I really appreciate your filming approach, in just showing the steps & the results instead of watching the process. I truly dislike other channels that think we need to watch them cutting lumber, nailing etc. I one's willing to tackle a project like this, we already have those skills ;). Thanks.
Looks really nice.
Unless it’s really cloudy, you shouldn’t need that grow light.
Good job.
TexasPrepper2 thanks!
I like it! The only thing that drives me nuts with poly tunnels is wrapping the tunnel. Absolutely hate it.
Perfect! Thank you this was just what I was looking for to build a tunnel for my meat chickens. They don’t roost so they need a place to stay dry when they are in at night. The width and basic framing for the door was what I needed.
Awesome!!!
I watched about 100 videos on the building a cattle panel poly tunnel and I was gathering some elements from each one, thinking how to incorporate them into one, and here we go, the last video I looked at was yours, and it had almost everything as I was envisioning!!! Thank you and God bless you and your family + farm!!!
That’s awesome!!! Hope everything works for you!
@@TheRealMoviePastor One update I may implement is the bottom ventilation section: ruclips.net/video/QACRQN920pE/видео.html
@@mtomas7 yes. I wish I had done that.
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to get 16 foot cattle panels in my Tacoma since I don't have a trailer. I was almost to the point of going with PVC for my supports. Thanks for the help!
awesome
did you get it home - build it yet?
@@TheRealMoviePastorActually just started on it yesterday! Got the cattle panels home no issue and it was easy sailing from there. Got the sidewalls and cattle panel up, just need to finish framing the door/window and waiting on my plastic to get here.
awesome! @@bigsasquatch1991
Thanks so much for the video and for the ideas I'm going to be turning an old wooden swing set into a greenhouse.
That would be awesome
Wonderful work done.
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
Sarah Wade thanks and you are welcome! Hope it helps!
Great video!! This looks really well done for the cost. Thanks for sharing.
SeedsandArrowsFrontier appreciate it.!
Looks good. Swap out the zipties with hog rings when they break.
Good call!
I just got started doing some herb/veggie gardening in my backyard and this would be a super cool idea to try one day! Too cool!
Alyse Adams thanks. Hope your veggies do great!!
Nice!
Great job! Oh how I miss my lemon trees & pineapples. Having moved to upper OK, the ability to grow such, has resorted to inside plants. Have a pomegranate that I brought from GA/FL east coast. Unfortunately, all my citrus trees/plants froze when we had the “once in every 20 yrs ice storm”, this past Jan.
Cannot grow in ground, due to too many rocks, or should I say ‘boulders’, throughout yard. In process of building a greenhouse, such as yours. Best of luck to you! Wish my family, (grandma), would have kept some of her seeds, from yrs bk. Will be resourcing actual heirloom seeds/plants to grow. Hate the GMO’s.
nice
Thanks
Very nice design and build!
Sleepless In The Carolinas thanks
Nice plan
Thanks
If you add a 3-foot stem wall on both sides, it makes a very nice 10-foot wide bt 8-feet wide greenhouse.
That’s an excellent idea.
Lifelake said this its a 12x8x8 on deminsions in the comments. I dont understand you on the 10x8 when u add 3ft stems. What is that benefiting. Please explain
Love this! Just subscribed, hoping you get to 1,000 soon :) Nice job!
Thank you!!!
awesome
Thanks
Very nice
Thank you
New Subscriber Here! Really enjoyed this video! Very informative! We are actually in the middle of building our cattle panel greenhouse now and it’s VERY similar to your build but not exactly. Watching from South Carolina! Hope to get to know you better through our RUclips channels. GOD Bless Ya. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇👍🏻👍🏻
Hey there pastor. Thanks for watching. Hope to get some new content up soon.
I live in Florida, where it rains a lot. Can i use sceen instead of the poly cover.
im not really sure. cant hurt to try I guess
Geez, that looks amazing. How often do you have to switch out the poly?
Not sure exactly. I built this in November during thanksgiving holday. The poly is UV rated for 4 years. Not sure how it will hold up in the brutal florida sun. Thanks for stopping by. Been enjoying your videos!
@@TheRealMoviePastor and it survived the winter ok? Or do you dismantle over the stormy season? Good stuff!
The Ripe Tomato Farms our winter is pretty mild. We had some big thunderstorms and it was fine. If we had a cat 2 or higher hurricane warning I would take it down.
@@TheRealMoviePastor yeah, I guess there's usually enough warning time to act if need be.
The Ripe Tomato Farms we’ve been here 4 years. Had to board up once. Michael hit 80
Miles east of us. Winds and rain was bad but lots of destruction East of us. We usually have good waning for a week to prepare and a day or so to board up and clean the yard to prevent debris. I borrowed this idea from Texasprepper. He is in the comments here.
