We used the frame from the swingset to make a "makeshift greenhouse". Last year another DG member had the same idea....Joannabanana. We did ours a little different. We covered it in commercial grade (70 X 78") clear shower curtains from Wal-Mart ($5.67 approx each).
It took six. We used duct tape to connect the shower curtains, and fondue skewers in the holes where the rings normally go to help anchor it. I may have to go buy some real camping type stakes. It holds quite a few plants. We'll see how this works.

We still had to hang the shower curtains in the "hut" also, as not all of the plants would fit in the other one. At least now when it does freeze we're ready.
