What a wonderful project. neatly explained & background music was smoothing. I am looking in to having small greenhouse in my garden here in UK. Looked at many ways of doing rather than buying from THE companies. Looked at with cement blocks and this . I am going with you on this. I am UK
For the negative commentators:- If you have nothing constructive to add then say nothing
I came to this video to lean and oh boy, I did find yet another way to use Pallets. I am in process of making garden bench, raised bed and preparation table with hand wash basin, a bed and dog bath with pallets. I might post the video but not sure as negative comments will put me off.
Thanks again for lovely project....
It's the positive uplifting comments like yours that make it worth it. Thank you for watching and enjoying my video. Have a wonderful day.

@@RusticByNature 🍀I think this is an awesome DIY project! Do you have enough reinforcements for heavy snow season? If so-please share your ideas😀My 2 biggest concerns are storms w/strong winds & heavy snowfalls. I've been wanting to build one for yrs but haven't been able to just yet-I don't want it to crash once I get it going ya know?!
Vijaya Joshi if you like it then that's all that matters. Build it and enjoy it. The ones that bitch are jealous.
Emma is precious! What a great assistant! Great video THANKS SO MUCH! 💖
Me Justme Thank you.
LOVE IT. Good on you for finding yet another great use for repurposing wood pallets.
I like your assistant...she's so sparkly!
What a cool greenhouses many years of great growing I pray comes your way. Love your little helpers outfit that first day to cute in her silver and purple.
I like the way you braced the pvc up, probably necessary for the snow in winter. Here in the southern gulf coast area, I just used wire and boards to hold my pvc together.
Hats off for making best use of available space and materials.
Thank you
When it snows does it look like a stretch igloo?
I love pallet structures. Reminds me of a pallet tongue. Which is very godly. Renewable resources.
Love the size bud! Mine is about 7'x10' simular design but mainly used to store garden supplies and get seedlings started and to size before moving to garden boxes. Fantastic job!!
A couple of large stakes wacked through the pallets is how we used to build fences :) looking great.
I have thought about doing the same thing. Thanks for watching.
I did build my fence with pallets!
I put down a cedar door on mine and that helped hold the sides on a bit more. Great way of doing it though. That puppy is huge I wish I had one that big. Nice roof. Great job...
WOW l dont live with snow so l didnt think you could have a greenhouse in that sort of weather. what a great idea. very clever TFS
Sent to my mother, my sister and a few friend's. Thank you for sharing and making this video. I will be building atleast 3 of these. Great video. Great way to recycle and using old materials. Excellent
Pretty awesome dude!! I was a little worried when I saw the ugly painted pallets but you turned them around and the green house looks beautiful! Very talented! So happy for you. Can’t wait to look at your other videos hoping you show all the progress. God bless!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoy it.
At first I was asking myself why I’m watching this video, but THEN, I realized that your top portion is brilliant and exactly what I need to do to shade my entire house. Seriously, I’ve been wracking my brain and there’s the answer in your video. Thanks so much!
Very Cool, Im glad you continued watching.
Most excellent, and well done. And a big hello to your little helper. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Thanks for your comment.
using what is available and recycling, that is brilliant.
Thanks for watching and an excellent comment.
Those are reusable pallets. Those are new. They are expensive. Pallets painted blue or red like that means they want them back.
Without and explanation of some rare circumstance, I suspect theft more than recycling.
Might not be the case here ( theft ) but that is hundreds of dollars worth of pallets.
@@ItsNotMeItsYou007 you are correct, but there are a hundred explanations. maybe his father in law owns a shipping company and gave them to him? no reason to suspect theft. i only know what you said is correct because a friend of mine gave me a few of the blue pallets, and he told me the same thing....(he was the rightful owner)
@@izzimichaels2892
Like I said, there may be another explanation but the fact is pallets like that belong to a company that RENTS them out. They are meant to be returned.
I used to work for a major food warehouse. They pay daily rent on those pallets.
I even doubt that your friend had the right to give you pallets.
So a supplier ships out something on those pallets. The pallet disappears and they pay rent on it for a long time.
Just because a pallet is shipped to your jobsite or warehouse, does not mean that it now belongs to you.
If they were not expecting to get the pallet back, they use much cheaper pallets.
@@ItsNotMeItsYou007 makes sense, but my friend explained that he owned them, they are the better pallets etc....never mentioned renting them. but either way thanks for the info!
Good video, and good job! You’r planing is just as nice as use of materials. Keep going
and you'll have a full size farm.
