Building a Tiny Cabin out of a Cheap Greenhouse | Cabin Build Series Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 дек 2023
- I purchased a cheap greenhouse from Harbor Freight to make into a tiny cabin. I plan on making major upgrades and documenting my progress. In Part 1 I build the cabin and stay the night. The temps were in the 30F (0C) I heat the cabin with a propane heater. It reached upwards of 55F (11C) The cabin will eventually have a wood stove inside and many more upgrades.

Neat project! You could call it the "Baum Shelter" 😱
Pretty clever name! 👍🏻
That's great!! My wife said the same thing!!
@@BaumOutdoors good job shelby👍🏻💕
@@BaumOutdoors I can see you making a nice wooden plaque to attach to the sliding door. This is going to be a fun project to watch. Looking forward to seeing all the upgrades.
Great name!
At night your cabin looks like a lantern😊.
The lantern cabin! Lol
Its the Baum shelter 😂😄👌🏾 great video buddy 👍🏾
😂 I like it!! Thank you!!
Putting that together by yourself while it was raining is a task in itself. Nice meal.
I like "The Baum Shack". Great project
I like that too!
Beware of the snow load. My greenhouse is the larger size of the same unit.
Last winter it was crushed by a wet heavy snow storm.
Enjoy it, maybe add a middle support post that you can install for winter snows
Very good tip! Thank you for this. I will keep an eye on it.
Could call it Baum Campin. Like Gone Campin. Lol. Love this little cabin. So much fun for the family. Enjoy and God bless you all.
Thank you! That’s a good one. Always campin lol
I like Crystal Cabin a LOT! or Cozy Cabin. Or Kenny's Dream! But I was a little concerned about how secure it'll be in windy storms. Maybe you could stake it down? Put some long rods through the wood frame? For the stove, maybe put it in the corner by the door so you have room for your bed and table? Put your bed along the short wall so you have plenty of room for your cooking station?
All great ideas! I was planning on getting some rebar and putting it through the wood frame. Definitely want to do that! Thank you for the suggestions!!
It’s so amazing to watch a fellow Christian! My husband and I definitely enjoy watching your videos and we always pray along with you! 🙏
So happy to hear this! Thank you for your encouragement 😊😊
With a diesel heater, you can put the exhaust under the frame though the dirt. I've done it that way while camping in a tent. The dirt will act as an insulator against the heat o0f the exhaust pipe as long as you get it at least an inch under the ground.
Funny you say this! I was just telling my wife the same thing last night! I think that's what I'll do!! Thank you!!
@@BaumOutdoors It should be a separate pipe that takes clean cool air and warms from the other pipe by heat transfer or from your heat source, if touching, the clean air will heat up and continue into your cabin. The clean air pipe should be separate from the exhaust.
I live on a heavily wooded three acre lot, with my house in the upper third of the property. Surrounding me is a nature reserve and a reservoir preserve, so we can't see our neighbors from the backyard area. Since 2004, I've wanted to build either a detached screen porch or mini-cabin in the forested area near our border with the preserve. Using the prefab greenhouse you show in this video is the ultimate solution. The potential modifications are endless. I want to make a hybrid four-season woods cabin with a small wood-burning stove for the snowstorms and winter camping. I can make frames with screen panels to swap out in summer. It can be built enough away, so we can barely see our house, but close enough for WIFI and an extension cord for a couple outlets to charge devices and some 110 volt LED lights with a transformer. Thanks for posting this. Keep up the good work!
Those are great ideas!! I like the idea of the screen panels for summer!! There are so many possibilities. You'll have to keep me updated when you build it!
@@BaumOutdoors Will do. I just mentioned it to my wife when she got home and she was totally into the idea.
The Backyard Bungalow😋😛😜
That’s a good one!
Sky Lounge Cabin!!! 👏🏻👏🏻
I like it!!
The Baum Cave. Looks awesome
I like it!! Thank you, I can't wait to work on it again soon!
“Baum Winter Shelter”! Seems fitting. RUclips did not send me a notification that you had a video up. It came across my feed. I went to double check to make sure I didn’t over look it and I did not.
