Building a Gothic Arch Greenhouse Part 2

[@shawneckstrom5459]

What a wonderfully inspiring video!!first let me tell you your video editing is excellent!.in have watched this video several times now! The footprint is very elegant and strong!I am a gardener and land owner. When I saw this video I said what a great thing!so today after after 5 hours today and 5 hours yesterday i made a jig .ripped 1x4s 12 feet long in half on the table saw.then spent those ten hours building these beautiful curved gothic beams!!!thanks very much for posting this video. I do have 10 full beams at 12 foot beams.!!!i am.making another 20 this weekend. Making them is addictive. Lol.thanks very much from one grateful gardener to another:)

[@dellboy5811]

It's a joy to watch your videos Benni..You make everything look so easy, thank you again.

[@ivorygilyard2243]

that greenhouse came out great. You did a great job. The video was very helpful. Thank you for posting.

[@joejoebus8814]

Nice work. I am told those are a lot stronger than bending steel hoops. Been wanting to put one up for a while now. ThX for posting.

[@iainmel1]

A couple of points I'd like to make CONSTRUCTIVELY : If your arches had a longer fixing point onto the wooden base beam, you could then after putting on the plastic, LIFT up the arches with a jack or a lever, and fix them at the higher setting thereby stretching the plastic tight. The plastic could also be either wrapped round a piece of wood and the whole thing fixed to the base beam, OR you could dig a trench along the outside and bury the plastic, using the weight of the soil to hold the plastic tight . Tim Jones' comment on pressure treated wood does have a point. I would AT ALL COSTS avoid penetrating the plastic membrane. When you have a stretched membrane and then pierce it, what happens? Lastly, I must congratulate you in your video making skills. No language barrier, No nonsense, no repetition, and logical sequence. keep up the good work!

[@waterboy8999]

Iain Melville , all I would add about piercing the plastic is I've made holes for bolts in my pollytunnel by heating the wrong end of a drill bit with a blow torch, it makes a neat hole that shouldn't tear, I wouldn't make the hole with a screw.

[@johnbullitt1371]

Hey Benni, great project. I am very interested to read more about your experiences after two years. Are you still happy with your construction?

[@asiangoddess4606]

I have one made of strappings spruce - as long as its covered by plastic and doesnt get wet - its fine. you can also paint it to seal or varnish the arches before setup. its gone thru 4 ice storms and still standing. using the strings to go over the plastic are a must - but I wouldnt advice to add screws onto the middle sections of the plastic as water will eventually leak onto the structure.

OTTIMO lavoro e OTTIMO canale 👍👍👍 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@johntheclyde2816]

Terrific and imaginative design. Well done!

[@restabrico1]

IT´S A FANTASTIC PROYECT, CONGRATULATIONS.....

[@davidnaismith2326]

I have shrink wrapping equipment. I want to build one of these buildings, cover it with the shrink wrap and then put the heat to it. I covered a carport with the wrap and it has lasted 5 years to date. That stuff is very strong.

[@bennigoes6176]

Hi David, that's a nice idea! I would love to see how you make it!

[@thedude6736]

Could you maybe show a short update on how it looks now?

[@llwscott5720]

Hi Benni! Loved the speed! Looks like me when my blood sugar is out of whack. I was wondering: Would it be possible to do one side and attach to soffit area of my roof as a permanent sunroom? If so, any ideas on what burglar proof clear material to skin it with? Also, can you do a vid on how to make the jig for bending the boards while you work on them?

[@thedude6736]

Looks incredible, thanks for sharing this!

[@gprn3]

Lot of smart ideas in this build, thanks a lot for sharing.

[@donhammer186]

Hahaha! Faster Benni, Faster! Thank's for producing a fun and informative video.

[@218philip]

It is important to buy UV resistant plastic, greenhouse supply.

[@DataSmithy]

This looks like a nice project. How did hold up after many years? Also do you regret not using treated wood?

[@rinooneone3]

I was thinking the same how did it hold up?

[@Nick-B78]

That’s a stunning build 👏👍

[@charlesplewes773]

Do you have plans / drawings for the structure?

