It's sure nice seeing Gary and Marge again. And that you're helping each other out with projects again. Nice job everyone. You have a beautiful store Marge and Gary.

[@davidhenry7625]

Hello Sue

[@Average1212]

some tips, have someone inside the greenhouse with a pipe(with a rag or glove on the end) to poke the plastic when it sticks. If you are installing second layer for double polly put a fan or big leaf blower between the two layers as you pull it will make your life 1000X easier.

Hello Barb

[@jeanburgin160]

Yes, this year I've put a chicken coop (from Texas, a kit) in my backyard and next week my greenhouse will be here. It is coming from Arkansas and it is pre-built. Pretty excited. I'm creating a Potager in my backyard. I'm going to have six chickens ... I'm in a suburb in Kentucky. Love learning from you all. Gary and Marge's granddaughter is lovely and so sweet. Nice way for Paige to celebrate her birthday with grandparents and helping... They have such nice things in the shop!

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

Gary is so smart! The tennis ball trick is brilliant. How wonderful to have great friends that work together. I wish their store was closer, I will have to make a day trip sometime and bring my pocketbook!

[@leahwhiteley5164]

I'm thinking of driving up there, too. I'm sure I can find something I need to support Gary and Marge.

Everyone needs a greenhouse. The bigger the better. Even a hoophouse or small greenhouse, you should do it. Wiggle wire to help keep plastic tight, longer lasting.

Great job everybody! Team work makes the dream work. God Bless! Carmen

[@canadianfarmer6870]

I love to see Gary and Marge too, they are both wonderful people. I wished I could buy something from them, but if I ever make it to Troy I will sure visit them. Did you ever look at artic acres greenhouse domes? They have no plastic so no repeat building every year. Their green houses look amazing and are supposed to work year round.

[@carolm7828]

Great video Doug and Stacy!🥰. I love how y’all all work together to achieve your goals!😁. I’ve been telling people to get greenhouses for many different reasons! To protect from the aerosol spraying going on and also many areas in the country are/will experience drought and therefore causing unwanted pests! And to also get there own water catchment system! It is Wonderful seeing you Gary and Marge!🥰. And your Granddaughter is a helper for sure!😁🥰. I love when one generation can teach and pass down Helpful Survival Skills and Good Morals!🥰. Many continued Blessings to y’all and all your followers!💖

Doug that's the smart end of the tape, you never get blamed if it's the wrong measurement!!! ✌

[@janetfinerfrock2522]

Oh, my Friends, Thank uou for the memories!! I was co-owner of a family greenhouse business for 30 years. Not an easy job. We used Stuppy Greenhouses built for snow-belt regions. Wonderful company to work with. Our plastic went to the ground to attach on both sides, we didn't open or raise the sides. So many different types now. I have enjoyed watching this today. Thank you for sharing! Blessings from West Virginia! 🌹

[@davidhenry7625]

Hello Janet

[@DunnDifferent]

I’ve done this a few times. Here in central Oklahoma the constant wind is usually 20-40mph and it makes putting one of these up a bit**. I cut the plastic about 50% wider than I need and then anchor it on one side before pulling it over so that the wind doesn’t make it a sail. I use the excess plastic to wrap some old tires and then fill them with water. With this method I can pull up my 35x25 greenhouse by myself in around a half day. I’ve never tried the tennis ball idea but I definitely will next time. Great video!

[@feebuzz]

Love you Stacy!

[@StoneKathryn]

Wow, that's a lot of work to put up a temporary greenhouse. Thanks for showing all these steps. That is definitely a team effort! That was so cool that their grandaughter came to help with putting up the greenhouse on her birthday! Nice store! Thanks for this Doug and Stacy!

[@idablythe4847]

We use 2 different plastics for our 30x80 with roll down side. One plastic protects plants from uv so plants do better. We pull 2 up at once. We can also gain 3 years of life of plastic to re tighten plastic. Puts wiggle wire in different spots so it won’t tear.

[@Bubbles1823-f7f]

That tennis ball trick is genius!! Rope break! Hahaha well done guys thanks for sharing. I always wondered how they did this

[@denniscleveland669]

I’m thinking, if you get a roll up side one, you can frame in some screens on the sides for pest control as well. Then you have a safe place to grow squash.

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

Great team work

[@terresiagregg9326]

Great job

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

NEXT TIME - put one person inside with a leaf blower to blow air under the plastic as it crosses framing members. That lets the sheet float on a bed of air and prevents snags and tears plus, it's fast and fun!

[@leahwhiteley5164]

Brilliant idea!

[@marthaadams4393]

WOW, just what I needed right now - my old cover is in tatters. I have the new plastic (what was the mm of the plastic you used?) and am ready to go.

[@greglewis8041]

I think Glass is a better long term Idea. I have seen so many green houses that have plastic flopping in the wind, Enid, Oklahoma, glass I know is more expensive but so is Lexan.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

You don't have wind, you have F1 breezes. 😄

[@MrPossumeyes]

I worked for a greenhouse/stand-off shelter manufacturer for a number of years. Our plastic was sold with a 5 year pro rata warranty and could be expected to last 10 years. Spoke with one customer with his house on a very high wind site whose skin had been up for 11 and it was still ok but was thinking he might have to replace it "before long"; he'd popped in to our office to check on prices. As you say - glass is expensive, lasts a long time but is fragile; plastic ages with UV and WILL have to be replaced, but is easy to patch if punctured - also, in the first year or two will need re-tensioning as summer heat causes stretching to the film, and this can cost too. Also, the plastic was sensitive to various horticultural sprays, specially copper, which could dramatically reduce the lifespan of the film (and tests on failed film could easily reveal the use of said spray/s - meaning no warranty claim). So the customer must weigh the costs and consider preferences (dumping a LOT of plastic every 10 years? Flying stones from mowing tasks?) before construction of the framework.

[@xandersons]

good Job!
