Hog panel greenhouse...

9 years ago

Hey all...I have been lurking on this forum for a little while searching for GH ideas. I also looked on YouTube and found a guy (TexasPrepper 2) that builds a cattle panel greenhouse. I took his idea and came up with this.

We used to raise goats so I had tons of hog panels. We recently tore down our old deck and I replaced some exterior doors on our house. I also work in construction remodeling old buildings...so I have a lot of reclaimed / recycled materials. So far I have $0 invested in this greenhouse. I have a 20' x 100' 6-mil roll of plastic already for the cover.

It is 8'-4" x 21' +/-. It is close to 8' high in the middle. That is a 3068 door in the picture and it is held up 8" plus inches up off the ground. As you walk from front to back, the ground slopes away from the front, so it gets even taller toward the back.

I have not decided how much is going to be raised beds and how much is going to be tables for starting seeds. Probably a combination of both. If I run out of room...I will build a 2nd one next to it with raised beds in between.

Any suggestions on improvements or what I should do differently before I put the plastic on?
