DIY GREENHOUSE PLANS
We design our greenhouses to be durable, energy-efficient, year-round growing environments. With our pre designed & engineered greenhouse plans, we aim to save you time and money, and reduce waste on your greenhouse build. These simplified plans, which have been applied to most of North America, are easy to build from (or modify) with construction experience. Our materials list allows you to easily and quickly purchase greenhouse rated, durable materials.
