I made a greenhouse out of old windows and doors, and 100% reclaimed wood that I got locally for FREE! I look forward to sowing vegetable seeds and more here for my allotment garden... things are coming along nicely! :)

Hi again...I wondered if you could make a bug hotel sometime?! They are very expensive to buy! but I'm sure fairly straightforward to make...just need to get the frame right. I have two little grandsons who would be fascinated by one I'm sure! Thank you !!

What a fantastic garden and greenhouse. You truly showed the ability to repurpose and build a bespoke, unique (and all the wonderful social media words) greenhouse. I love the colours too. Thanks for sharing. Jane

@sandrinefresne6575 2 года назад

We have built our greenhouse from recycled double glazed windows . It is bigger than yours . One problem though… your doors are like mine and they are not made to withstand the rain… the heat in summer then the rain prevent them from closing properly so we are constantly trying to shave the top or the bottom . We think we need a gutter system above the front door. But isn’t it great to build your own ? Well done and happy growing .

@tommydaviesx 2 года назад

Brilliant, was it an easy build? :) Not sure about yours but I think as long as they've got a good seal around the windows and sealed wood they should be pretty stable, are yours sealed around the windows? Yes exactly! Even if the doors warp its still well worth it couldn't agree more!! :D

@tommydaviesx 2 года назад

@krickette5569 2 года назад

Think of it this way, you used plastic as the roof of a green house that will allow you to grow your own food. By growing your own food you go to the market/store less which means less fuel used, less plastic and paper to wrap and bring your groceries home in and this will be repeated for years to come as you continue to use your greenhouse.

@tommydaviesx 2 года назад

Very true. Thats the sort of reasoning that I used as well... You've given me the reassurance now that I wasn't just justifying it falsely!! :D

@HouseFairyDIY Год назад

They're glazed doors apart from at the back. I will have double glazed doors that open out. It's a big greenhouse and a bit nerve-wracking! Fingers crossed it turns out ok.

@homestead_diy Год назад

We just finished our Greenhouse. We used old windows and doors too. You did a very nice job.

@homestead_diy Год назад

and yes, we used the same looking Plastic roofing panels. Wasn't my favorite option either. But they do the job. We get hail here, so I was afraid of having glass for roofing panels.

@tommydaviesx Год назад

Yeah and the cost of glass for the roof as well - it’s sometimes the best choice but it is what it is!!!

@seasonalbackyardplanter8253 2 года назад

Love your greenhouse build. Amazing you managed to build yours without spent too much. The paint colours are just fun and playful. I have been collecting materials to build my own greenhouse from 15 plane pannel doors. I have mixed feelings about the build, i am both excited and apprehensive as I am only a novice at building things.

@tommydaviesx 2 года назад

Thank you so much!! Sounds like you're nearly ready to start? In my experience with everything you make, whatever skill level you're at, by the time you've finished the build, you'll be a lot more prepared for the next one and probably want to change a lot about how you built the last one too - so may as well go for it now!!

@IrisIJland 7 месяцев назад

Hi Tommy, I absolutely adore your way of building this greenhouse however I do have one question: How did you make sure it would be capable of withstanding all weather conditions and not literally be blown away by a storm for example? I'd love to make my own recycled greenhouse on my roof terrace but the foundation is something I didn't quite figure out yet. Nonetheless thank you so much, it's a really brilliant video!

@NoreenHegarty 6 месяцев назад

It;s in a sheltered back garden so I think there wont be a problem when the winter storms come.

@NoreenHegarty 6 месяцев назад

I have been given a present of 7 old patio doors. They are made from PVC double glazed and very heavy. My dream is to use them to build a glass house. Do you think I should buy 6x6 inch thickness of pre treated timber to use in the four corners to support the doors? Also should I use 4 x2 's for a base ?
