My temporary shadehouse

Post by **CoronaCactus** » Tue May 20, 2008 11:34 pm

We're having the house painted this week and have had to move all our potted plants away from the house walls and from under the porch. We completely used up all the space in our front courtyard under the big pine tree and So i constructed a very temporary shadehouse. I know it looks like crap

i used scrap wood from the garage. Took like 2 hours to build, but it does the job! This is actually where our greenhouse will be once the painters are done

Total cost: $30 for a roll of 75% shade cloth.

I would have rathered 50% or 60%, but this is all Home Depot had and it's actually pretty good quality.

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder, how i keep from going under...

Doesn't look bad for a quick carpenter job.
Yep, looks like a jungle

Don't push it...very close to the edge.

LOL, haven't heard that song in a long time.

Pretty good for only two hours of work!

So what is holding your garage up now?

Just kidding, looks great. It's amazing how when your plants all in one place it looks like way too many. But when they are spread out in their normal places it looks like you need a few more!

Thanks for being nice

It's a horrible indication of my building skills, as i litterally slapped it together...but ya, it'll do for a week or 2.

Yup, very old song...lol
Don't push me, cause i'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head... uh uh
(too late, i've lost it!)

Very true Tim!
If i can just get that last push to get rid of the grass...

That was my re-interpretation of Grandmaster Flash lyrics for your slightly rickety-looking shadehouse

Maybe that was obvious!

Dont build it too nice Daiv, My "temporary homemade greenhouse" Has been up and running for like 5 or 6 years.
Sometimes I wish it would just up and fall apart so I would have to bite the bullet and fork out the cash on a nice one.
