Greenhouse Project Part 4 - Floor Cover

For the floor / ground cover I wanted something durable, easy to keep clean, and very well draining. Oh yeah, cheap also. I picked up about 4 yards of 3/4"-1/2" crushed rock with no fines.

Greenhouse Project Part 6 - Door, Gables, and Border

Some remaining items to finish on the greenhouse at this point are hanging the door, framing in a small border around the base, and covering the gable ends.

Greenhouse Project Part 5 - Installing Glass

The first glass panels are installed on the walls and front side of the roof. In between each panel is a vinyl H channel that securely holds the panels.

My Greenhouse Project Part 1

It all stated when I tried to grow a few vegetables in small containers on the front deck. It did not take long to realize I wanted more space, and longer growing seasons.

Greenhouse Project Part 2 - Frame

The first step was to find a suitable location. It needed to be flat ground with plenty of sun. Check. So fine, build a greenhouse there.

Greenhouse Project Part 3 - Roof Trusses

This stage was exciting, it finally started to look like a structure of some sort. The roof angle is nearly 45° making ample air space, and height for tall crops like pole beans and corn.