HI, FROM CHILE, TODAY I GOT THE TOTAL OF PALLETS THAT I NEED TO START MY CONSTRUCTION..hehe I HOPE ALL GOES WELL WITH IT...
Very cool, Hope greenhouse garden grows well.
A very interesting way to build a very sturdy hothouse,I may just follow your lead on this!!
That's a cute little assistant!! So adorable!
Thank you. i can't imagine life without her, but she can be a little stinkball.
Rustic By Nature I have 4. Ages 9,10,11 and 7 months. I totally understand 😁
Whoa, what an awesome greenhouse!! So jealous!
Thank you.
Man, super cool. Way to go. Cute kid! Thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you
Great idea for a greenhouse. I'm sure you're going to get a tremendous amount of pleasure using it. It looks great and the walmart bags are a great idea. You should add a small fan connected to a thermostat for exhausting the hot air to the outside. Install a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Sir this is an absolutely wonderful build. Thank you, I could see myself building one or two here in the UK. Thank you for the idea, enjoy! Love the very neat effect with the wallmart bags. Great recycling!
good job man, I was going to build one simular to yours and go totally econo, but in the end I went plastic panels all wood framing, and ended up spending around $500.oo payed for with pop and beer can refund ,took one summer for the save up when I was done I was happy I did go this way, for it will be used for many a year, I went with hydroponics on one side and Dutch buckets on the other it already has paid for itself with a little help from me, keep growing and thanks for the video.
Cool, Where we are now there is room for more greenhouses and I want to build one like yours. Thanks for watching.
Rustic By Nature , that's funny because I still have alot of the materials that I previously bought ie. rolls of poly and pvc and was thinking like you on the more is better so I was going to put up another quicky greenhouse, the little woman wants a whole lot of hanging fuchsia plants and ready set flowering plants and this build will be perfect, have fun ya'll, and keep growing.
This build was awesome to watch, thank you for sharing! I just started my own compost bin about a month ago, it's just in a barrel right now but once I move I'd like to build a bin out of pallets. Maybe one day I'll build my own green house, too!
I want to build a compost bin also, but it seems like everything just goes to the chickens. LOL I am glad you enjoy our video, Thanks for watching.
beautiful Mine is built with a Tempo just had to all put plastic over it an brace everything but love this one you make here great ideas also
Great 👍 Job!!! It’s a nice big green house. I hope it brings you great veggies and flowers.
Thank You
This is a great idea and thanks for sharing!
Really good idea...I've been wanting to make a greenhouse before this next winter and have access to as many pallets as I need....timing couldn't be better on this...thanks for sharing....
Your welcome. I do enjoy mine. Cheers
You did an awesome job! It's so sturdy. Can't wait to copy your idea. 😄
What a cool idea! I like it.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to build and the one to teach.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Excellent job my friend, well done all the best from Scotland 🏴
Thank You.
that turned out lovely....
Wow! Over a million views with 12.8K subscribers. The greenhouse ended up looking much nicer than I thought it would.
Thank you.
Very nice. My husband made a round pallet fence to hold our chickens, ducks, and one rabbit. But I think it's gonna be too hot for them. I dare not tell my husband to move it to a shadier location. Instead I'm gonna suggest he turn it into a green house and move our animals to a different, more shady location. Great work !! Thanks for sharing.
That's a very accommodating recommendation. You get to appreciate his hard work and re purpose your pallet fence without tearing it down and rebuilding somewhere else. Kudos to thinking of alternatives.
great work and labor of love. thrilled you used recycled materials. Plants look fabulous inside. I love the same blue bags...
so neat and easy on the eyes. uniformed bags with same color looks so professionally done 🤗🙂
Thank you. I love your comment, Thanks for watching.
The best assistant ever!!! Looks good!🌻🐝🍯
Thank You, She loves to harvest what we grow.
I like the idea of using the palettes? I think it would be easy to insulate them before wrapping. What a great idea! And it looks nice too! Thanks for sharing!
You are not the first to mention insulating the pallets. I may do that when I move it.Thanks for watching.
How would you insulate them?
I insulated my sheep shed with heavy duty construction bags filled with enough hay to shove the bags in between the slats. It rain proofed the shed be and the hay and straw in the bags had a lot of sheep poop mixed in and the sheep never tried to eat it.. the wind eventually blew the structure down but it was Spring by then.
When I realised what you were going to do I thought oh no! but it turned out awesome.
