Gonmon's DIY Greenhouse Plans

[Gonmon]

@ got_ants: That's exactly how I was going to build mine!

@ Magnus_A: Sorry but I just don't understand what your talking about

I've got bad news, my dad decided he won't let me build a permanent greenhouse on his land anymore. So no concrete, no water, no electricity or gas line.

I don't know if a hoop-house would work for me, depends on if I can insulate it enough. I thought of two ways to do it. One, make a quilt of fiberglass batting with layers of plastic on each side, and hanging that over the inside of the North side. Or two, propping up styrofoam board cut and finagled into a curve to fit the North side.

Since I can't get new utilities to the site, I'll have to find a way to do it temporarily. I might be able to run and electric line in the pipe that the sattelite line is in. I can buy a small propane tank for heating. The big thing is water... I'd have to collect rain and snow, and store it for long periods.

So I don't know if this whole thing is do-able anymore

Your drawing on the left, my to the right.
As the roof is hit by the sun if the angle between the south wall and the roof is bigger this will give more light into the greenhouse. I hope this make my wuestion more clear.
