- Building a greenhouse doesn't have to be hard or expensive! This build costs less than $200 bucks and it gives you 96 SQ FT! And since it is modular you can make it larger, or smaller depending on your needs and location! 3 cattle panels, roughly 56 ft in boards, one roll of tape, one roll of 20x20 greenhouse plastic, two hinges, one latch, some screws and staples and you are done! This can easily be built in one afternoon. You CAN DO it!! #flannelfarms #Greenhouse #Seeds #diy #Farming #homestead #family

I love the way you have shown us how to make a greenhouse so simply. Thanks for this Brain and all the rest of the Flannel Farms family!
Oh, I’d love one of those . If only my hubby was still here he would build one. Sure miss his help.
It is so hard when a spouse is lost. You don't even realize how much you get done because there are two of you. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Great editing. Nice greenhouse.
Awesome! Wish I had room for one like that so I could keep adding on. Building an 8x8 greenhouse in a few weeks.
I love it! We built a 10x40 greenhouse in 2023 and added tables with shelves. We have gotten so much use out of it. We've put a fridge and freezer in it, used it to store winter squash, and now we are starting seeds again. Y'all will really enjoy the greenhouse!
Multiuse for sure!
If you use a cattle panel on each side connectedat the top with zip ties, you can make it taller, or wider. Is handy for keeping tomatoes inside, or running beds for growing inside.
So smart. Great job Flannel Fam !!! 👍
We did that except we used tin around the bottom. We put the panels up off the ground right under the top edge of the tin.
I wanted tin because I didn't want our dogs to see when a chicken was inside ( I knew at least one would find a way) and tear up the plastic or dig in. We had one hen hatch around three or four clutches of eggs inside so the tin was a good call for us.
We put thin pvc pipe over the top and attached them to the tin with those brace things that we could slide it out and back in. That way we could add shade cloth or pull back the plastic in our hot climate.
We had a fire and the wood and plastic burned up but the cattle panels and tin are still in place. Those things really hold up!
Love that idea! I've some old tin laying around, I might build another one that way.
@@FlannelFarms exactly what we used...old tin and stuff we had except for the pipe, bracket things and probably a few nails or screws. Those kinds of greenhouses are strong enough to hold plants hanging in baskets. For a while I had drip sprinklers around the top but that chicken wanting to hatch in it...I just started hand watering because I went out one day and she was all wet... and mad. You know the saying. Now combine that with a game hen who is super protective. 😂
Ha!
Oooohhh... methinks I gots greenhouse envy! Nice job, and great videoing (yes, that is a word - you can see it right there...)
🙏🙏
Haha love it.
You did a fantastic job. Now I need to do one. Thanks
You can do it!
Fabulous job...middle Flannel must be chuffed
Totally!
Noice!!! We bought a kit. It crushed the first wind storm we had. Tried and tried to repair last year, Unsuccessfully. This year, Going to tear down and build a more permanent one. Great video!
Ah man, sorry to hear that.
You did a great job. Yes, I use a small electric heater in mine. I also made mine double wide by using 4x4 wood posts to support the middle. But, I made mine on my back deck.
❤very nice! I use Propane heaters for my greenhouse because I don't have electricity to it.
Great! I've had my greenhouse plastic for 3 years.
Now, if I can just find my husband's lost motivation😂
Heck, if Carolyn can do it, maybe I can. I know how to use power tools.
You did an awesome job, and the house tape is a great idea. I've not seen that used before.
You can do it!!!!! I believe in you!
This is exactly what I’m going to do this year!!
Let us know how it turns out for you!
Great! Thanks!! 🌱
you can just use logs from the woods for the base free works for me
Great idea thanks
I love it!! It looks great and y'all will get many years of plants.
We don't have one like this but my husband just built me a raised "cold frame./mini greenhouse. " like you we have no heat in ours, ours was built with 99% recycled, re-used or re-purposed material. I bought caulk and stain.
Happy gardening ❤
Nice!
I was given to 8 By 5. foot square. Dog kennels. And that's what I made mine out of.
Awesome!
Awesome! Love this!
We are in process of building a greenhouse out of trampoline frames. Can’t wait to move my seeds/seedlings out of our dining room 😂
Love it. Great job!
