To assemble the average greenhouse, you'll need a basic tool kit which may include but not be limited to a hammer, screwdriver and power drill. The plans you select should tell you exactly what tools and supplies you are going to need. If you choose a greenhouse kit, it will come with plans and all the parts necessary for construction. The only thing it will not come with is the tools, but most people have the necessary tools at home.

Before you begin, make sure you have all your materials close by. If you have one or more people to help you, construction will go even faster. The first part of construction is setting up your stakes, which should be as straight as possible and placed approximately three feet apart on either side. Then, set up each separate hoop. The hoops fit nicely over your stakes as long as the stakes are a bit smaller in size. The last step before wrapping the greenhouse is to apply the ridge line. The ridge line helps provide for a stable foundation. Finally, you will need to wrap your greenhouse. Tags: Build Your Own Hoop Greenhouse
