Keep dreaming about your ideal cold frame. If you want something badly enough and honest enough then God will provide you with a way to get it!

@msdaigre This green house works well for me. This year I am going to use Visqueen from Discount Visqueen.com. It is thicker and is transparent. Should also hold up better to the elements. I am also going to use smaller and more flexible gauge pipe to make a smaller air space above my plants. If you get any snow, you might consider reinforcing with chicken wire and run some C7 xmas lights inside for extra warmth. Will post a video when it is complete. Thanks for watching! GAiL

Would it be possible to transform the hayloft of a barn into a green house in usda zone 4?

@Mremma14567 Chemically treated wood and some plastics should only be a concern if they are touching vegetables. This year, I am going to use clear 6 mil Visqueen that is designed specifically for greenhouses. The price is decent and it lasts longer than regular drop cloth plastic. Thanks!

Nice video. I’ve done a cold frame w/junque too. Mine utilizes wood instead of PVC and I’ve had to anchor it in the ground as the wind is extreme here sometimes. It was very nice to get some fresh veggies, but it hasn’t paid for it and the energy to do for that and the compost so far – we won’t go there.
I’ve also used plastic that a person uses to protect the floor when painting. But I’ve heard that some plastics and some woods are actually toxic. Any thoughts about that?

why didnt you pull the plastic tight and staple it. This might have cost you like $2 extra and would have added to the rigidity of the system, made for better and more even light transfer, and would have looked way better.
Cool little setup though.

@jcanivan Awesome! I have thought about a solar greenhouse for a long time, especially for my friends who live in snow country. Always looking for better ways to keep plants alive through the wintertime. GAiL

Nice Job Gail
Keep up the good work… When you get rich you might want to build a solar greenhouse with Suntuf and some 2×3’s

I love this idea! I’v already got my garden growing, but I’ll be sure to use this tent next time. Can you take the frame apart?
