didn’t experience any issue with the sheets I used for the greenhouse. It’s actually been up a few years now and is still doing really well. I hope this helps, cheers
Hi. Your greenhouse looks amazing. I want to write an article about making leanto greenhouse. Can I talke screen shots from your video ? I will definitely credit you for your work. Hope u don't mind ☺
Absolutely, and thank you for the consideration. Good luck with your project and please send me a link to it or directions of how to access the article if possible when it's done. Cheers!
@@fireballmalone1 Thanksyou. I will let you know when its finished
Great build bro, not sure if you mentioned it just wondering the length and width?
Where and how much did you paid for the panel?I’m thinking about building my greenhouse but I need 28-30 panels; also, I estimated that it will cost me around 1900 for panels and lumber. Any tips.
Hey man, How see through is your poly sheets? Say, you didn’t want anyone to be able to see your tomato plants, how close would someone need to be in order to tell what kind of tomato plant it is?
looks awesome! what are the dimensions roughly?
I love the build! Are you in a region where you have to worry about the ground shifting due to freezing? I'm in NY so I dont think the foundation would work without being below the frost line. Thanks!
Appreciate you;))
Thanks!
How much did this cost you to build, roughly ?
B H I’m pretty sure it was around 1200 after everything. The most expensive part was the double layer plastic I used but am really glad I got something of higher quality. This year it has really paid off. Hope this helps, cheers
@@fireballmalone1 thanks for a quick response. I'm going to give it a go with inspiration from your design!
Thanks for your help !
Great video , New sub here. Is that your dad that is helping you ? Cherish the memories ...
I really appreciate the comment and the sub. Yeah, my Dad is kinda my best friend. One great thing about RUclips is you can document memories and share them. He's a pretty awesome guy. Cheers!
Looks excellent! What did you go with for the poly windows? I've been eyeing the clear corrigated clear pvc panels at Lowe's but look a little cheap to me. Are those double pane panels?
Casper's Custom Works The windows are twin walled 8mm polycarbonate sheets. I got these at greenhousemegastore.com. They weren't too expensive. They also ship really fast.
What is the estimated cost for materials? Thanks!
After everything it ended up being about $800. Considering the wood came from a local Mennonite community that has better pricing on materials, but the clear sheets were a little expensive and contributed to a lot of the cost.
Interesting...!
Stanley Vo Thank you :)
Very nice! Can you come and do mine next?
Paula Beattie lol! It actually wasn't that difficult to build. I didn't have any plans, but that's kind of how most of my builds go :)
me too! WV
Did the plastic panels give you any trouble with expansion?
Do you have the dimensions please
I’m wanting to do the same thing……thx
Wow!
Aunt Bill t williams Thanks!
Thanks for posting your videos. The greenhouse looks great! I plan on building something similar next spring (I hate aluminum frames on greenhouses), but I'm concerned about getting moisture or mildew inside the polycarbonate? It doesn't look like you sealed the ends (I might be mistaken), did you experience any moisture or mold inside the panels now after two years?
The greenhouse looks great! Love the outtakes at the end. Did someone get a haircut during filming or do you have a twin brother? ;-)
Lily Mac lol, very observant! It's probably a funny thing to watch but I cut my own hair for convenience. I try to keep it spontaneous.
Great stuff man, thanks. Beautiful property too...
Is that your father helping you in the video?
David Hathaway yeah, after my Mom passed I moved him on the property. We are planning a tiny house build for him. Hope to start this summer. Cheers
nice
jelaniasim Thanks!
Fuck yea I will give you a thumbs up button and a comment.
Well shit... I wish I had someone in my life to build me awesome stuff like this
LOL, thanks.
Wow! You've been busy. Nice beard...lol.
nwroadrat Thanks bud. Hope things are going good for you. Spring is finally here! Can't wait to get the NC out
Looking forward to seeing you out again.
