How to Build a PVC Cold Frame | Miniature PVC Greenhouse Frame

[@pandarush.]

From this frame I can make a house for my cat! Love it.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Hah! I never thought of that use before - clever!

[@ramonpalmero537]

just exactly what Iam looking for! well done.thank you

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Glad I could help!

[@eleonoradillewaard8291]

That was an awesome tutorial. I making a A- frame out if PVC to put a tarp over it and set inside my little boat. The snow will slide right off that frame. Thanks for your witty mind!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

You are welcome!

[@stephenking149]

Thanks for wxplaining this in a very simple way to follow,

[@RedfernFoodForest]

You're welcome!

[@gepliprl8558]

Nice why didn't I think about pipes! Good for my miniature orchids collections

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Miniature orchids? I've never heard of such a thing!

[@macdellajaa1317]

This is pretty cool

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks!

[@antiquegirl6505]

I like this idea, but I will use the idea to make a bigger covered fence for my raised bed garden. There are squirrels and groundhogs after my tomatoes, carrots, etc. Maybe after I get this made and use chicken-wire caging this summer, can use the framing and plastic next spring instead of cold-frames. Multi-purpose, yay! Thanks for the visual instructions!!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Multi-purpose! I love that idea!

[@VeganRocker3]

Thanks for this simple and to the point! I want to make an indoor greenhouse for my plant stand in my sunroom that has no heat. One cold night here in Ohio all my indoor plants died as I was in the hospital and couldn’t turn on my baseboard heater. I needed to make my own size to fit around my plant stand but everything was large fancy outdoor plans or the small outdoor ones used cement and all indoor ones were repurposed dressers or cabinets lol. I just needed a simple pvc greenhouse visual to make my own and yours helped so much! Thank you!!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

You're welcome!

[@eddydevillelowks9499]

Just made mine for a low price thanks and very eazy and clear instructions. Using this concept im gana make a slightly bigger 1 the 1.5 version 😆.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Glad it worked! Let me know how the larger version works out!

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

I built a version of this. Superb! Thanks.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@goodgirlsguide]

Very similar to those cheap plastic green ones with a plastic cover that get below away in the wind. You could also fill the pipes with sand to weigh them down. Also glue corrugated plastic to cover.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Definitely some similarities. But fully customizable!

[@MD-yx4ev]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

You're welcome!

[@fishycomics]

Nicely done, I watched quite a few, and made my own measurements, I chose to support mine due to the upcoming winters. and make it out of 1/2 than larger. I have the same HTC home depot plastic that i will RETURN, will make my own clips. and right now, the greenhouse is on protecting the plant, thanks again. did a nice job demonstrating. i am going to use plastic clear garbage bags that did not break down at all

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Sounds like a good idea! The plastic I used wasn't a good choice.

[@rosecreatorstudio]

Great idea! Thanks! I'll create a bigger one for my herbs

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Bigger is better!

[@naturallybeautiful2027]

Thank you so much for this video. Is was easy to follow and do. I added a few extra inches to make mine bigger because it is for my small dog. Again thank you.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Bigger is better!

[@frankfordification]

Got the same cutter. They work real well on 2 inch too.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

They are pretty useful

[@taranbam]

Thanks for sharing your amazing ideas

[@RedfernFoodForest]

You're welcome!

[@sunflower6434]

Thanks for the idea, it’s great cause you can make bigger or as small as you want, and .... you can dissemble it - when it’s not in use.....mmmm, thinking now of a walk in greenhouse ???

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Yes I've wondered about making it walk-in size!

[@tdeaux]

Clever, my man. Thank you.

[@escapefromny2012]

Thank you for saying the width of the pipe. So many videos don't and sometimes you can't tell by looking from a distance.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

You're welcome!

[@Black_Rose5102]

I need to do this but in a bigger size ,to protect my succulents from the rain and cold ...Thank you so much !

[@RedfernFoodForest]

If you make a bigger one let me know how it turns out!

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Superb. Thanks.

[@dimple.eatsss]

thank you for the vid! this was so simple to follow :D doing my own research rn for my hydroponics & would love to make a mini greenhouse too

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Awesome! Hydroponics sounds super cool but I'm not ready to commit!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks!

