    So a few weeks ago I decided I want to build a greenhouse but one that is within my budget.  After browsing for few blueprints on the internet. I decided on using this guys plan.

    I also plan on doing a few modifications like  dual zipper pull up door,large zip ties instead of clips,no windows, and 4 Velcro  "vents"  on the top (2 on each side) and also some concrete anchors.

    All in all it's gonna cost me around 100 dollars for the dimensions I am using for the PVC parts and 6 mil plastic and other accessorys. I plan on buying the more expensive greenhouse 6 mil next time as it last for 4 years.
     
    The area I am using is 10x10.

  3. Watch for wind make sure joints and base are secure.  I like to use those pop up canopies, usually ten by ten feet and easy to secure and wrap in plastic.
     
  4. Winds not an issue around these parts usually.
     
    although sometimes we get those Santa Ana winds.
     
  5. should have built out of wood alot more sturdy but looks decent