Like it! Ya, RUclips is not super notification friendly these days. It’s a whole other problem. Glad you found the video!
It would be amazing if you turned it into a small log cabin. Have that rustic look. And make your shingles out of cedar. Can't wait to see it finished.
Great ideas! Will definitely see what I can do! Maybe some tongue and groove 👍
I wish the weather was better for you, what a trooper 🎉
It just snowed! But now it’s melting again.. ugh
Fun cabin
Thank you! I really had fun with it!!
Hi Kenny, great little project there. You have a lot of ground there. Maybe you could call the cabin the Baum Bunkhouse. At least with clear panels you will see the bears coming. Just kidding.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless you son.
John from Canada
Gotta have a clear view of the bears haha! Thanks John!
I saw another RUclips channel w/that same greenhouse - during a rain wind storm it blew many of the panels off from the roof and sides. You might secure the panels in someway, even if you replace w/something different. I suggest securing roof first & making sure it’s water proof or everything else you do might be ruined with weather.
Definitely will be securing everything!
Love it! This is the best home for the duck lamp!
The Crystal cabin!
Yes!
Another great video! Have tried to cook another giant cookie yet? Blessings Baum Family ❤
Thank you! I need to make another giant cookie! I’ll do that next 😂😊
BTW we look forward to each and every one of your videos
So glad you enjoy them!! More to come!
We are still only half way through this video, but had to stop and tell you (as well as get an ice cream snack😂) that this is a CLEVER IDEA! We really enjoy what you come up with! Looking forward to new changes in “Kenny’s Cabin” as you move forward, taking care of issues as they arise…BTW: we are getting a lot of snow in North Idaho right now. If we are gettin’ it you are gettin’ it too! Blessings to you and your sweet family Kenny…
Thank you!! We got the snow as well! I’ve been checking on the cabin and it is holding up. Thankfully lol it held 4 inches of wet snow last night. Not sure it could have taken more haha we will be adding some supports! Thank you for joining me! God bless you!
The Cozy Shelter House !
Gonna be real cozy!
I love this idea. I have one in my back yard that is full of gardening stuff. Good idea to put a floor in it. i get a lot of mice living in mine. Maybe the Poly-Cabin.
Ya, we have a lot of mice out here too so I think a floor is a necessity! Looking forward to working on it again soon!
A great idea is to install some weather and mold proof curtains. That way you can close and open them. It will also give you a soft, more comfy feel, plus privacy when you want it. You can change clothes or whatever.
That’s a great idea!!
Good morning! love your little baum homestead cabin! So cool! Great idea. Your kids are going to love it too..Camping out in back yard. Nice project you got going there! Look forward to watching it's completion. Nice job Kenny! See you soon on the next one! Byeeee! 🖐🏻😋🌲🤍
Thank you!! I had a lot of fun building it and can't wait for the next step!! The kids are already looking forward to camping in it too! Hope you are having a blessed weekend. God bless!
@@BaumOutdoors you and the family have a terrific weekend! God bless you all
The Man Pad
That's great!! Thank you!!
The air running through the cabin due to air gaps cures the condensation issue
Great point! I was really surprised there wasn't more condensation
The Greenhouse Tent.
Not-so-green house.
You built it with your own two hands - just when I was thinking about asking our Lord to put you in octopus mode! 😁
Your supper looked great!!!
Haha!! I could have used octopus mode in several spots 😂😂. That’s funny!! God bless!
I'm all for a series on this sweet little greenhouse 😊
Yay!! So glad you are! It’s gonna be fun 😊
I like “Baum Shelter”.
Me too!
I think you should call your first cabin as the : Kenny's Cabin !
That’s a great idea!!
Keep it simple, Greenhouse Cabin. I like that.
I like it too!
Hi 🖐 🤝. Good. Job , Kenny ! 😃. 🙂🙂 , Thanks for sharing your video !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so cute Nd. Cozy cabin! 🇦🇹😎 Take care 🙏 God bless
Thank you! It’s a cozy little cabin haha God bless!
