Start of the Panel Greenhouse!

Decided that a big greenhouse is kinda pointless, since it'll be too hot most of the year in there. So I'm going to take the panels down and make a sheep catch pen outta them.
Going to get some 2x4x16ft wood boards and make an A frame greenhouse. It'll be much smaller, maybe 8x10ft or so, on cinderblocks.
I'll post pictures when I start.
 
That's probably a good way to go for you. My first structure was A frame shaped. It worked okay as a way to get starts going earlier in the spring, but the next season we restructured and made it a big rectangle. Easier to walk around in there, and more room for table type things to put the pots on. The 1st A frame greenhouse just wasn't wide enough for a row of tables on each side with a path in between, which is more ideal for me.
 
Ok, 12ft by 8ft and 6ft tall. Plenty big enough for the very few plants and only being used in spring n fall.

Painted. Realized I did the top wrong, but w/e. It'll get another coat tomorrow and then won't tarp it until Spring.

I like that Sec. Looks kinda low tho for a head that's, you know, pertnear 6 foot above the ground, but it could be good crawling in and out of.

Think knee pads...because...decades later happen, and knees remember real well about crawling around on them. Maybe even have a spot near the entrance to hang the knee pads.

Now, it's almost the first of the year. I have my own engineering to start doing! you're inspiring me to get cracking! I have some ANTI GOPHER garden cages to start initiating!
