Answer 1

"Rough Brother Greenhouse", in Cincinnati, OH has been in the business of manufacturing and constructing greenhouses for many years. In addition to large commercial greenhouses, they also manufacture a line of greenhouse kits for the homeowner. Both freestanding and attached greenhouse plans are available. Here is a link to their website:

I know this company well since I worked summers for them while I was in college.

Good luck with your greenhouse project.

Answer 2

A greenhouse does not need to be very big ,just to start some seeds. Look for old windows of any type. Giveaways are the best. Screw or nail together. This kind of greenhouse won't blow away. Make sure you can open one window for access and ventilation.

Answer 3

i want to do the same thing and the best way i could figure out to build one is to use 3/4 in. pvc pipe and some thick plastic drop cloth tacked to the pvc with oval-head screws. you can even make a door in it with a little creativity and imagination. Or you can go on www/familyhandyman.com and see if they offer any plans. they usually have inexpensive ways to build just about anything.
