I'm sure many of you know of this place, but for you who don't, I'll tell you it is loaded with step by step projects from baking, to electronics to gardening.

I searched greenhouse because my wife, and I have thought about building a small one lately.

This is what I found, and this is what she wants.

Geezer,

Glad I could help, they have many other designs, but price wise and what we need in size it will be fine for us. Quick and easy too.
 

One of my sons built a greenhouse like that last year. He built it on a small, flatbed trailer and it worked just fine. Looked like an old west covered wagon. What was nice about it is he could move it around easily.

Your son had a great idea. Did he ever have problems with the wind? I imagine they would be very light, so I thought about bending 4 pieces of re-bar about 10-12" long into hooks, then driving them on all for corners, like tent post's.

I absolutely love that website, all kinds of tips on projects. I figure TexasTee will like it as well, with all her gardening, farming, and various projects. Then again, with all her knowledge, she may already know about it. :wink:
 

No wind problems although we had some pretty strong winds on occasion. He used heavy plastic and where he used cable ties (tie wraps) to secure the plastic to the pvc pipes, he reinforced with gorilla tape. (It's kinda like duct tape but a little stronger)
