To my delight – and – I have to admit – ENVY – our friends, the Taylors are building a two-story greenhouse on the back of their house! They are doing the building themselves, making all the supports, doing all the backbreaking and exacting work as they can manage the time and materials.
Here you can see the beautiful supports for the greenhouse and how the whole thing will mesh with the rest of the house.
Here’s another view of the supports.
Polycarbonate sheets go up over the supports. Here they have installed three of the 5 runs of sheeting.
Here all the polycarbonate sheets are up!
I have no clue what comes next. I’m so excited for my friend. She’ll have a blast working here, growing all kinds of exciting things!

Awesome! I have been wanting to build my own greenhouse (of course – not by myself) for a while now. Thanks for taking the time to show how they did it and approximately how much it would cost?

I can only share the pictures my friend is sending me. I have no clue how much this will cost. I would imagine they’re saving a lot by building it themselves rather than hiring someone to do it. I agree the project is awesome. I’m eager to see the finished greenhouse. If I’m lucky, they’ll invite my husband and I to see it when it’s ready for plants. I can’t wait to see what my friend will grow in it!
