Building A Sliding Barn door on a High Tunnel Greenhouse

[@drockdrockdrock]

Jason. This is for your tractor. I hope more people will hit the thanks button and give you a buck as well. If all your viewers gave $1 you could buy your tractor! Love your stuff man. Watch all your videos and let all the adds play the whole way through as well. I know that helps you out a tiny bit each time. 😉 God Bless.

Hey we bought one of your excellent organic pasture raised turkeys! It was so yummy!!! A win for sure.

[@SowtheLand]

Good to hear! thanks so much!!

[@19Lou77]

@@SowtheLandSpeaking of fowls, will you be putting any animals/chickens in there to work the soil and keep the bugs 🐛 🐞 out? Marigolds are good pest repellents too.

You know if 20k subscribers gave you a dollar each you could go buy a nice little 24 horse tractor with a loader, start a tractor fund. your channel is worth a buck

By far my favorite homesteaders! Informational, neat and tidy without piles of junk and trash literally everywhere.

I feel the same. Especially the neat and tidy

I agree. I swear I say this on every video lol. I really, really appreciate how neat and tidy they keep their property.

My mum totally believed in that. How about putting it on a vision board. My felt if you thought about it enough, the universe goes to work getting it for you. That's how she got her sewing machine back in the 50s.

Lorraine is always so great full when you build something for her 🎉

[@carlapierle8623]

Oh, I DO hope you're able to get a tractor one of these days! I'll keep saying it! I always love seeing Lorraine's reaction. She's adorable!

[@soniaburpee7951]

Those pigs are always so excited to see you. Yes, you are there to feed them but that kind of a welcome would always make me smile.

Hey subscribers, hit that thanks button up there, give this great homestead family a dollar and let’s all buy them a 🚜tractor! 🚜 I enjoy these videos so much I’m willing to donate a couple bucks. ❤

Jason the Builder. He can BUILD IT😊 FANTASTIC work once again. Lorraine, you are blessed.

[@shod61]

You are so clever and resourceful with all of your builds. Better to plan things out and hopefully get it right the first time than have to fix and rebuild over and over. Love the way you keep everything so neat and tidy too. You all are my favorite homestead family!

[@MarthaLingerfelt-sj3rn]

Great job finishing up the greenhouse Jason. 👍

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Your design style , quality of build, and innovation, is AMAZING! I have watched 5 channels put ends on your is SO much better than any of the others I watched. Good Job Jason!

[@cassiebanks]

I love the way the greenhouse looks! That sliding door is wonderful! It's so nice you can build whatever creatively comes to mind. If I made a greenhouse for me I would put another block under the current one you use to open the window in case you only want the window halfway open because I'm that kind of girl temperature-wise. What would also be really cool would be to use those rubber mats they put in horse stalls for the walkway after you build the extra potting tables. I know those types of mats are too expensive, but I would think they'd provide more longevity, especially if you'll be running a wheelbarrow in and out. If I was rich, I'd send you some. That greenhouse looks spectacular!

[@debrezo58]

That door looks awesome! You are a genius Jason and can build anything! I knew Lorraine would love it too💖

[@pamelacrowell2007]

If you build wooden tables, you can have shelves under them for storage. That would be awesome!!

[@MsJuliah1]

Jason, you do such beautiful work! I love the sliding door.

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

You might flip that top vent because the hottest air is at the peak of the roof. If you put a vent on the opposite end down low and then have the vent as high as possible on the opposite and you will get the Venturi effect to cool off the high tunnel. Just a thought.

[@SowtheLand]

great tip! thanks!

[@gloriaoscar5055]

Your mind is always working. I am glad you are so talented and your wife is very appreciative and very practical. I am 78 so I can enjoy your accomplishments. God Bless!

I think it’s a great sliding barn door for the greenhouse and your air vent is perfect, nothing too complicated.👍👍

[@gaylewatkins4685]

This end of the greenhouse is awesome. Very good functionality and it also looks nice. Great job Jason! 👏👏👏

[@jasonhatfield4747]

Very nice side wall! I wish my hoop houses had sliding doors like that! So much more useful than swing open doors. Mostly because they don't blow shut as soon as you open them and you can leave them wide open in the heat of the summer. Nice work!

[@terryhenderson424]

A door on the end ofvthe high tunnrl,tunnel, was a more fun winter farm project that doing fences!

Well done with the sliding door! I agree with your strategy to take a break now with growing in the high tunnel and make your plans, do the bed improvements and you’ll be off to the garden races come Spring!

[@joannmahaffey1068]

I love those metal straps for the end wall. Yes Jason a window will take many degrees of heat out of there in the summer. Heat goes up. Just a hint ..never throw away wiggle wire. You are going to love the sliding door. Some day you will have a tractor.

[@19Lou77]

You are an absolute genius. I love all your work and I must admit this is the first video I’ve ever watched where somebody has a green house and the thing hasn’t blown down in a storm and you had one hell of a storm come through a few months back I’m so glad to see it didn’t get trashed in that storm. Well done to you Family ❤😊

The sliding door seems the best option. And it looks pretty darn good and definitely functional. You could always add a hd Uchannel for the bottom of the door to keep it straight

[@nctplarry]

FANTABULOUS, Jason!! Although I consider myself a fairly seasoned woodworker (taught Industrial Arts (AKA "Shop") back in the day and still do woodworking during my retirement, I am consistently blown away by your tenacity, foresightedness, and legit DIY methods for building things on your homestead. So, I'm sending some big old high fives (I'm only 6'5" tall, so I'll reach high to give your hand a good slap) for yet another job supremely well done, sir! ~Dr. Larry S.

[@Valerie_Dawn]

I like Lorraine's little Vanna White moment at the end. Jason, you may want to add another strip of wood at the top of the door opening to restrict rainwater and wind.

[@domesti-city]

By far my all time favorite greenhouse end wall! The simple elegance and function of the door and the vent are sublime. Good tools, good fences, and good structures make all the difference between drudgery and satisfying work.

Great job Jason!

[@wolffortenberry33]

I absolutely love the barn door! Also, I feel so validated by y’all showing and discussing the grass in the greenhouse. I spent a lot of time this past year setting up a large garden on new property, putting down cardboard and wood chips, but the grass (particularly running grass) absolutely took over about half of the garden no matter how much I tried to stay on top of it. I eventually gave up months ago and am now in the process of ripping out the old garden to put in raised beds for next year. I have felt like such a failure with the grass and hardly having anything to harvest. So, thank you for sharing both ups and downs along your journey. I’ve found it inspiring, encouraging, uplifting, and validating. Thank you.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Very nice . . . farmers all over the land will be proud of your inventive skill . . . Jason the farmer. Cheers . . . put a wind latch on the sliding door.

Not gonna lie, I'm digging the barn door for the greenhouse. Especially since we live in a very windy area, it'll help keep the door from slamming open or shut. Great job.

[@nancyseery2213]

We have started on our first hoop house. It's 20 by 32 and we do have the frame up. After doing the frame I gave my husband a 6 week vacation and we traveled the 12 states of the south and southwest of the USA. He needed and earned a nice vacation after he got done with the frame! After the first of the year, on a nice wind free day, we are going to put the plastic on. We (I) decided to go with zippers for our two doors. I hope our doors come out as nice as yours. God bless y'all and keep growing.

[@SowtheLand]

dang, 6 week vacation. sounds lovely

Excellent job! If I were to have a green house, this is what I'd like it to be. I Love the siding doors Jason❤

In ground area of water , maybe a little above ground , will help on the end , protecting from cold , you can also insulate water basin and heat it with small solar setup , sun as heater , water as heat storage
