FB marketplace has free (15') trampolines that I upcycled into a greenhouse. I used polycarbonate panels to enclose the greenhouse and attached the panels with self-tapping screws. The front door is a salvaged storm door from a remodel; it has a built-in sliding glass screen for ventilation. This is my first growing season with this greenhouse so hopefully it works out well. The raised beds are made from cedar fencing. Total cost of build is about $800.

Nice job Jesse. Does it clear 6 feet inside?

Many small greenhouses that I've looked at are only 10ft wide, which doesn't give much room for having both paths and beds. I can see that more like 14ft of useable space in what you built would be great. About what is the width at the top of your raised beds?

yes, it is over 6' high in the center and is 15' wide and the raised beds are 24" wide by 7' long. My mistake was putting the center herb garden too close to the door. If I move it back 12" I can fit the wheelbarrow inside the path area. Now that the beds are filled with soil I don't need use the wheelbarrow inside.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