[@lidiadiaz6150]

Hola, te saludo desde Bogota colombia, te agradezco por está idea tan brillante, trabajaré en un proyecto así, bueno algo más pequeño pero sin dudas pensaré en tu resultado para inspirarme!

[@hopechannelcat5462]

what was the length and width of your green house? nice job.

[@ovidiutosa589]

hello . How is the wood work after all these years ?

[@paulgarza4616]

Hi,I would love to see the plans for the gothic arch greenhouse?

[@kanhdahar2]

well done benni, looks great!

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

How does this greenhouse look today? is it holding up? Chuck

[@bennigoes6176]

Hi Chuck, I built it three years ago. The greenhouse is in good condition, only the cover has some holes. Maybe I'll replace the plastic film and improve some other things. When I do this, I'll make a video about it. Benni

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

Sounds great Benni. What grade of film was it? I use 6 mil if I only have 1 layer. I will use 4 mil on the inside and 6 mil on the outside if I use 2 layers. Chuck

[@grahamball364]

Nice like the shape

[@titou-nv8gr]

Hi, I watched your video. I would like to know how much wood you used and how many pieces of wood you cu

[@antongusev381]

Люди, надо парню скинуться на степлер и на древесную пропитку!😉

[@davidosullivan3432]

Nice one .great bit of ingenuity

[@52memor]

enjoyable a GREAT build. Thanks

[@scottmasson3336]

Not sure how you did the ridge?

[@yukichan3971]

Do you happen to have the cost of what you spent to build this?

[@Lab11Woodworking]

Really nice job !

[@loofayfiasco]

i'm pretty clueless re growing things (and thus greenhouses) - is the point of the rubber to protect the wood / to stop pests getting in / to keep moisture in / all of the above?

[@Seafariireland]

Excellent!

[@bovellois]

I'm surprised you did not double the plastic sheet, one outside, one inside for insulation.

[@garyschmidt7320]

If you do double plastic, I would think the heat would build between them and not heat the interior.

[@AurelienCarnoy]

Waw. So skilled.

[@Voloshchenko-83]

Да сделано аккуратно. Но зачем закапывать доску в землю без обработки?

[@MSergejV]

Трудов - вагон, всё красиво, но без водозащиты от конденсата скоро рейки станут серыми, в местах приклейки проставок будет накапливаться конденсат, муравьи натаскают земли под чёрную плёнку и т.д., ээх...

[@va5715]

Чтобы она сгнила там за год.

[@АкопОганисян-м1ю]

Да вот тоже думаю, красиво, труда не мало... А сгниет же быстро...

[@HulkAlee]

Ещё не очень понятно как саморезы плёнку будут на ветру держать

[@Voloshchenko-83]

Александр Дорошенко, пересмотрел заново. И правда только дыр наделал. Так то он шнурками пленку прижал к каркасу, а вот саморезами зря🤦‍♂️

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

Looking great my friend! I look forward to seeing more from this greenhouse. I love all of mine! I subbed! Chuck

[@bennigoes6176]

Hi Chuck, thank you very much. Your channel looks awesome! There will be a 3rd part. In Spring I will give an update on the plants. Benni

[@davidcrowson4745]

Wow that's impressive 😀

[@NimrodTargaryen]

Good Job Benni!

[@BenderRodriguezBender]

Richtig tolles Gewächshaus. Super Edel. Aber eigentlich schade das du es dann mit Folie verkleidet hast.

[@wonka6848]

Great video! I would like to build such a greenhouse, too. What kind of wood did you use? Did you prepare it anyhow in advance? Thanks and kind regards!

[@ThePmloc]

What are the advantages/disadvantages of an arch over a the polytunnel type?

[@raunefare]

Better snow loads.

[@windfarmer88]

You can attach rigid polycarbonate panels to wood arches. Easier to frame up the end walls.

[@atinwolf4410]

Good job bro..

[@ПавелМеркульев-й9е]

На месте не сидишь, молодец.

[@tuksen8078]

Нижний пояс можно было бы обжечь, тогда не будет гнить...

По низу теплицы лучше полосы профлиста вкопать. Доска быстро сгниет.

