This is kinda long. The first part is my introduction of the greenhouse. The rest of it documents the construction of the greenhouse. This isn't really a "how-to", but it would probably be a good assistance if you are building one. The kit was purchased at Harbor Freight.
This video has been helpful to many in constructing the 6' x 8' Kit Greenhouse sold by Harbor Freight. ( One Stop Gardens - Item#69714 ). I have no affiliation with Harbor Freight. This is just my experience putting their product together.

Thanks for making this video. I received this little greenhouse for my birthday last year and due to current events we were not able to put it up right away. It was in storage all winter but when we finally pulled it out yesterday the instructions were destroyed :( I found your video and my husband was able to put it together :) He does much better with watching and doing than reading poorly constructed manuals anyway. So Thank You.. even 2 years after the fact your video is helping people :)

I went ahead and added Teks #12 x 3/4" corrugated roofing screws to all the panels to help with wind loads. 4 on each panel and those things aren't coming off at all.

I probably would have still been trying to figure out the instructions without the video but we (my wife and I) got it together in an afternoon. Had the laptop in the garden watching your video step by step. Started at 3pm and finished at 7 pm. Well done! Thanks.

+Blake “Daddykirbs” Kirby, I have never had a greenhouse and I was hoping that you could provide me with some insight. The greenhouse I built (all thanks to your instructional video), 6 x 8 is a great deal. I was thinking about putting a silicone bead around the panels to help improve the heat/humid conditions. I am not certain if sealing the panels would negatively impact the purpose of a greenhouse. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Also I just purchased some chives, leaks, green and red bell peppers, cilantro, jalapenos, romaine lettuce and tomatoes (Better Bush and Big Boy) for the greenhouse. I would really love to hear any suggestions you have on how to grow the vegetables inside a greenhouse as well as transplanting and what size containers you recommend. From all of the videos I watched on youtube, I consider you the best and I truly appreciate your knowledge as well as patience. I want to thank you in advance for your input Kirby, Raymond Newberry...... P.S. I am not sure if this is relevant (climate and wind conditions) but I live in Middle Tennessee.
@daddykirbs
@daddykirbs 8 жыл бұрын
Raymond Newberry Wow, I'm the best? That's a great compliment. There are far better gardeners out there for sure, but I'll take a stab at your questions. I know of several people that have used some sort of sealant to make the panels more secure on the greenhouse. I see no problem with this. I haven't done it, but that's probably just because I tend to forget to do things :) The main purpose for my greenhouse is seed starting in the Spring and overwintering potted plants. I've never used it for a primary growing space. In your climate it may be more appropriate, but here in TX it is way too hot to grow inside that space to grow anything in the Summer. Your Chives, Leeks and Lettuce may appreciate a cooler space than the greenhouse, but again... I don't know what your greenhouse temps will be in your area. I think your Peppers and Tomatoes may be fine. Keep an eye on your temps inside the greenhouse. If it gets too hot in the Summer you could throw over some shade cloth and keep the vents open. Are you going to grow in pots or are you building raised beds inside? I'm glad you are growing your own! :)

Your video was so helpful in assembling this Greenhouse. I agree with others that the instructions were not made for the DIYer. Luckily I have a BIL who can build things so he assembled most of it with me coming in to watch video and report back to him if he did it correctly. Unfortunately I am not mechanically inclined so he did most of the work....but THANK YOU..THANK YOU.

I put one of these together as well (what a challenge). I used aluminum tape on the inside of the greenhouse to help hold the panels (in addition to clips on outside), it is strong, water resistant, and reflective. Not to mention it is much easier than caulking, and you can remove it to replace panels with ease. I applied the tape mainly because mild wind seemed to bleed right into the structure making it nearly impossible to heat. The other problem i have had is the door is pretty lousy and gets hard to open sometimes. I used a brick to wedge against it from the outside forcing it closed so the weather stripping could do its job on cold nights.

DOOR: Here is what I found on the door. Mine was clearly dragging at the bottom. First, one of the screws on the very bottom of the door side frame was in wrong, it was in the slot of the black “bottom slider” below the hole, not in the hole. Second, the bottom door frame needed to be as low as possible. The holes in the side frame are slots, but if the bottom isn’t adjusted to max, the side frames drag on the lower track. If you take the door off and look at the bottom, take a straight edge or stiff wire and set onto little rollers (look like pulleys) the straight edge needs to clear the bottom of the side frame so when the door is in place, the side frame is is above and not touching the track. My door is not perfect, but now, much better. I am also concerned about the track bending from being stepped on and may look into support under it, but the support needs to not interfere with the bottom slider.

Video helped a lot saved me from making a lot of mistakes and headaches which I would have had without this frame took me about 5 hours with a helper to hold things up and screw some nuts and bolts! The directions remind me of LEGO directions diagrams and numbers not much more lucky I have some experience with such, not as bad as some people make this seem with a little bit of patience and this video you’ll be golden! Thankyou

We recently bought this exact greenhouse from Harbor Freight. And you video saved our lives with putting it up. The written instructions were so bad, we hardly used them. We went step by step with your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare and post such a valuable video!!! It is great to know people like you exist and are willing to help so many others! Thanks again! One question: since you built your greenhouse, have you had problems with the panels blowing out? I see many others have stated this problem. If so, how did you fix the problem?
@daddykirbs
@daddykirbs 10 жыл бұрын
These types of replies keep me motivated to continue sharing :) When I was finished building mine I had about 10 clips left over. I felt like I didn't need them. After one good wind storm I had a few panels scattered in the yard. I put them back in and secured all the panels with the leftover clips. Since then... no problems.

Blake, Thank you so much for your video, I would have had a much harder time putting it together for sure! Instructions were very confusing at first but after watching your video a couple times they finally made sense. I made a little video thanking you and and another fellow you tuber for your guidance and suggestions please check it out... Loving the greenhouse now and great channel you have! Been lurking for a while now! Haha.... Love how you incorporate the kids as much as you can, I also have a special needs daughter so projects can certainly be challenging at times. Thanks again Blake and kids! You've inspired me to start making some more videos to share around my 2 acre home ish stead so to speak...

Regarding framing the base here's what I did: (4) 4x4x8 cut (2) to 75" and cut (2) to 911/2" assembled as DaddyKirby shows. I added 2x10" for extra height on top of the 4x4's and was glad we did as I'm 5'8' and feel just setting the frame on the ground or even on the 4x4's would have been too low. I would also like to thank DaddyKirb's for a great video, with my iPhone on my work table to guide us, total assembly was about 4hrs.

Hi! I'm about to build mine but stumped with making a base. Mind sharing how you attacked the additional 2x10 to the base? Then is the whole base just "buried" in the ground a little or does it need extra/special anchors ? Tia
