Although I don't have a pic of it up and done? I bought a used greenhouse frame with ends. A Weatherguard 6 1/2' tall, 6' wide, 12' long GREENHOUSE!!!! Woot! Here's a standard pic of it. I bought it used from Craigslist. I find all kinds of things on Craigslist. Only the ends (doors) were included as the seller said the top had disintegrated after 5 years. So, I'll assemble it (yes, thankfully I got the instructions too!), add a cover or heavy-mil greenhouse plastic and I will use it for all kinds of things. It's small, but functional.
I could have made this basic hoop house out of a cattle panel (and have done so many times), but this structure is MUCH heavier - although the cattle panel structure would be strong enough... I liked it and liked the price.
I don't know how much I'll be able grow, but expanding my growing days will be interesting.
I read that it'll most likely have to be anchored if you get high winds (and I do), so I'll do that as well.
After I decide where to put it, I plan to put a large overhead pergola/sunshade above my log bunkers. And grow UP. This will most likely be near that structure.
So many plans! I have planned to take some time off work between Christmas and New Year's, cut wood, make more log bunkers for my new asparagus bed in the Spring.
After 17 years of trying to decide where to grow what, I think I've figured it out! A friend of mine helped bump me along the path I wanted to go. You know who you are - thank you.
Sometimes, that's all you need. An elbow bump. And a bit of encouragement...
Keep your vision. And be sure to wear your OWN glasses when it gets fuzzy.
