Assembly of the Modular Greenhouse






Waite has a modular greenhouse made of rough-sawn 2 x 4 pine from a neighbor's land.
He puts it up in early April and takes it down in early June.

The pictures are posted in reverse order from what they should be. It's a formatting problem I'm working on.

Here is a picture of the deck on his house cleared for assembly of the greenhouse on April 6.



In the next picture, the gable ends and the two sections of the front wall are up.



In this picture, the rafters are up. Each gable end has a rafter and then thre are 7 other rafters that are installed to complete the roof framing. Of course the ledger is also up. The ledger consists of two pieces. There is a support stud in the middle.


Here two of the frame pieces for the bench are installed. There are two other frame pieces for benches on the sides.


Here is the greenhouse with the plastic installed. It takes two people about three hours to erect the greenhouse.


It is large enough that it can hold about 18 trays of 96 plants each on the benches and there is room for more on the floor.
