Green house suggestions

[Gingerbeard]

You... there's a... bloody hell, man! There's a greenhouse on top of your house! I cannot think of a more obvious place to grow weed and tell the world you are. One great big F-U to people who don't dig it. You get a thumb because I don't think I've seen anything even close to that inventive, location-wise. I mean, it's just plastic and sticks... but it's on your freaking roof!
Well done, my friend. Well done.

I,ve bought a few things from them. No problems. Same stuff as big stores only cheaper.

TEMU itself is legit but I've heard of scams lately where the scammers are pretending to be TEMU or some other online company. So many scams.

Got the cover on today. Come on spring

If you didnt get the memo, a older hippie is suppose to go with the green house.

Can you show what you did to sturdy it up?

Your plastic needs to be fastened tight along the bottom. Polylocks or PT 2x6 fasten along bottom and hammer tacked every 3-4" with reinforcing tape. Agricultural supply, not Lowes.

Great! Thanks, looking at pics better and your comment I now get it.

I built a greenhouse out of an old carport tent. Used some welded wire fencing to wrap around it and add the plastic.

Finally got everything tied down tight, think I'm ready for the wind and thunderstorms. Used a different kind of anchor this time that screws into the ground easily and holds better than a stake. Love them, I believe they are similar to what Gator mentioned. Love how easy they were to install, better than beating a stake in the ground with a sledgehammer. Got the cover secured to bottom as well. Now just have to wait another month to put plants in it. Getting very impatient.

Those anchors look pretty strong. The corkscrew dog anchor things are not.

That's a bummer but at least it's still in one piece and didn't blow into the next county. These are the anchors the greenhouse came with. Worthless! Maybe they'll work for stringing out a new raised bed idea I have for a summer project.

Ready for war!!! Lookkng good, I think i am going to get that brand and follow your build

Does the color matter? Green, white? I am thinking of growing close to my neighbors yard in the back of my yard to get the most sun and wondering if different color would make it harder to know whats in it. But that my mean nothing once they get stinky

Go clear and build a screen between your neighbours and the greenhouse.

Green does a good job of obscuring the view of what's inside. You can see that they're plants, but you can't see what kind of plants. Look in the windows.

The other pic is to show that it works. It can get pretty hot inside, and strong wind is always a threat.

 

[Orggrwr]

The clear does a good job of obscuring what kind of plants are inside also. Especially if you have other kinds of plants in it.

Finally got the greenhouse, the price had already gone up so figured might as well pull the trigger

Oh cool. You could increase the ceiling height with a small wall around the perimeter under the walls if you need a bit more height.
