DIY Greenhouse – Budget Decisions

This is the year you have decided to build a greenhouse. You have done your research homework and you have a pretty good idea of what you want in your DIY greenhouse. Do you have the finances or the budget to complete it?

The greenhouse is essentially a framework covered in glass or plastic to allow appropriate lighting to help nurture young plants in a controlled environment. Reviewing your finances or your budget will help to determine if you are going to use pressure treated wood, cedar wood or other types of construction materials which are needed to complete the project.

Place your DIY greenhouse where there is no possible interruption:

    From baseballs, golf balls, falling tree limbs, and other hazards
    Severe weather damage possibilities of tornadoes, hurricanes, strong winds, snow blizzards, hail and ice storms
    Glass breaks into deadly pieces and plastic cracks or tears. All would need replacing if damaged.

The greenhouse is a functional tool providing the correct amount of lighting, moisture, humidity and warmth for propagating seeds and nurturing young or specialty plants into healthy growth. It is a year round growing and fearless environment for a safe plant haven.

There are many plans available for free standing and lean-to greenhouses. Your green house can be as large or as small as you wish. It can be elaborate or it can be simple in design depending on your needs. The interior will be filled with shelving, work bench, water supply, and other utility necessities needed for the plants you are nurturing.

The lean-to DIY greenhouse will be attached to the side of the house, barn, garage, and porch wherever a wall is available. The south side is usually selected as it gets most of the sunlight.

As you well know our finances or our budget is the deciding factor. Here is a checklist of possible expenses you may consider before making a decision.

    Building supplies – foundation, walls, frame, windows, vents, glass, plastic wraps
    Interior furnishings – work bench, tables, shelves, sinks, hoses, hanging hooks
    Utility – electrical appliances, electrical wiring and accessories. Heaters, air conditioner, lighting, plumbing fixtures and plumbing accessories of misters and hoses
    Tools – pots, garden tools, construction tools and notions e.g. nails, bolts, etc.
    Pathway to and from the greenhouse – concrete, gravel, sand, grass

You will need building plans to construct your DIY greenhouse.
