It's a greenhouse - or will be


I've wanted a greenhouse but couldn't really justify the expense. When I saw this one a few weeks ago on a University of North Carolina web site I decided to try it. A greenhouse made of PVC pipes. It has a steel conduit through the ridge piece that solves the problem with the PVC concept. We got this much done today and might possibly finish tomorrow. The shade cloth is just sitting there for the picture and it's off again now. The next steps are to frame both ends, including doors, and then add the shade cloth and the plastic film. Then I'll put a plastic ground cover in and around it. Total cost <$300. Then I'll find out how much I really want/need a greenhouse!
