Greenhouse: Made a Greenhouse out of an old 'Garage Tent' Frame, 3 by kathiesgarden

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share an idea my husband came up with for building a greenhouse out of mostly reused materials. We had the framework from an old Costco tent (the fabric had blown away in a ferocious wind storm the previous winter.) We stacked landscaping blocks in a U shaped pattern large enough to place the tent posts into. Then we filled the inside of the stacked area with some gravel for drainage, then soil. To make the frame strong, we supported it with 'hat-track' and then attached clear corrugated poly sheets to the outside. We had an old window and an old door from a remodel project and added them. Voila! It is a three season greenhouse because we have temperatures below freezing in the winter here. I am just beginning to learn how to use it, and look forward to both my mistakes and my successes. (I usually learn more from my mistakes than what I do right)
Great gardening to all of you.