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Cool cold frame!

[@bellaasmr6711]

Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin finally got astronomical success with it.?

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks! It is simple but it works!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I have not, thanks for the info

[@katythriftyunder35homeowne57]

Just discovered your channel, thanks for this video! We are building our channel now too, I am excited to have found someone else who is getting started who has really great content. Best wishes- Katie, of the Thrifty Under 35 Homeowner Blog

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Thanks Katie! It's work but it's rewarding!

[@popcorn7657]

Thank you so much. I was trying to find a way to do my own frame. I like your scissor. My husband is not a handyman so i try by myself to figure it out. How much did it cost to make the frame only approx? Is Pvc pipes expensive? Merci

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I don't recall exactly, this was a couple of years ago. Probably $20-$40 USD depending on waste and what you choose for cover.

[@lauram5518]

Great video. I am now a subscriber!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Glad you enjoyed it - more to come in the future!

[@pandarush.]

Built mine and love it! How were u able to figure the lengths to cut so there'd be no waste???

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Math!

[@pandarush.]

@@RedfernFoodForest Math....I was miserable at it throughout school and worse now. Have a formula I can use? Thanks for making this video!

[@pandarush.]

@@RedfernFoodForest How about this...if I made the length 36", width 15", with same height as yours, how could I make it with no waste (give or take some inches as needed)? Thanks again!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Not off the top of my head sorry! I made this video a while ago...

[@shayb3733]

Have you tried making this in a larger scale, like 5’x5’? I want to make one of these and cover it with thin net(to keep bugs out), for my plants that don’t need pollinators.

[@mojojojo1095]

Looks more like a junkyard !

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

[@JoshuaLevy123]

4 sticks shoved in the ground and plastic sheet draped over the top would work too

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Good point!

[@DancingNotes95]

If I were to make this to keep indoors for a Vanilla bean plant, which requires high temp and humidity to produce Vanilla pods, how would you recommend I provide the heat and humidity to it?

[@RedfernFoodForest]

That question is beyond my knowledge to answer. But if you find out let me know because it would be awesome to have vanilla inside the house!

[@ailyhsaun]

What is the dimension of the garden this cold frame is to be used on? I am wondering as I am working with a 4ft by 8ft garden plot.

[@RedfernFoodForest]

The garden is much larger. This is just for a small plant or area.

[@superspecialty5169]

Man oh man, just show us the finished project, we can figure it out! Also, the snaps are there, I just bought 30 of them!

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Nice!

[@annisasatyanti1037]

How much temperature difference this can achieve?

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I'm not exactly sure. Depends on wind, clouds, etc. But it should help those borderline cases!

[@rubyewiggins4926]

You would need something to hold it down if there are high winds

[@RedfernFoodForest]

True!

[@osorios007]

CAN I TRIPLE ALL MEASURE AND GET SAME IDEA MUCH BIGGER, PL

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Most likely, yes.

[@holymowmusichd8229]

DO U KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH PVC PIPE I WOULD REQUIRED FOR 1 ACRE LAND POLYHOUSE ??

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Exactly? A lot.

[@holymowmusichd8229]

@@RedfernFoodForest CAN U PLS TELL ME IN FEETS ??

[@HELVIS.]

is the 1inch pvc tube & conectors expensive?

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Not really. There are some links in the description. Or you can check your local hardware store.

[@adarshguptak]

I thought you'll show how to cling plastic on pvc, but you said "voila" and u showed plastic just lying on top of pvc.. Funny guy🤣

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Yeah I ran out of time...oops!

[@dkvikramgaming3505]

Any Ryan school student here

[@RedfernFoodForest]

Eh?

[@chrisryckman1138]

You forgot to put a price of.pipe in the of the wall and the bottom of the roof

[@RedfernFoodForest]

I did?

[@alexjaworski2205]

How much ?

[@RedfernFoodForest]

How much did it cost to build? Very little, it's just PVC...maybe $10 - $15? Depending on the plastic you use for cover, and how much you buy, the cost will go up.