Kenny, like your cabin. If I had one I bet it would be a greenhouse though. That's my hobby. LOL
I really had fun with this one!! You could have the best of both worlds! Plants and camping!! God bless 😊
Awesome my brother I really
like your
Lexan (acyrlic) Cave. I'm sure this series will be really cool... Say hello to my friend ShelbyBaum, and god bless you and your beautiful family.
Thanks Gil! I like that name too! Hope you are having a blessed weekend my friend!
@@BaumOutdoors indeed I am brother. Just remember to say hello to my friend ShelbyBaum. 😂🤣😅👍 Thank you for the video brother...
I would connect 2 of the green houses together and make it longer , your meal and prayers always keep me lifted 😊 . Btw I d call it baum getaway ❤
Thought about that!! Maybe in the future!
The clear view cabin
Love it!! That’s a good one!
You can run an extension chord and use an electric heater will help with the condensation trouble and doesn't need to be vented.
I just might have to do that!
Just got the notification.
I'll like the video first then watch it lol
GOD bless 🙏
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! God bless ☺
Clear Cabin sounds good
I like it too!
Cool project!! I like the suggested name, "Baum Shelter"! Your videos are a real blessing to watch! You're so much fun! Be well and stay safe! Blessings!
Thank you! I like that name as well! Gonna be a fun project 😊
First:

Baum Builders: with a Christian flair:
Thanks Jen!! Hope you are having a good weekend. God bless!
You could call it Baum House Cabin, or the Wiley House.
Wiley would love that lol
Hello Kenny i like the name Cristal cabin interesting project very good so far god bless you and you beautiful family 😊
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this!! We pray you are having a wonderful weekend!
Hi again Kenny. I love this unique idea. The name I came up with sounds like a 5* place,,,,,The Sky View Chalet. Wish I lived close to hang out with ya as we love camping under the stars here in Alabama!!! Gods Peace!~
I really like that name!! It really is a very cozy little cabin! God bless my friend!
The buddy heater will get everything in the herpe hut damp in the right conditions.
😂😂
Call it the Baum's Clearview Cabin. Great video.
I like that! Thanks!
You're welcome
Kenny the little cabin is neat.
Thank you! It was really fun to build!
You could call it Baum's Folly hahaha!
😂 That's great!!
Hi Kenny that’s Awesome and Amazing I wonder if it can stand the winter Call it Kenny Cabin in the wood land😊
We are gonna find out! Had snow last night and it is still standing! Had about 4” of wet snow. We will see what happens 😂
The Glass Palace!
That’s great! You don’t have to get out of bed to make coffee! I am going to get one on my nightstand!!! Ha ha love it!!!
I’ll tell you a secret, this has been on my nightstand at home for the last couple of months! Roll over, push a button, fresh cup of coffee in bed!! Yes 💪
I can't wait to see the finish project.
I can’t wait to get started working on it again!!
The Perspex Paradise.
Like it!!
When you said you were going to build something on the backyard. I thought it was a log cabin. The green house have a lot of potential. ❤❤ I like the clear cabin
That would be cool to build too! Maybe someday!! God bless!
Hi Kenny , Love the MANCAVE . Looking forward to see all you do to it. I hope You and your family enjoy rest of weekend . Many Blessings !
Thank you! I’m excited to see how it turns out!
Something so simple brings so much joy. I would feel the same way. Excited to see the cozy modifications you make. Stay safe, warm and dry. Still thinking of a name! Hmm.
Thank you! It really is crazy how such a simple thing can bring so much joy lol God bless!
Sunny side ❤
I like it!! Great description for it!!
Slick Kenny. Who would of thunk? I tried not to chuckle a few times but it just came out anyway. It's gonna be awesome to see how your creative juices flow over time. I have never seen this done before. Way to think outside of the box Brother. It's the doghouse where you get banished to by Shelby and kids for getting on their nerves...LOL Just kidding. This has been a fun one.
Haha!! It’s gonna be a fun project!! The dog house for sure sometimes haha excited to work on it some more!
I love the little cabin.
