I’ve watched a ton of greenhouse videos, this one was so well done. Informative and a nice pace. Thank you.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to say that. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

[@maggiep8789]

Wow what an incredible job!! Love that you built the greenhouse on top of your raised beds in combination with the foundation . So smart! My husband and I just built the sungrow 26 in the fall. I would love to do something like this with the rocks around it ❤

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Thank you! Luckily I had the vision from the moment we decided to purchase the greenhouse. And my husband is a VERY handy man, thank goodness! He made it happen.

Lots of patience and care put into the planning and installation of this greenhouse. The result is both beautiful and functional. I will be following in your footsteps. Thank you for sharing the journey.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you found inspiration in my greenhouse journey. If you ever have any questions or need advice along the way, feel free to reach out. Best of luck with your own greenhouse project, and may it be just as beautiful and functional as you envision!

Hi! Thank you for such an informative video on how to build a proper greenhouse foundation. The final product looks great. Can you tell me, was the placement of your rebar in the concrete set at random or does it correspond with the design of the green house? Thanks

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Thank you! Those are called all-thread rods, rather than rebar. They have threads, like a bolt. We placed them in locations that worked to accommodate the door openings and according to the length of the boards to which they would be attached. We planned what boards would go where so everything would line up--some were 8 footers and some 10 ft long. We used washers and nuts to attach to the first layer of boards which were 2x6's, then attached the 6x6's (2 layers, staggered) to those. We had to notch out the bottom of the 6x6's where the rods were sticking up. We had to figure it out as we worked through it, really. I hope that makes sense. If not, please let me know.

THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO, this is what i have in mind when the time arrives for me to do this, lol, i have thought of how to do this but your vid just shows what i had in mind thank you muchly

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

I’m so glad it helped! I hope everything goes well!

[@craigallenbeckett]

Great video, perfect pace and info content. Did the clear tape you used between the panels come with the kit, ie is it UV/heat resistant?

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Thank you so much. That is a great question and I'm glad you asked. The tape we used primarily came with the kit, but it is very poor quality. I wholeheartedly recommend using clear Gorilla tape for everything. We didn't because we were afraid it was too thick, but many others have made the switch and it seems to be working much better to prevent leaks. We plan to change it over the years.

[@gail7998]

Very nice!!! What directions do your doors face?

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

@@gail7998 thank you! The doors are facing east and west.

[@gail7998]

@@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn thank you!!!

[@SherryLynnKnowles]

Looks wonderful! From the start to the finish, how long did this take to out up?

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

Thanks! We were not able to work on it consistently so it was really spread out. The span of this video was May through October. But we spent about 4 weeks on the actual structure. I would guess that if we had both worked on it full time, it would have taken a few weeks for everything.

[@E.ssential]

What was your method for attaching the bigger wood pieces and securing them together? I've watched that part of the video a few times and can't tell what you've done. I would love to do this for my sungrow urban 10x13. I bought it over a year ago and have yet to build it because I'm overwhelmed.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

We drilled holes half way through the top boards and used long lag screw/bolts to secure them to the bottom boards. I can't remember the length but I think maybe 6 inches, and about every 2 feet. Just remember to mark them so you know where they are during the remaining construction. We used blue painters tape to keep track of them until we finished.

[@E.ssential]

@@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn Thank you so much!

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

@@E.ssential Sure thing! Feel free to ask questions anytime! It was very overwhelming in the beginning. It was very helpful to watch the Planta assembly videos here on KZbin. We viewed them before starting each task and referred to them often. The written directions are fine, but not nearly as helpful as the videos.
