So glad that Green Acre Homestead and DIYFFERENCE channels are here to help me past the time. Makes me wish I could be younger to enjoy the designing aspect of building. Look forward to all your channels.

[@Zombie-adventures]

They are my favorites too, Joyce! I like to watch Freakin Frugal too!

[@abcxyz1797]

I watch both, also. Will check out the other one mentioned, too. Sam and Angela are always fun & smiling. I like hearing the happy children playing in the background, too. Scrap & Pallet Man I look forward to watching also.

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww you are too sweet! Thank you so much! 😊

[@bradhugo8973]

Another great video!! Sam your the Macgyver of homestead livin!!

[@olaleet]

Thanks a million!!! You gave me the answer to my problem. Happy growing. 💜

[@elainearchibald9020]

Looking awesome Sam and Angela! TFS :)

[@OhItsJustMe2]

You put a lot of thought and planning into that greenhouse...... Its looking fantastic!!!

[@HumbleVoyager]

I love hearing how you think things through. Well done, Sam and Angela!

[@paulajones9956]

Your greenhouse is Awesome

[@harryhatz5137]

Good job! Slide a piece of metal conduit inside the plastic .Will stiffen it up . Easy fix.

[@mark109s]

I absolutely love your Green House! Great video too!

[@lindaremillard2604]

Sam and Angela you have done a beatiuful job on your greenhouse. Great job. Enjoy your vlog.

[@coffeefortwosolly]

Looking really good...🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Very nice greenhouse build.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Keep experimenting and having fun!

[@sam-and-angela]

Always!

[@pauldjerassi5144]

Well done cant fault your work it works first time all the time .

[@elaine4415]

Love watching you guys

[@rondabixler9590]

It Really looks Awesome.

[@3msannie]

I like the pvc crank idea. You may have thought of this already but if you can find a cap to close off the end of the crank handle it would keep wasps or hornets from deciding it's a great place to build a home. Your greenhouse is looking great!

[@sam-and-angela]

I actually hadn't thought of that, but ABSOLUTELY will do that! Thank you so much!!!

[@purpguy69]

Get you three straps like tie down straps for front middle and back of your roll up side same length as your plastic to help stabilize and roll better.

[@kimberleytramper8966]

Great job Sam and Angela! Mark another thing off the list.

[@jun1977i]

Like the crank make out of pbc a good idea, simple but nice.

[@dylangardner4299]

Love the content on both channel’s, keep up the good work.

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Nice work.

[@micksbackyardaquaponics1408]

That was amazing job you had dun there to your greenhouse it was great to see it 👍👍

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks 👍

[@marieparks5674]

Looks great

[@emmamartin3424]

thank you this is so inspiring , I put a large shed up today with my sister👍this channel and diyfference are fantastic

[@sam-and-angela]

Great job!

[@judyrosey]

You will have to replace the plastic eventually....we have a greenhouse and it lasts about 2 years. So, your attaching method will make it easy to replace everything when needed!

[@MsJWheels]

You made it work. Will be interesting to see how you set up rain barrels. Like how you are willing to experiment to find the best option. Would like to see a closer view of the clamp you made for the rollup pipe. What are your plans for the ends? Wait until it gets cold to close them up or roll up on the back and door on the front? Probably a number of possibilities. Something for another day. Take care and God bless.

[@sam-and-angela]

The clamp is literally a woodworking clamp called an "F Style Bar Clamp". It was the quickest thing I could find when the storm blew in quickly and worked great. The ends will not roll up completely, but have windows and doors framed that open/close. I think they will be more durable and versatile for us. We also have some heat-powered vent openers that will be incorporated into these windows/panels too.

[@patriciamontague6035]

Great ideal

[@dezfan]

Ingenuity and frugality in action! 👍🏼

[@zachlloyd9392]

Good stuff. I have seen people recommend that the roller spins inward to keep water from sitting in the rolled up area if it rains. Not sure if it matters a lot, just some more information to ponder. I have enjoyed every video you have made. God Bless you.