LOL, Thank you.
Thank you for making this video. I'm looking to start going to a local store which gives out free pallets so I'll definitely start gathering them up to use for this sort of project. The way that you do it makes it look so much easier than if I were to go with my idea of disassembling the pallets, which runs the risk of breaking them. This way, they're functional, and the best part - because I know my roommate won't be on board with this, I can cover up the fact that they are pallets by adding siding to the outside of the walls and then nobody would even know what it's made of but me - and whoever I decide to invite inside. Maybe I'll even make a pallet floor, clean up the inevitable sad bits, and add some insulation and a floor someday and it'll be my tiny house. I'm not sure. It sounds fun. And spending the night out there every so often couldn't hurt. Again, thanks for the video. I can't wait to get started on this future project. Best to all.
Thanks for watching. I have strated colecting metal siding for mine also. Hope you can gather all the supplies and get yours started.
Great job! I was amazed.
Hi it's so wonderful to revisit and tell you my story Your project was so inspirational that I just collected pallets, double glazed doors from my redevelopment project and now I am going to build green house with it.
I am from UK and I need idea how to keep optimum temperature as I am thinking of growing finger limes and warm climate crops / fruits in it all year round.
I am looking at the possibility of using solar water heater but already had moans from the companies- it can't be done. I already have solar water panel on my wall giving 24/7 hot water without gas/electricity and i want similar to the green house but for heating. And can't word is not in my vocabulary. you or your subscribers come up with the idea, I would be grateful to hear it.
thanks again for inspiration...
Thank you for sharing your story, I love it. Since I live in
Alaska I am not going to even try to heat my greenhouse we can get down to
-30F/-34C in the winter. Not sure of
your Latitude or how long the sun is up but I have seen a solar heater made from
soda/pop cans but that will not work at night. There is a rocket mass stove,
but you would need to feed the stove wood. Using black poly tube coiled up with
compost on top of it, used to heat water for a thermal heat mass. The most costly
(money and work) would be an earth battery but a power source is needed to run
the fans. Hope some of these ideas give you some ideas. Thanks again for
sharing your story.
Kudos for designing and building your own!
My ex and I argued for years about greenhouses, and after the divorce, I was free to do as I chose. This summer, I hope to build my 7th greenhouse.
My first house was 12' x 24', and was built over 2 green hemlock raised beds. I used a jig to bend 3/4" EMT for the bows...still standing after 9 Maine winters.Total cost, including skin was $250.
Over time, I figured out ways to all but eliminate wood, and I started using fencing top-rail (and a hoop bender) for the hoops, and line post to set them.
The 2 biggest houses were 12' x 60' and the only wood was for the door frames. They were for an ambitious school garden project, and the cost was just under $1.000 each (about half of a kit cost).
It's great to see people doing stuff!
Very cool. I plan on building another one this summer.
Paul Drowns please consider making a video to share the valuable insight u picked up along the way 👍
At the start I was mind blown but at the end I was like what an awesome easy cheap project. Good job champ
Absolutely brilliant
Where ever you live must be laid back. My town wouldn't allow this level of awesome...government bureaucracy at it's finest.
Alaska, Thank for watching
If its touching the ground, it wont last too long.
I found that to be the case using pallets for my composting bed wall
By level of awesome....you mean they won't allow you to build a big wooden trash pile in your backyard? I can understand that... If i were your neighbors and i saw you doing that crap i'd turn it in on the count of it being an eyesore....
@@draggy76 yet you are the trash..
Looking good. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Awesome Job!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Loved your project, I have a massive garden, I need a green house you have answered my prayers, ( I have lots of pallets) 👍your are a 🌟✅
Americans....Have always an creative projects and making wastes fully useful, my respect to you all...
Stumbled upon this exactly 2yrs later lol Memorial Day weekend lol
Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment.
Well done for figure as you go. Thanks for sharing.
Great work on the green house. 👏👍😊
A the start of the video I thought, oh dear, by the end I thought not bad at all, well done !
You are not the first to say that. Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting. I am going to follow along to see how everything turns out! I laughed out loud when she said "is it done....oh???" funny!
Cool stuff so far!
Chuck
Thanks, Chuck. 3 weeks ago we moved so the greenhouse will be moving also once it is not frozen to the ground and I have time to take it apart. Thanks for watching.
Checked out your trailer and subbed.
Fensterfarm Greenhouse same, i snorted really loud ha ha!
