they used to have a bunch over at gardenweb..
but they were the small houses..
yur gonna need a biggen for those tall bananas.. :D

i looked at plans but they wanted $$'s for them..

so i checked around and looked at a bunch of pics and then decided
what i wanted.
i then kinda drew out the dimesnsions and got the wood to built it..

with a little help from my nephew and son we threw up what i have now..

of course i live in the country where looks are mute..
but mine doesn't look all that bad really.. kinda 4 walls and a roof with plastic thrown over it..

i decided all i needed was a frame for the plastic, so wal la done..

my best advice is to build it 2 x's bigger than what yur thinking.. this is my 3rd go around with a gh and each time the reason to redo it was for larger space..

i did a google on homemade green house and wished i had found this one.

i like the gothic look but walls aren't really what i needed for the bananas..
