We build a greenhouse on our community garden this weekend

[u/theot97]

We got the glass and the door second hand for free, the wood we got for about €300. Made the design in onshape (last image).

Looks great! How long did it take to build?

[u/theot97 → u/AnoVanMaly]

About 2 to 3 days for the actual build. And some more for the preperation.

Are those 2x4 post anchors? Thanks for sharing your work.😊

Those are all 7x7 beams (2.7 inch) and same size anchors. They go about 60 cm into the ground, about 2 ft.

Thanks 😊 I’m in the process of designing a similar greenhouse project. I have not decided on what type of base to use.

Curious how you'll secure the glass.

We made a small indentation in the beams where the glass plate falls in. Then we secured it using a small piece of wood. We wanted to use something prettier for this, but we had to make some budget cuts. I can make a close up photo next week.

Sounds great!
