on a nice sunshiny 60' day, we set up my saw and installed the shelves. there was still snow on the ground in places.

some cross bars were installed from the front post to the back post, to support the shelving

the front and back posts at the other end were located in such a way that they could be attached to the roof rafter for extra support and sturdiness.

  1. Wow, that's a very nice greenhouse. What plants are you going to get started?

    1. just lettuce right now. i'm debating starting some peas too. it still gets really cold out there overnight, so only the veggies that can handle the near freezing temps at this point.
