Building a 6’x10′ DIY Greenhouse

[Melissa Francis]

When I finally committed to building a greenhouse, I forced myself to choose a size that matched my reality instead of my imagination. I wanted something I would use, but not something too large to complete in a weekend. It turns out, the 6×10 foot greenhouse is the one of the most efficient structures I’ve added to my homestead. It’s large enough to start seedlings, overwinter plants, and extend my growing season, but small enough to build myself, maintain easily, and adapt as my needs change.
