This is the one you want
Just starting my greenhouse this spring, and this book is great. I bought another one at the same time for about the same price, but the B&D book is so much better and more comprehensive that the other one will probably end up in a garage sale after one quick reading. If you're building a greenhouse, this is the guide to have. Highly recommended.

Great projects, but cut lengths were off.
We decided to start with the seed shelf first and the cuts were unfortunately inaccurate. It's a quick fix, but frustrating because I was using this plan to tech my children some basic carpentry. I'll be double checking all cuts before making any other projects. The book had the shelf length cuts at 50" when it should have been 48" like the plywood.

No es como pensaba que iba a ser el libro, muy general, planos de por si para construir no hay mucho, solo ideas vagas.

Not just greenhouses but lots of other garden structures for growing things. This book is excellently laid out with great photos and info. I thinks it’s the best of its type.

Many years ago my house had a greenhouse on the property, and I grew all kinds of favorite veggies, flowers, and some fruit in there. However, with travel taking over my life, and a lack of maintenance, the greenhouse didn't get used, started to fall apart, and had to be dismantled a decade ago. But I never lost the desire to put in a replacement. With the shutdown in travel dur to coronavirus, I started thinking about greenhouses again, and bought this B&D book to see what they had to suggest (I have quite a few other books in the B&D series, and they are all good!). The book helped me decide what type of structure I want, and gave me information on a pad, construction, and maintenance. In the end, I ended up buying a greenhouse from a hardware store instead of building one myself, but the info in this book was great in helping me set things up properly with a pad, electrical, and water. Little things like orientation, shelving, ventilation and so on were all explained. While I have yet to get through a complete season, I would not have the greenhouse set up properly without this book.