[@bonniekornfeld6662]

Hope your plastic gutters work better than mine. They became really brittle after a couple of years . Had to pull them down and do metal ones. Loving your green house. Look out Biltmore!🤩

[@cchambers8632]

If you crank the pipe the other way, it will not hold/catch water when it rains. You have plenty of barrels already to collect lots of water for your plants and other uses. Some soap makers use rainwater when making soap, which you may already do.

[@mikelance8774]

sam just a suggestion put sand on the pvc pipe for weight will help with the plastic from blowing around and help all around

[@sam-and-angela]

That's a great idea! Where's the boys sandbox... 😎😂

[@lisapointer4350]

Great video Sam. Thanks for info on Lexel - have just ordered some (£33 on amazon uk!!) BUT if it works as well for us then will be worth every penny. Stay safe

[@djterry1218]

You the man. You don’t know how many times I’ve done things and had to redo them and think oh why didn’t I do this first. Why didn’t I wait to do this?!

[@catcolbert9044]

I love your geeen house. I would have liked to see a close up of the "wood clamp" that you mentioned at the end that helped to hold the side in better. Happy growing....

[@sam-and-angela]

I’ll post a photo of it very soon.

[@floief]

And my pop used to say, "Good enough for government work". Granddad had the one I use all the time "Good enough for who it's for". Kinda like the Navy Bean Soup I made for supper...and I think I'll go have some. Good job! I'll be interested to see the setup for catching the water :)

[@maggiesue4825]

I love watching a guy doing stuff in the garden!!

[@karenkunkel7883]

I really enjoy your progress. Not sure about your sun heat there but plastic deteariates in the sun. It becomes very brittle and brakes.

[@sam-and-angela]

This is not just plastic, it's true greenhouse film and is made to be in the sun.

[@josmith317]

Sam, you have much more ambition than me at this point in time. I enjoy your vids and Angela's soap but glad I have a postage stamp yard.

[@shaniaa9287]

That's one fine looking green house Sam. You can be so proud. Something I need here. Last year we had so much rain it ruined my garden and I just had a few plants. Great ideas 👍❣️

[@angelacross2216]

Great job. I’m really looking forward to seeing how you set up your rain harvesting system.

[@leabarto8156]

You're doing an awesome job ya'll!!!

[@valeriepritchard677]

My waterbutts are on the other end, one each side of the door. This means I don't have to go around the back to get water. If the gutter needs more waterproofing I would consider all weather adhesive tape to bridge the gap.

[@joycejones6015]

You’re so smart Sam! I love your green house. Your plants should flourish! Goo job💕

[@pfurr281]

Man Sam you are a fast worker lol I love it love it love it I have always wanted a greenhouse but never got one maybe one day I can have one ,will you let us know what it cost too heat it in the winter? I have too start my seeds in our house with a little lamp but it works,can't wait too see your videos every week and you have the most beautiful place nothing like them hills.

[@fava7753]

Good job , was thinking while you were doing the guttering , if you were going to run the down pipes into your barrels for the plants , are you doing a run off into another barrel when the first one fills . Easy done with just one pipe from one to the other , more water storage that way . Just a thought . . . Keep up the excellent work and content guys .

[@rubberdc]

Those cutting shears are amazing arent they .impressed.

[@Newman81964]

You can always use some of the metal electrical conduit. It will be sturdier than the PVC and be lighter in weight that the pipes that you use for chain link fences.

[@nancyparker3732]

Great ideas and follow through!

[@pollyanne9973]

Great job ! it is really coming together and looking good.Hugs from Carole in UK

[@ladywolverine1828]

I'd like to copy ur greenhouse. 💗💗💗👍👍👍

[@sam-and-angela]

Feel free! Once it's all said and done I have intentions of making plans for building it. Materials, cut lists, etc.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Thanks for the tip on the Lexel. I have an outdoor project that needs exactly that. Just ordered 2 bottles. I hope that was an affiliate link you posted.

[@sam-and-angela]

It’s really good stuff and our go-to for any outdoor sealant project. We first found it when rebuilding a 70s camper and looking for a sealant for the new aluminum roof. Thanks for the link click! It was an affiliate one-every bit helps keep this show rolling. 😎👍🏻

[@reneebrown2968]

As far as the gutter system i would have went with the metal. Think about how easily sun erodes plastic and makes it brittle. This is why i bought metal gutter in white

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

I just wanna see a guy do some stuff in a garden in NC LOL. Great video :)

[@jd30850]

What about a thin flat strap or webbing, like from an old ratchet strap, screwed to the pipe and folded over to cover it to keep plastic from catching, and run up the inside secured the same way and add stability to the pipe? Would the length needed be too bulky when the side is up?

