    Red face DIY Greenhouse?

    Hello, first off I live in northern states of the US. My partner and I wanted to build (or buy if theyre cheap) a greenhouse in my backyard, possibly. What are the pros and cons to this? I am worried about the smell, I would have like 75% legal plants in there but want to do this for fun. I started this hobby strictly for smoking but now I enjoy growing in general.

    Thank you

    There are plenty of DIY greenhouse designs on the net, it really depends on your DIY'ing ability as to if it is better to build your own or buy one...

    Smell issues really depend on how close neighbors are...

    What about the ones @ Harbor Freight? Are they any good?

    They had a 6' x 8' for $250 during a big sale last month, back to $299 now.

    Also have a 10' x 12' for $699. With those prices you could get 2 of the smaller ones for less money & have more space.

    Sometimes HF has good stuff but most of the time you gotta get several of whatever it is you're buying since it will undoubtedly break.

    Sorry for nicking the topic didn't want to start another.

    Basically I'm wanting to build a greenhouse out of pvc piping. I've found a photo of a sort of frame I'd like to do but I was never really good at DT so I'm having trouble calculating the lengths of the tubes that I'm gonna need to use. I've labelled up the screenshot of the design just need help calculating the lengths with the question marks (?). Could anyone help at all? Would be very grateful

    What about a polytunnel ? You can get clear ones, or green.
