Greenhouse 1 Construction - DONE !

We have 95% of the greenhouse finished.  Little things like weather stripping windows, getting the louver and roof vent auto-openers/closers installed remain.  After that, the fun stuff begins - getting the electrical, plumbing, and grow systems installed.

We had a busy day today.  Once the foundation was finished the actual greenhouse construction only took about a day and a half.  A few friends helped raise the roof, the only part that took about 6 people to do.  The roof is built as a unit and then lifted onto the greenhouse frame.  The roof is not heavy, just long and awkward.  Just like they said in the video.  Everything else went together perfectly.  Thanks Rion for producing such a great product!

  1. You may want to look into an Autovalve powered coco system for your greenhouse. It requires no electricity and grows like a champ!
