We have a small nursery business in our town, so we need lots of greenhouse space in the spring. I have a small one covered in fiberglass that I use for seedlings, then a larger one covered in plastic sheeting that I use for my baskets, etc. Last year we ran out of space, so we purchased one of those big tents from Costco or Sam's Club.

Instead of using the tarp coverings included, we used plastic sheeting and added a Toyostove until the weather warmed. Once the weather heated, we cut the ends out of it, and cut out some windows, and we had a nice covered tent for the plants that melt in our rainy summers... mostly the petunias! Anyway, the tent cost around $200, and we took it apart and put it away in the fall. For those who only need the greenhouse in the spring, the regular tarp top could be put on it for a shady spot in the summer, or you could take it down for more room in the yard.
