Get clear plastic, 6 mil at a builder’s supply. It costs about $ 30. a hundred foot roll and will be enough to cover a small greenhouse with a double thickness that will last a couple of years. It is what I use on mine.

Somebody payed me to run an ad in the description of this video. After a few months they said that they didn’t want to continue because not many people clicked on their ad to buy a greenhouse. That makes my think that those people optioned to build their own. Also, the ad, more then payed for the supplies to build this greenhouse.

The most important thing is don’t put it in direct afternoon sun unless you want to create an oven. It would be best if you could put it in a location with morning sun. Most plants will do well with 4 to 6 hours of sunlight. You have other things to consider, are you only trying to start seedlings? Are you growing flowers, vegetables? What area of the country are you in. You could get help by doing a search for a Master Gardener. All you need to do is type in your state and Master Gardener to find one. They can tell you what will do well in your area of the country.
Even if you live in a cooler climate, you can grow some really nice flowering plants in a little greenhouse. In the afternoon you should open the door for ventilation if it is one of the really small ones with no windows.
Good luck!