Fensterfarm Greenhous
It's a really awesome way maximize the space you have
Brilliant idea.High five✋
Nice pallet greenhouse! Don't worry about the paint since it will not be touching the plants. Maybe you can stuff straw between the pallet for insulation and cut down any wind drafts. Let us know how this working out for you at your new place. Cheers
Linda Readman that's a great idea! Maybe make it cob.
Linda Readman that's a great idea! Maybe make it cob.
looks great!
Thank you.
AWESOME job!
Very cool. I love the pallet idea.
Thank you.
Great idea!
Thank you
Exactly 2 years later!! How creative. 5-27-19
So cool Thanks for watching.
Awesome re-purposing Bro! Good job all around & shine on
Thank you.
its a great idea , i did not think making a green house out pallets , but look like a project now , thanks
Wade Rue thank for watching and commenting.
I love this idea! I plan on building a chicken coop this style as well. I will be making videos as I go as well. 😊
Loved the interruption haha made me laugh pretty good.
This is such an awesome end result!
Thank you. Look forward to your build.
Rustic By Nature this is a great video awesome work...
Thank you.
@@RusticByNature It's a pleasure you Rock
This was perfect for the use of you small yard space!
Thank you.
Awesome build! I'm going to have try that! Mine will be smaller...but wow! You inspired me! Thank you.
Watching this on Memorial Day weekend 2 years later!
Me too... Didn't even do it on purpose. RUclips recommendations and all.
I was wondering why the big jump in views and comments, Thanks for watching.
Thank you for watching.
Just found your channel this is a cool build
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Already plannin next years garden.
Love ~Love~Love~
FAN BLOODY TASTIC Well done
Thanks
It would have been nice if you'd shown the rain gutter grow system and explained how it worked.
Then he could be arrested have his greenhouse removed and his whole thing shut down as collecting rainwater (in most of the US) is illegal, even if it's collecting it to use for gardening.
You can watch on You Tube Mike Vanduzzy. He even shows how to make a pvc rain gutter GROW system using pool noodles instead of net cups!
@@draggy76 He was talking about pvc rain gutter GROW system. Check out Mike Vanduzzy on You Tube
@@draggy76 The usa will never make sence to me. I keep hearing americans call Scandinavia a socialist hellhole with no freedom but... hell we can collect water as we bloody well please atleast.
@@draggy76 Really? that's weird.
NICE !
Thank you
You did an awesome job! thanks for sharing this wonderful idea.👏👍
Thank You
Looks GREAT. NICE JOB!
Great idea, however if you set it directly on the ground, you're inviting rot and termites.
I enjoyed the video. Great idea for a green house. Nice job. With 4 people yould would be able to finish the green house in 1 day.
Absolutely fantastic 💗
Such a great build
Thank you
Rustic by Nature: I used pallets for my "composting" walls and I found that after a year, they showed good deal of decay and deterioration. Perhaps your greenhouse will hold up better because it will not get rained on. My concern is that your pallets touch the ground and that is where I found the most decay because there was no insulating or protective barrier. After all the work you put into this project how has it held up in the last year?
By the way, it looks great. I like the benches raised off the floor.
For future information, its called a "top plate". 😁😁😁😁 Great idea using ratchet straps.
LOL Thank you.
I like this!! looking forward to more of your projects
Love it , your greenhouse turned out great , I’ll be doing it this way for my extension on my own greenhouse 👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cool. Thanks for watching.
This is a an awesome build! Thank you for sharing! How did it do for you grow wise the first season? Did you get a decent harvest?
Thanks for watching. I feel it was decent harvest but could have been a lot better. It took so long to get this built that by the time I had everything in it more than half the summer was gone.
I was pretty skeptical when I saw how you attached the top 2x4's and the little brackets. But now it looks good especially the ribbing. I'm curious about how you will regulate the temperature once the door is attached? By the way, how do your neighbors feel about it? Is there any room left for the kids and dogs to play, lol?
Thank you for your comment. I have moved and we also moved the greenhouse since posted this video. Last summer it got to hot even with the windows i had in it. Our new place is almost 4 areas with lots of trees, no worries about my neighbors.
Awesome! Even material list! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching.
This is a GREAT video! Very informative. Thanks for showing the entire greenhouse, including dimensions! I will build one of these soon.
Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun build.
Awesome work!! I don’t get those 176 dislikes. People are so weird sometimes.
Yes, a lot of weird people in the world. Thanks for watching.