[@jesusislord2457]

It works; so that is a reason to cheer you on! Do your happy dance, my friend. One question, I saw a DIY greenhouse a few years back that the builder put pvc washers on every screw. I never asked why it was done that way and wonder if you have any idea for what the purpose was. God bless you and your sweet family. XOXOX

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you very much! Yes, I think I know why they would have done that. The large washer spreads the holding power of the screw head over a larger surface making it harder for the plastic to pull loose. It's the same concept as button cap nails with house wrap or roof underlayment. That last sentence is foreshadowing to our near future, BTW!!! 😊😎👍

[@joebiker8466]

Great job. I rigged up a roll up wall using tarp , I used Electric conduit but PVC could work if you add sum weight inside. Anyhoo I use small pulleys and cord like on a roll up. Blind. Just secure one end of tha cord at tha top inside come down and under tha pipe and back up to tha pulley. I use 2 pulleys for 10 ft tarp.Mines 12 ft high .l have two cords too pull and it rolls up nice and tight.I been using it fer 10 years in tha winter to keep snow off my back porch.works easy fer Ole Lazy Geezer who hates snow on porch Cl;-(p)

[@bigdteakettle8989]

I think you could stiffen your PVC roll up pipe by cutting the pipe into 4 sections and fitting back together with couplers. That should keep your roller from having a mind of its own and be a lot lighter than a chain top rail. Does the plastic sheeting have any type of hail resistance rating?

[@sam-and-angela]

It is listed to be resistant but no specific hail rating. That being said, there is a lot of technical info on their website and it is very strong! Hope this helps! www.agtec.com/agtec-super-strength-clear-woven-greenhouse-film-12mil-per-sq-ft.html

[@suesweetpea7]

GREAT JOB ANGELA AND SAM, THE GREENHOUSE IS LOOKING AMAZING. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR GUTTERS FROM AND WERE THEY EXSPENSIVE?

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you! We got them from our local big box hardware store-Lowes. They weren’t crazy expensive. The costs add up for the end caps and brackets.

[@evelynrudd818]

I really like your since of humor, when I watch you work it's so down to earth and fun. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@barryedwards1336]

Sam have a look over at Lumnah Acres here on you tube he has just recently built one of those hoop type green house but he made his own roll up sides which he uses a battery drill and a hook to roll it up, very clever and works well, his greenhouse is quite a bit bigger than yours but perhaps you could adapt his idea to suit yours, if you are using those blue barrels to store the water in then try to have them feed from one to the other down the line, then joining both side together to the outlet.

[@sam-and-angela]

I’ll check him out, thanks! And yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing with the rainwater system. 😎

[@craignash4736]

Nice job ....how much drop was there from one end to the other end....when installing your gutter ? Thank you. Looks good. Craig

[@sam-and-angela]

Probably 1” total over the 16’ span. The main problem was my crooked eyes! First go around looked like a roller coaster with ups and downs. But I got it ironed out okay. 😎

[@jackiegardner9128]

🙋🌻

[@rubberdc]

The back wall, as you were talking about it , I suddenly had a thought......could you use the rest of the trellis so you can grow plants up the wall?

[@sam-and-angela]

Ooo.. that's a REALLY good idea!

[@rubberdc]

@@sam-and-angela I thought you may want to take advantage while you are planting in there to grow tomatoes ?

[@rubberdc]

Good evening Sam, question ....does the glue you used on the pipework set immediately ? I notice when you push the two pipe ends together that you squeeze them and twist them , is that to coat the entire plastic ?

[@sam-and-angela]

It sets within 30 seconds, and yep a little twist to make sure it seals all around the pipe.

[@rubberdc]

@@sam-and-angela thats something i didnt ever think of . good tip.

