A while back I shared a picture of the frame for this little green house. These photos are from a few months back, as well (now there's a lot more green in there, and clutter) I have roll-up sides, with a simple t-connector crank, a bed on the south side and a shelf on the north for seedlings. It's been working great so far, and made it through the worst ice storm we've had in 40 years. So I'd say success.

I'll try to remember to take more pictures next time I'm in the garden.

That is awesome! We were stoked when you shared that first photo a few months back. Glad to see it’s finished and working out great! 🤙

Awesome build! What did you use to attach the plastic sheeting?

Anthony Artese I stapled it to the framing around the door, and at 3 ft up the other three sides, used pvc clips for the roll-up bars and top. And then tied it down with parachord to be sure

Awesome job! I too have made a greenhouse frame. I wanted to do roll up sides. Do you mind sharing how you used the t-connector to build the crank?

Monica Burton I wish I could figure out how to embed an image in a comment. But you can kind of see the handle I made in the second picture. It's very simple, just 2 pieces of roughly 6 in pipe scrap to make an off-set handle to turn the pipe that the plastic is clipped to. Then at the top I just loop a bit of rope around the handle to keep it in place.
Hope that made any sense at all
