Built my Cacti a Greenhouse

Took me long enough to get to a point where I am finished enough to post it. I just added the corner post trim last weekend. Still need to run power out there and install some lights. I’ll seal around the top before it gets winter.

I’m very proud of the greenhouse I built, as I am a mechanic. Not a carpenter. I learned so much while doing this and have definitely gave myself more confidence in my building abilities. Had a fellow Redditer help me pick up those 14’ 6x6s and place them on top of the 6 6x6s I set in the ground, with 2 80lbs bags of concrete per pole. I didn’t want it to ever come up 😂

Greenhouse is 12x24 10’ on the high side and 8’ on the lower side. All polycarbonate panels on the roof and sides. Have 2 18” fans inside with a 24” exhaust fan on the high end. Have water piped inside. I made the “slab” by compressing 8 tons of road base inside those 2x6s around the base.
