PVC Greenhouses Made Easy

Assuming that you’ve already chosen the perfect spot to place your small >PVC greenhouse, here is an easy blueprint for setting up one for your personal garden.

This is a simple list of materials that you will need to pick up:

–  4 ft. of wooden lathe

–  (34) 1/2″x24″ sections of rebar

–  (19) 1/2″ x 20 ft. pvc pipe

–  14 pieces of 2ft x 4ft x 12ft lengths of framing wood.

–  2 pieces of 2’x6’x12′ lengths of wood.

–  (4) 2×6 – 16′ sections of framing lumber.

–  Zip ties

–  Nails/screws

–  Metal U Bands

–  Door Hinges and Handles

First Step: Prepare The Framework

Using the 2x6s to put together a 12’x32′ frame. Set these pieces together in the shape of a square.

Second Step – Add Hoops:

Put the rebar in the ground on the outside of the frame. Put it about 15″ into the ground and keep 15″ sticking up out of the ground.

Step Three – Place PVC Tubing On Top of rebar:

Slide both ends of the PVC pipes over the rebar pieces to make a hoop across the entire width of the greenhouse.

Fourth Step: Preparing The Ends:

Cut the 12′ 2x4s into the following pieces.

(8) 1’11 1/4″ (2) 4’1/4″ (2) 11’8 3/4″ (4) 4’7″ (4) 1’6″ (4) 5’7″

The 5’7″ pieces should stand up and form a door. The 4’1/4″ runs across the 5’7″ door. The (2) sections that measure 4’7″ and 1’11 1/4″ respectively will be used to bolster the sides of the 5’7″ door and will look like mini-doors attached to it. The 1’6″ and the 1’11 1/4″ looks like an even smaller door and serves as extra reinforcement as well.

At this point you can run the 32 ft. length of pvc and use it to form a ridge for the top of the semi-hoop frame. You will have a sturdy framework at this point after you connect each cross joint with the plastic zip ties.

Fifth Step – Attach The Plastic To The Top of The Frame

Drape a sturdy 4 mil plastic over the length of the greenhouse with overlap at the ends in order to cover the end walls. Use wood lathe or staples to keep the plastic in place.

Sixth Step:
Build a door frame by cutting the 12′ 2x4s and place it in the frame of the 4’1/4″ mad 5’7″ door space. Attach a hinge and cover this door in plastic as well. Attach door handles to the door and mount it to the frame.

And there you have it… a PVC greenhouse. This is the simplest of all backyard greenhouse designs to build but they do the trick quite well in my experience. Happy green-housing!
