Grow a garden year round, more or less. Plans for a relatively inexpensive dome greenhouse. [View all]

Directions here

This is built with 1 x 2's, inexpensive bolts and nuts, sheetrock screws, strap metal with holes in it. You can buy everything at a home center like Lowes or a good locally-owned hardware store.

It's covered with plastic sheeting. I am drilling pilot holes before putting the sheet rock screws in, it splits less that way.

I'm building one, attaching it my storage shed. I will paint the facing wall of that black to help hold heat in that building, and I am putting some empty large plastic drums inside (used to have car wash soap, now empty). Will fill those with water and paint them black, just for a little heat storage during the day. It is not far from the back door, so if I need it I could string a small electric heater.

Thought maybe someone might find it useful.