[@michaelgriffee145]

Good job how much you charge to build me one that same size beside my garden and I will furnish all the materials

[@paulaalto3034]

💕👍🏻😁😁

[@rubberdc]

At the end of the video, you were talking about rain showers , now at first , when the water was spraying I thought "oh it IS raining " then thought "nah, its probably Sam using a hose and spray" but nope I now know it WAS actual rain ....duh,

[@MhUser]

you should have put the roof plastic inside the gutter and no sealant would be needed

[@Hollybank5]

Just when I was wondering what you were up to -- Shazam! A video !! 😀. That’s the best greenhouse I’ve ever seen !!! Congratulations 🎈🍾🎉🎊, Sam !! The Lexell got me to wondering if it would fix a problem that I have ?? I have a wooden shed sitting on concrete- - that is at the bottom of the hill . There are sprinklers on the hill and when it rains hard, my shed floods on that side .... Sam, do you think Lexell would work better than the Flex Seal that I used ? ( or did I miss a section ? Or not apply it heavy enough ??? I’d be interested in your input there ..... 🙏

[@sam-and-angela]

In my experience flex seal doesn’t work good for much of anything unfortunately. Can you send me photos of your shed and ground? You can email or send them over on Facebook-whoever works for you. I’d be glad to offer help for you!

[@Hollybank5]

I’ll send pics tomorrow or the next day - thank you 😊

[@Hollybank5]

Sam, I’m having a hard time figuring out how to attach pictures-- so I’m just gonna TRUST YOU and buy some Lexel . I found it on Amazon ( not at Home Depot 😩 ) ... but if you recommend it, I’m gonna use it !! ❤️😘😁👍

[@rubberdc]

Do you ever look back at what you have achieved since you started this whole house and farm? because I am still amazed at everything you two do . you have to have so much knowledge . Its difficult not to admire you .

[@sam-and-angela]

We rarely slow down long enough to think. LOL But you're right... we did start here with bare land and have been here for every single bit! Fun to think about!

[@kenhart6330]

Here in the UK gutters are given a 1" fall over 50 feet so at the length you're going as long as it doesn't go the wrong way it will do for your application. I like to watch you thinking your way through the problems you come up with. Good luck and happy days with your family, my kids are grown up now and the youngest is hoping to marry in August.

[@lemoncrinckles]

That is pretty SLICK!! Looking forward to seeing what your garden will produce. TFS. (:

[@sam-and-angela]

Me too! Thank you!

[@kayashmore4296]

I couldn't be sure I could tell if you rolled plastic under Or up but others have said they rolled it under so the roll was next to the frame so rain did not settle in the roll to cause algie growth. God bless.

[@sam-and-angela]

We rolled it up the wrong way. It does catch water. Yay... we get to redo it! LOL We've gotten a lot of good ideas from comments and viewers so may tweak the roll up design while we're at it, too. Thanks!

[@mattt4853]

Great job. That lexel reminds me of a product called goop (marine grade). While I was watching I was literally thinking a wood clamp would work to keep the roll up side secured. And what do you know, that's what you used.

[@sam-and-angela]

Great minds think alike! 😎 Although now it means I need more woodworking clamps! Hahaha

You go Sam !!!! So proud of you and your wife for not being afraid to learn the hard way. WONDERFULLY !!!!

[@michaelraby7043]

You did a great job on your green house. Some thing to think about on you rain water collection system I’d to take a 1 x 4 and cut the roof pitch in it down the middle ( making 2 pieces) and mounting that underneath the roofing plastic to creating a lip. Then mount the gutter underneath the 1 x 4 for the rain water to fall into the gutter. Great job and I like your homestead and vlogs.

[@leahr.2620]

What if you put a piece of galvanized pipe inside the PVC and put a cap on the PVC, that may make it more rigid, just a thought😉 Looks good 👍👍

[@rubberdc]

I noticed the pipes wouldnt go up , google a roller blind and the way that works.

[@davidhelfrich7150]

I would suppose a larger diameter pipe on the windup wall would make it easier to raise smoothly and would wind up faster. Additionally it might not droop in the middle so much. 🦀

[@brendameatte4287]

Get a piece of smaller pipe and put it inside the PVC to make it stronger, maybe? Metal pipe.