Like your design with shelf’s. Good job! Do you have the inside frame dimensions? Looks like you have overlap on the 2x6s? Then I understand you had to shorten one of the cattle panels by how much? Was it so your plastic would fit? Thank you.
I shortened them because they are 53” tall. They wouldn’t fit in my 12’ Frame. I left about 6” on each end of the long side in case I wanted to hook up a tractor and move it. So I had about 11’ total. Maybe 11’3” or so. So I cut off about 1/3 of. A panel. Even if I had exactly 12’ there or them would be too long (about 18” too long). Make sense?
Really nice greenhouse ya got there. I'm confused about the taller shelf being on the south side. Is it meant to block the sun from hitting the lower shelf? It seems like that must have been an intentional placement, but my first thought was that the taller one should be on the north side, so that the sunlight can evenly hit both shelves when the sun gets low in the sky.
You are probably right. I just made a guess as to what was best.
Wow! So what are the dementions and do you have to heat it on nights it goes below freezing? Well done young man!
12x8x8. I heat when it goes below freezing but it’s rare here in northwest Florida
How well does it keep up? Eventually it's often fluttering that will break the plastic and it might be a good idea to tie a string across the roof, to hold it down in areas where it tends to beat.
It’s been great. I had it two years and gave it to my neighbor. We took it apart and rebuilt in. Their yard. No tearing. Only faded a bit.
Nice video, how has this held up?
👍👍👍👍👍👍🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
You'll need a fan in there. Yours is very similar to mine.
I have two fans! Keeps it nice. Also have a heater and it’s controlled with my smart phone.
Could you share info on the heater ?
Here in the Netherlands I cant find such long cattle panels. Anyone expierence with attatching 2 cattle pannels to eachother to make a bow/hoop?
Does it matter which way the greenhouse faces. Our lot works better with the door and back window facing North and South? Will that be a problem?
ReRe I did door and window on west and East to maximize solar exposure on the long south side for winter heat. Honestly on a house this small I don’t think it’s significant either way
Just found u after someone posted one if your videos in a Facebook group.. the tubs u have tomatoes and such planted in. Is that there forever home or will u transplant them in like a raised bed?
Brian Ramsey it’s their forever Home. They will start beating before the last frost. I have more seedlings that will go In my raised beds. If it gets too warm In the greenhouse I will transplant them though.
Great design! How many hours did it take you to build this?
Bert it was over a period of three weekends working slowly. If I was good at construction and a bit younger I could have done it in a single weekend. Probably have 12-18 hours in it but again Im kinda slow and methodical and make mistakes along the way
@@TheRealMoviePastor thanks, that's gonna be me, good to know lol
Would have been better to see this in progress, esp putting those cattle panels into your truck bed. Do you know any big box stores that delivery those panels?
Agree. I didn’t think about doing the video till it was finished. I got the panels at tractor supply. They might deliver but Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t have them as far as I know.
Great job !
Maybe would have made it
Longer?
We could have but the lumber was readily available and it’s what I could afford and fit in the space I wanted to use.
Ok makes sense still a great build have a great day what other things are you doing?
What size poly roll did you have?
I think it was 16’ wide and 28’ long.
What gauge is the wire in your panels?
I used this one www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/feedlot-panel-cattle-16-ft-l-x-50-in-h. I want to says it’s like 5 or 6 gage wire.
Is it 14 or 16 gauge wire?? Or other kind?
Prefab cattle panel from tractor supply.
"I will show you how i build it in just a minute"
That is very very fast
Ed19601 you built yourself fast or me? This took me three weekends. Super slow. A good craftsman could do it in a day I bet!
@@TheRealMoviePastor no its a joke on what you said. I understand that you were gonna show us how you built it after a little while, but the way you said it made it sound that were going to show you how you took only a minute to build it.
Great build by the way
Ed19601 oh. Lol. I’m kinda slow some day. I have a lot of senior moments 🤣
@@TheRealMoviePastor me too :-)
inside the coop lol
List. Of. What you used lumber etc?
I don’t have a list. Best I can remember 2 2x6x12. 2 2x6x8. Half dozen or so 2x4x12. 3 16’ cattle panels. Couple 4x8 sheets of MDF
What is the dimension of the greenhouse?
christopher sanchez the wood on bottom is a 2x6x12 longways and a 2x6x8 wide. The cattle panels are 16’ x about 53”. That puts it about 6’3” at the apex. I had to cut one long ways to get 3 to fit inside. That’s make sense? Hope this helps.
With inflation, this will now cost you $500... HAHAHA. Okay, maybe not that much but it will be pricy.
Hahaha. Yes!!!
What size cattle panels did you use
You neglected to state that…🤷♀️🤷♀️
