Build a Small High Tunnel Greenhouse
Common materials and a few minutes of time is all you need to build a small greenhouse where you can get a head start on your garden. Gardener Peter Richards shows how to use PVC pipe, U bolts and a sheet of plastic to build a small 5x10 foot greenhouse. The greenhouse will keep tender plants from freezing on cold nights. After measuring the area, Peter drives pieces of 1” PVC pipe into the ground. Then ½” PVC pipe is slid into the pipes in the ground and bent into arches. Another piece of pipe attaches the arches together. A piece of plastic is put over the top and secured to the ground either with a piece of lumber or by burying the edge of the sheet.