Thank you!! This was a really fun project! I can't wait for the next phase!
This was a neat idea Mr Baum, can't wait to see what you do with this project in the future.!!
Thank you! I can’t wait either!! God bless!
Love your new build kenny...
Very unusual....enjoy more time inside. God bless...
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it! God bless 😊
Kenny, setting that up must have been a PANE.😂. Nice dinner. Were those gunshots at the beginning of the video? The condensation is just like your car window. The heat acts like a defroster. Looking forward to the next phase. God Bless.😊
It was a challenge for sure! Lots of tough moments lol yes that was a neighbor target practicing! Thanks for joining me my friend!
Little cabin on the garden
That’s got a good ring to it!
The transparent cabin. Needs Christmas 🎄 lights.
Yes it does!! Can’t wait to decorate lol
Call it the Baum (bomb) Shelter!
😂 I like it!
Yes clear cabin is good funny guy
LOL!
Call it the crystal cabin...... like the crystal cathedral.
I like that!!
What a fun project! Gotta love Harbor Freight 😊 It will be fun to do a night in there when we have more snow I bet. I'm looking forward to future videos in here. Have a great week Kenny!
Haha yup gotta love Harbor freight! I’m excited to start the next project 😊 have a wonderful week!
Loving the FISHBOWL of a cabin!
😂 That's a great name!
Hmm I think I found a greenhouse for my mother. $380 is pricey but love the size. Thanks. Maybe get the foam insulation boards to put inside.
Yes!! Get it on sale and wait for the coupon! Foam insulation board is a must!
The Glass Shack
Nice!!
19:11 Amen!
View cabin 🤔
The view cabin! Haha like it!
Hi Kenny, awesome video. Really enjoying it so far…. I like the name Diamond Cabin
Ohh I like that too!!
Baum shelter.... Lol
It's the Baum!
Love it!
My two cents... put skids under the two long sides and brace the space in between, so you can move it around.
That’s a great idea! Thank you!
Camping in the greenhouse, u unique, buddy! Bless you ❤
With this "baum shelter" I see lots of fun fun fun to be had. Do a little work at a time so you don't stress yourself out and give up on it.
This is a pretty cool idea Kenny.
You can fix up the outside also. With a cool looking firepit and all that awesome stuff, lol.
Thank you Kenny for being so awesome for bringing us along on your adventures and for all the hard work and time you put into your videos. You're simply amazing.
STAY AWESOME
KEEP
ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
🤗HUGS🤗
Great idea! The winds in Nevada would take that structure down in a second but I do like the idea of it.
Hopefully I don’t have that issue lol guess we will find out!
❤wow make a great tiny house on wheels
Yea it does!
God bless you and family Kenny! Love the cabin. 😊
God bless Janet! I had a lot of fun with this! Can’t wait to get back out there to work on it again!
The Townhouse
Call it Tranquility Base!
That's a great name! Definitely peaceful out there!
I like the ASMR of the video. Fun to watch.
Of course you had to cook. Butter and veggies = yum.
Aww, thanks for the shout-out. 😁😁 Made my afternoon.
Baum Family Hideaway

Thank you!! I’m having fun with it! God bless 😊
Cabin of Eden
Nice!!
I ❤ it. Baum Shelter!! Good idea.
Thanks Sheila!! I’m having a lot of fun with it!
I like The Garden Ghetto
😂😂 that’s a good one LOL
The baum experience lol
lol! I like that!!
For the diesel heater , I would just cut a hole on one of the bottom panels and run the hose thru that , I’d also say share the chimney hole your going to cut out for your wood stove and just switch back and forth that way . I am actually planning to pick up a planar diesel heater myself for my tent camping . Def planning to do some winter camping . Watching your videos makes me want to go out every weekend lol.
I like those ideas!! It would definitely eliminate leaking panels!!
Very Nice!!!👍♥️
Thanks!
You could use some of that bubble foil to insulate some parts of it, and leave some other parts uncovered for windows.
The Rapture Shack!
That’s a good one!
Baums backyard Bonanza.
Good one!
