Simple Greenhouse - 1/2 inch EMT and fence wire

Here is my simple greenhouse. The frame doubles as a trellis for cucumbers and other climbers.
(here is a link to a picture of the frame by itself)


The door can be propped open half or all the way when the sun is out...

A look inside....


The frame is made from four pieces of 1.5 EMT and 5' wire fence. Each frame is 5' long which is convenient since EMT is available in 10' sticks. The plastic is 10' wide, cut into a perfect square. I used 3 grommets along each side, and use mini bungees to hold the cover to the frame. If it gets really cold, I use a 100 watt light bulb in a spun metal fixture as a heater.

  1. It don't exist. It needs to be in that centennial encyclopedia that people are writing about Oklahoma otherwise it will be lost to history. Why the heck do we call them steeples? No, "we just do" don't cut it.wood fence panels for sale
