How can I Build a Greenhouse?

Here is a DIY idea for you to build a greenhouse at home.

• Gather old or recycled tempered safety glass windows. This is because the standard kind can easily break apart.

• Begin to make the foundation of your greenhouse with the old windows.

• Pick the windows which are the same in size. Place them on the ground and then arrange them into four sections. These will make up the four walls of the greenhouse. Remember to leave openings for the door and a fan, if needed.

• You can get help from a family member or a friend to raise the sections on top of the foundation.

• Grab paint to paint the wood and use a sealant to cover any cracks or gaps that may exist.

• Now, slant the roof so weather elements, like snow or rain, won’t hamper it. I would advise you to choose a waterproof and light material for the roof.

There you go, the greenhouse is all set and done. If needed, you can consult an expert to construct your greenhouse for accuracy.

1. Make sure the area is level and easily accessible for maintenance and watering.

2. Then, decide the size and design of the greenhouse, whether you want a  small backyard structure or a larger freestanding unit.

4. Construct the frame of the greenhouse. Most popularly used materials are wood or metal. 

5. Once the frame is ready, cover the frame with glass, polycarbonate panels, or greenhouse film. Even with the covering, the greenhouse should get plenty of sunlight while providing insulation. 

6. Finally, install proper ventilation systems like windows, vents, or fans to regulate temperature and humidity.
