A similar greenhouse can be built as a lean-to against one wall of your garage; OR a complete self-standing as shown. That greenhouse is light weight, but it has been though several hurricanes without damage ... as long as the poly is tight. But so what if the poly did blow-off in a high wind. It is easily replaced & repaired.



I don't know if you plant a garden but if you do .... the greenhouse can pay for itself by starting your own seeds/plants in the spring rather than paying $3 or more each plant at the big box stores; and sell or give plants to neighbors & relatives (the ones you like anyway).
That’s pretty cool! Now I honestly can say I hadn’t seen your picture of your greenhouse before! Cute little chicken! I’m so glad that I now have a couple of options for me next year! I didn’t know you could actually build your own heated greenhouse! I will have to go and check out milk heaters! Never heard of that either! Plus I am glad to hear that it can be done with spending 1,000’s of dollars! Thanks!
