Building a folding greenhouse for your raised garden is an excellent way to protect your plants from harsh weather, extend the growing season, and provide a controlled environment for your garden. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Materials Needed:
- Wood or PVC pipes (for the frame)
- Clear plastic sheeting (greenhouse plastic or polycarbonate panels)
- Hinges (for the folding mechanism)
- Clamps or hooks (to secure the greenhouse when closed)
- Screws and nails
- Saw (for cutting the wood or PVC)
- Drill
- Measuring tape
- Weatherproof sealant (optional)
Step 1: Plan Your Greenhouse
- Measure your raised garden bed: Determine the length, width, and height of the greenhouse. Make sure it’s tall enough to accommodate the tallest plants you’ll grow.
- Design the frame: A simple A-frame or hoop design works well. For a folding mechanism, the greenhouse should have two panels or sections that can pivot on hinges.
