I decided to add some pictures with comments of other self built greenhouses on our allotment.

This way my instructable is less specific with regard to materials. After all, acrylic sheets are a rare find.

Some of the greenhouses are over 50 years old, with very traditional designs. Disrepair can be caused by design flaws or sloppiness, but usually the old greenhouses have been aging together with the builder, and 80 plussers are not that good at maintenance anymore...

I'm building three greenhouses at the moment, one big greenhouse and two smalls made from thrash and stuff I found in my house and the construction site of my neighbour. He gave me old stuff to use.

What kind of plastic do you use on the 5th picture? I'm thinking of building a small greenhouse like the one in this picture and use it as a seed starter.

No more fun than demolition, designing, building, experimenting! I like making things on a really low budget , so most people in this world, who are poor, might benefit from my ideas
