He's hoping to find a rooster that's like the little guy named binoo on tiktok. The rooster is so cute.
Anyone else thinking about adding a greenhouse this spring?

I'm not on Tik Tok, so I'm not familiar with that rooster!

My first greenhouse consisted of a 4x6 frame I'd built for a litter of chicks with 3/4" PVC hoops over the top. Soon built a 4x6 addition to house the small potbelly stove I needed to heat it through the cold nights and it worked though getting up every two hours to put wood in the stove wasn't ideal.
I graduated to a 6x8 dog kennel with a pitched 1" PVC roof and it works. Definitely not big enough, but I can easily heat it with an electric heater on cold nights. I have an old box fan inside for air circulation and roll up the plastic in the back and open the door to regulate the temperature. Not perfect but it works. I use three 2x4 folding table frames that I covered with rabbit fencing, which easily holds 12 flats.
I also have one of the powder-coated ones with the zipper cover that I bought used at a yard sale and wouldn't recommend it. I kept it anchored with bungee straps inside of the dog kennel as the wind would have killed it otherwise. Also replaced all of the rusted pieces with EMT conduit and bought actual greenhouse film for it. It's much sturdier but still not something I'd buy again.
I have no experience with the pop-up greenhouses but they look similar to the pop-up canopies which do not hold up well to high wind, torrential rain or snow.
I currently have a Harbor Freight 10x12 in pieces as I purchased it complete but damaged by wind. I've done lots of research and know it will need extra support as well as some aluminum angle to reinforce/repair the broken pieces. Hoping to start construction on it this year
