Greenhouse Building

I got a fun project at Ijams this week!  Greenhouse end building!  The idea was to take the old cypress sides of the previous greenhouse (orignal to the site) and use them as the ends for the new greenhouse.  The sides are kinda like garage door segments.  We wanted to fit these into the U-tube of the end of the green house, which then could also serve to hold down the plastic.  I'm pretty happy how it turned out*.
Example cut and notch

Finished Product

*Mistakes:

  • First segment has is cross member cut a little short.  This wasn't a mistake so much as an oversight - originally we thought that they would need to less stable then they ended up.
  • Middle segment is somehow lower than the rest.
