Free plans to build your own low cost greenhouse.

Sure, we all want a fancy glass one, but this is a great DIY quick one, until you can wrangle up a few hundred old recycled windowpanes.

that's nice.

.but i can tell you from experience that you will need ventilation or you have an oven
and a fan..which is easy

and a heat source if you are in the north where it can be days between the sun shining
if you are smarter and have a bit more time a heatsink below is a great way to hold the heat

in east texas we use treated wood on the base for termites but the rest of the wood can be untreated.a screen over holes drilled or cut on north face of building at bottom for intake air and fan over door with automatic louvers to keep the bugs out.my neighbors had one with a natural gas heater for co and heat in winter.

download took to long but pic was nice.should last until the plastic fails .
maybe twenty years.
if you have a freak hail storm its better than glass.

where you live z i wouldnt think you need a green house.
just good soil.?