INSTACRUISING I agree people are stupid . I believe the ones that dislike wonderful videos like this , sit on their asses all day and don’t know how to have a good time with themselves and their families . And support their families !!!
Thank you I'm going to build me one how do you heat itt
I’m glad I inspired you. I live in Alaska where the winter temperature can get to -30 so I don’t worry about heating it. I use it to extend the growing season and to keep it warner during the summer when the temps are around 65 degrees all summer. This summer though has been a little different due to the extreme heat we have had. Its been in the 80s and 90s. When it gets into the upper 70s most Alaskans start complaining it’s too hot. lol
Great way to use pallets for a solid base structure . Thinking you could bracket the internal corners if you needed extra support . Well done and a great little presentation 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
Thank you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!!! I absolutely loved what and how you did it. I shall use many of your ideas (with some tweacking) to build my green houses.
Thank you. Enjoy your build and show us.
"huh. A pallet greenhouse in a little suburban neighborhood? How'd he get permission for that?"
"Ohhhh, he lives in Alaska."
LOL Thanks
Yeah... Alaska is like.... the opposite end of Florida for the US... No one gives a shit about it and kinda just keeps it around for its revenue of landscape. If it weren't for that and it's tactical advantage we wouldn't give two shits about that god forsaken place.
@Time4Truth Obviously not. I agree. It's stunningly beautiful!
So it's cold in winter & has a short growing season. It also has great people & maybe the best fishing anywhere - or used to.
Sheesh...What a dumb & pointless remark.
I'm not a big fan of Florida, but it has it's own kind of beauty & value.
Too bad it'll be swallowed up by rising oceans though. That's sure gonna be a disaster once thousands of miles of roads & buildings going up the coasts around the world, end up getting submerged.
I feel so bad for sea creatures already, with so much plastic, spilled oil & dumped barrels of toxic chemicals dumped by industries, decades ago, now rusting out.
Sorry for the doom & gloom...
Lovely greenhouse..
@@cherylanderson3340 roads and buildings getting submerged. LMAO!
@@joeincogno265 How old are you? I've seen the coastlines changing in my lifetime & now Arctic melt, & loss of snow cover on the Himalayans & other areas has accelerated. All that water has to go somewhere.
At the same time available fresh water for humans, livestock & other human activity is diminishing. If we could build more desalination plants around the globe, maybe we could strike a balance. Unfortunately, the process is very costly, & at this point, requires using fossil fuels, & most oceans are polluted with plastics & nuclear plants jlike Fukushima just keep dumping their radioactive nuclear waste in the oceans, & deadly, often radioactive fracking fluids keeps seeping into groundwater, destroying our limited potable water, in order to to try to capture more natural gas.
So - we need more people paying attention to how our global resources are being used. Denial, or ignorance is part of the problem. By burning so much fossil fuel, there's more CO2 in our atmosphere. We breathe oxygen & exhale CO2. Left in an airtight room, eventually all the available oxygen would be converted to CO2 - even if there's just one person in the room. It's just a fact.
Look at coastline maps. Research parts of the world where people have had to leave their homes & relocate. Look at houses falling into the sea as the coastline has encroached so much in other areas, people dare not stay in their homes during hurricanes.
Look at ancient maps & you'll see the way the continents used to look. We live on a volatile planet, & the climates have ever been changing, but now we're able to see how our use of fossil fuels, plus the fact that there are now around 7 Billion people on the planet, & we've been clearing trees so we can build cities & factories & roadways & there are greedy people clearing out the rainforest which we must slow down - to preserve the kind of atmosphere we need, to continue to have rain water in the way we've always had it as long as humans roamed this planet...
Human greed will end life on this earth as we know it & our govt & other govts are letting it happen. Maybe the Billionaires don't feel rich enough yet. Then there are those who believe these are "The End Times", so don't care about trying to manage our resources for future generations, since they think that god will be taking them up to heaven & they don't care if the greedy industrialists destroy every single beautiful landscape & every tree & every reservoir of fresh, clean water.
It's our complacency which allows them to destroy this planet.
That looks really good. I am in USDA growing zone 7 and I keep lettuce and spinach going through the winter in my unheated greenhouse. You have electricity in there, right? On coldest days I have to cover them further in the greenhouse.
Thank you, I'm in zone 4. I do have electricity in there but I don't heat it. Thanks for watching.
Carlota Chmielewski that is really awesome you can grow those in winter,i really need a greenhouse!
Great build. Awesome job.
Very nice! Great job!
