    Default Cheap and Easy Greenhouse


    Bet I don't have but $75-80 in the whole thing and $50 of that was in 6 mil sheet Plastic. It's 5 1/2x5 1/2 by 10 1/2. Well, The fronts 5' and that back heights 6' for the water to drain off the roof. Pretty easy with a PVC frame and joints.

    That'll work, if you get a lot of sunshine that pvc may not hold up but it will do for a while. If not in the sun it should do fine.

    Why would it not hold up? It's 3/4" PVC pipe. I can dismantle it this coming spring and store it, then next winter, reassemble and I'm good to go. Should last several years. If I need it taller or wider, I can change out the runners and make it whatever size I need. It took all of 1 1/2 hours to cut and put together

    the heat from the sun will warp, not telling you what I think telling you what I know, went through it not long ago. Like I said if its not in the direct sunshine all day it will do better, if its in the direct sunshine all day it will warp. Maybe with it being winter time it will do better, mine did this in the summer and was in direct sun most of the day, used at least 1 1/2 inch stuff too.

    Shouldn't warp to bad. I don't have any length of pipe before another coupling that's longer than 3 feet cept the ones running up and down. ALL my runners are 3 feet or shorter.
