Hi, all. I am new here, but just had to add a comment to this thread. I am new at this plant stuff, but saw plans for a greenhouse that I thought would be fine for my emerging needs. The plans said it could be built for less than $90 with supplies from any local home improvement center. Well, I don't know what home improvement center they shop at, but it ended up costing twice that (which was still acceptable in our opinion). Anyway, this is the finished product. I really wish I had joined this list earlier and had seen the cattle panel hoophouse designs. Ours is only 12 x 12 and I think I could have done one with the cattle panels that would have been plenty adequate and saved some money. We are only using this for starting plants, then they get moved to the shaded pad area for growing, but I am ready now to do another one and will definitely use the ideas posted here! Thanks everyone for the great ideas from this newbie!