Maybe next year for heat you could try a hot bed??? I'm still in the process of getting a high tunnel. Have most of the money, need the permit and now my husband is able to walk again, so I guess I need to get moving on the permit process. God bless y'all and keep growing.
Bummer about the permit. Glad he is up an about!
We might do a hot bed. We hope to have more time next year since the addition will be done.
That looks really great! 👍🏻
Two things- Air flow, you are going to need it. Second, wind straps, you are going to need them. That size, I would X strap across each panel. It will keep the winds from lifting the plastic off and shredding it. Ask me how I know this 😆
Haha! So we did add vents, just not in this video. We used the floor vents from the house that we replaced, so far they are working really well.
I've some fiber weave tape that I will probably use as wind straps, but I did tape the plastic inside to the panels, I just didn't show that
@FlannelFarms the X straps is so the wind can flow and lift the plastic, but, it doesn't let the plastic tear. Crazy how it works.
2 tropical storms and so far it's still holding in place.
Are you putting in some kind of a vent/window to let the heat out?
I love the idea of the easy greenhouse, I could really use one of those. I also like that you can change the length & it does look very sturdy!
Yes! We had a few old floor registers that we used. I cut the opening out then taped the cut out, then put it in, then taped it to it.
Looks great and it's something that most homesteaders can do themselves! I just hope the mice stay out! #GrandmaKarenHasALotOfMice :)
Haha! Me tooooo
Y'all did a nice job on that especially repurposing. My wife and I built a greenhouse ourselves and it is the best investment we've made. Wonder how the take will hold up possibly using baton tape or wind strapping would be a better option for where you anchor to the rail road ties. Wishing y'all a blessed evening.
I might get something heavier, or use wood like a washer like we did inside. We are really pleased with it so far.
Maybe some fabric/weave material as wind strapping.
You’re supposed to mine the iron oar and smelt your own cattle panels and hinges and collect plastic and make your own plastic sheeting otherwise it doesn’t count as frugal 🙃😜,
Jk looks awesome !
I'm a fraud..... lol
@@FlannelFarms 😆not at all
I was playing along :)
I do my best to show honest work we do here and what works for us and what doesn't.
@@FlannelFarms I love everything you do and I’m a huge fan of you and your bro DTG 🙏🫡
@jettyeddie_m9130 thank you so much! That means a great deal to us :)
Brian I think you reclaimed Kamala’s word salad 😂😂😂
Hahaha!
I had mice ruin my starts last spring they have these plug in noise alarms my wife got and I have not has a mouse problem since. I mean i also have like 5 cats outside but that didnt stop them last year. oh you cant hear it but the mice can
Very cool, I've heard those work well.
Chainsaw!!!! 😂
Muhaha!
Sturdy is really good!! Flimsy ones get blown away. This is real Hillbilly Ingenuity. Loved the detail. Thank you.
The editing is fun with this one.
"We did buy hinges. I'm sorry. We should've carved them by hand from a rock." XD
Btw what is your profile picture? This sounds silly but I love the art and can't stop thinking about it every time I look into my yard at sunset and see the chickens' red combs light up so pretty. :p
I believe it is AI generated. My brother either found it or generated it. It is a guy in flannel with his chickens. I think I can email you the original if you'd like.
Cool, thanks a lot! I will email you to let you know my email address if that's ok so I don't have to share it on a public site.@@FlannelFarms
ok waiting for the carved hinge video 😂
Shoot, I better find my hammer and chisel!
Very nice! Do you plan to put any kind of zigzagging cordage over the plastic like I’ve seen on full size greenhouses? Or would it wear holes in the plastic where it rubs on the cattle panel squares?
I’ve given serious contemplation to building one of these myself but it won’t likely happen until next year when I’m retired and have more time to commit to my garden.
Thanks for sharing. I continue to enjoy your content and receive much encouragement from watching.
Thank you for the kind words! That is our overall goal, to encourage folks even if they don't want to live a homesteady type life!
We've been thinking about adding cross straps, however it is located in our backyard and the wind isn't really an issue back there. We had steady winds of 30mph yesterday with gusts up to 50 and it hardly fluttered.
