| It will have to be a pretty tall greenhouse to hold the 35 ft pine trees. Why do you want to build a green house around them? |

| I think she is saying that she wants to build the greenhouse WITHIN the pine trees not around them. |

Paulette -- sounds to me like you mean a big box out of the windows. Not a foundation, permanent greenhouse. Something you could move (with help). I've seen one in a person's yard and they do look cute sitting under the trees. Anyway, I tried searching around online and couldn't find anything. Maybe you can find someone who does wood-working to help with this. Lucky you having the windows already! :D

| Paulette, What kind of green house are you looking for? The kind that attaches the outside of a window or one that you can walk into? We are just guessing on what you want. Let us know and we will look for plans for you. |

| Won't it be rather shady in amongst the pine trees? |

Sounds lovely. It would definitely be decorative more than functional, unless you grow shade loving plants in it.
Something I thought of to make it more "portable" - perhaps use piano hinges to connect the windows -- make a collapsing box of sorts. It would take some planning and figuring, but it might work.
Just a thought... |

Hey everyone ! This is Paulette and I want to thank every one of you who responded to my questions about how to build a miniture greenhouse out of old windows. Every response was a HELP! :D I`ve decided that this is something I`m going to have to figure out for myself , although piano hinges sounds like a pretty good idea. I`m pretty handy with tools and trying to figure this out will give me something to do on those dreary days when I can`t be outside. :( Everyone think spring! :wink:
THANKS AGAIN Quote: SPRING IS GODS WAY OF WAKING UP THE WORLD. |