[@robertcornelisse8664]

Nice!!

[@arthurjones9580]

What kind of circular saw is that!!! I want I need!

[@thedude6736]

It's just a circular saw like many others I'd say... What's so special about it? ;-)

[@rbnhd1976]

Track saw

[@scotthargraves576]

So, how has it held up?

[@thomasmurray4717]

Has anyone tried this for a round house? It seems like a good fit.

[@bgram7866]

I can invision it, but how to attach sheathing materials? Also I built a 12 X 20 greenhouse, hail took out plastic roof first year and polycarbonate roof second year. I covered both with heavy tarp for winter, but spring storms did me in. :(

[@jimh4167]

@@bgram7866 You attach the metal roofing horizontally

[@ronaldlewis8452]

Awesome!

[@ИльяТанненберг]

the base of the greenhouse had to be smeared with used engine oil

[@mouddakirmohammed1560]

Good Bon travail

[@timjones1583]

Without being pressure treated it won't last 3 years

[@Al-gi3sl]

Neither will the plastic but then again, it'll probably last three years. So that's good.

[@raunefare]

If it's made for greenhouse use. It should last longer than that.

[@asiangoddess4606]

I have one made of strappings spruce - as long as its covered by plastic and doesnt get wet - its fine. you can also paint it to seal or varnish the arches before setup. its gone thru 4 ice storms and still standing. using the strings to go over the plastic are a must - but I wouldnt advice to add screws onto the middle sections of the plastic as water will eventually leak onto the structure.

[@pybuspointlodge2086]

I live in Alaska in a rather humid environment, and my neighbor has a greenhouse made of untreated pine sitting on the ground that has lasted five years and is still going. He reckons it'll last another year as a greenhouse, then several more years as a place to store his firewood, at which point he'll tear it down and build a new and improved one. He's lived this way for 25 years, cycling through building projects because he likes it.

[@edsmith4414]

I'd agree. Lot of work to go to and use pine that won't hold up. We made one using white oak, and good so far (4yrs). Also we used 4yr greenhouse plastic, which is now going into the 4th year and still holding up well. Look into standard greenhouse 'wiggle wire'/tracks for holding the plastic very well instead of all that wood on the outside to hold the plastic (and trap moisture)

[@ГаллГаллов]

Для того чтобы не гнили доски, которые в земле, растапливается парафин и пропитывается им доска.

[@kondayyamallula220]

Where is part 3

[@JamesTatePa]

Very nice video, but it left me with some questions. What are the dimensions at the base and how high is it in the center? How long were your side strips and how far apart were your forms. I have been thinking of building a greenhouse and have spent a lot of time looking at different plans. Do you by chance have more detailed drawings or plans? Out of all that I have looked at yours appears to be more size that I want.

[@bennigoes6176]

Thank you, the dimensions are 5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2.8 meters high. The arches have a length of 3 meters and are one meter apart from each other. I will soon upload a video with further details.

[@adammacer]

Lovely production and form but... so many weak details and so much unnecessary work: The edges of plastic sheets are weak and need to be held down continuously so they don't flap - point fixings like those will tear in no time. I'll be surprised if the tiny 'tab' you left at the bottom of the rafters and used to fix rafters to the rails will do it's job in a strong wind. You could easily have left the tab longer and got a really good attachment. Why on earth set the concrete bases so high? - if you'd set them lower you'd have been finished after fixing the the rails and saved having to infill with all those pieces - if you deliberately raised the rails to prevent rot and used the lower pieces as sacrificial 'blocking' that you know will rot and get replaced, why not just overlap rails and save yourself a bunch of metal work and fitting between. Ya, lovely to watch but...

[@loofayfiasco]

isn't that the purpose of the strings? to avoid pulling (flapping) adjacent to the screw & washers

[@adammacer]

Sure, that'll prevent tearing in the middle of sheets but the bottom edge is free - in my experience of house wrap membranes (which are tougher than that poly) any free edge will destroy itself in no time..

[@raunefare]

If he just had pulled the plastic tight. Maybe by wrapping it around a piece of wood. Then all off the strings and small screw's could be left out.
