3 HFGH Together

13 years ago

Well I"m Going to do it. We're taking down the dogwood tree so I can add another GH to the 2 that are hooked together and are up and running. Husband says that I'm crazy but he knew that a ling time ago. Hope that HF has a $599.00 sale soon. But I have alot of work to do first.

Take plenty of pics please! :)

I'm so envious LOL

I think if you do a google search on Harbor Freight 20% off coupon, you can get a printable coupon to take with you. I found it last week and it's probably still there. It was good until sometime in December I believe.

Hi, I purchased a HFGH but it is still in the box. I found that 20% off coupon on line too. I found out about it from the growingyourgreens guy on youtube. So it was 20% off the sales price. It was $559.99 plus $35 tax. I picked it up at the nearest store in Attleboro MA. We just had a Nor'easter here in the Boston area so I will make sure to do all the recommended mods to strengthen it so it doesn't blow away. This blog has great info on the HFGH hfgh10x12.blogspot.com/2007/08/this-is-greenhouse-we-bought-link-it.html. If you start thinking about taking down your house to make room for another greehouse you know you have a problem.

Ray, Your pictures are great! My DH and I saw the 10 x 12 GH for sale in the HF magazine for the first time today, so I've been reading this thread and others with much enthusiasm. How do you feel about your HFGH now? I was feeling discouraged after reading other posts, but after seeing your detailed pictures and instructions feel that we can tackle this and be quite satisfied.

my email was changed sorry. i never did take out the end panels its cheaper to heat one during the winter.mine are just butted back to back.you can just rivet flat aluminum on the joints if you want to remove the inside walls but i dont think its worth it.just pop out the center panels and seal up the gaps there.there is an advantage to leaving them stock they will be esier to move,sell,clean,keep at diffrent temps ,one can be used for propagating with mist or what and the most important one ever is a 400 hundred dollar electric bill insted of 800 dollar bill. rob

dave i just use auto openers and cheap clearence fans,cheap heaters,and cheap gutter cables.i did put a line of misters down the ridges and it works great when it warm and sunny but i need to adjust them better.extra clips are the way to go.this fall i will do some alterations to make it cheaper to heat. i will take out the poly from the roof and walls on the north side and double them on the south side with an trapped air space like a thermal window.and insulate the north wall as much as i can.i also want to insulate the floor better.maybe one of those clearence blue flame heaters will see.oh yeah the doors are a pain i might put hinges.i will post pictures when i do it. heres a tip dont buy anything unless your sure you need it like an automated super duper fan with shutters if your just starting plants and extending your season or build any thing that cant be moved quickly out of the house its very small and you will probaly want to move things around depending on the season.good luck. rob

2 HFGH 10X12 Now Together

After the base was done and squared the second time. (DH doesn't like it when I check his work. But how can I work if it's not right.) It only took me one day. But I have a lot of experience on putting GH together. This is the 5th one. The first one was ACF, it was the large "Little GH". It taught me a lot and lasted through all the hurricans a few years ago. After that I got a Julian 7X9. Still have that. Two years ago I got the 6X8 HFGH, still have that. Last year I got the first 10X12 HFGH. Liked how high it was so deside to try to put two together when the weather cooled down. Can't add anymore, no more room.
