Food once a week is fine. It's the daily ration of beer and grog that would break your bank. And continually having to hire new serving wenches, when they 'leave town'.

I saw one of those at Lowes and looked at it. Not a bad thing to have.

I'll be building something similar this fall, to go with my cold frame.

“I saw one of those at Lowes and looked at it. Not a bad thing to have.”

It's only $40. The box was waiting for me inside so I didn't think of seeing if there was one put together outside.

It says no tools are required to put it together. I'll start tomorrow inside to construct it until I have to move outside. Some people says they are so nice, they keep them in the house to put house plants on or put other things in them. Mine has to be outside in the sun. I've got seeds on the way. One customer said when all her seeds are grown and planted outside, she puts dirt in low pottery bowls, sit several in the greenhouse and plants lettuce seed, eats the lettuce and keeps planting more seed in the bowls through fall. Says that keeps bugs out of the lettuce so wash off the dirt and eat.

My next project is a “Chicken Tractor” ... I used to have 28 Chickens (free range) then the Hawks discovered me, my 30 Ducks met the same fate (and the Ducks were so cool, they are just much harder to start (labor intensive) from ducklings)

5 or 6 Chickens at first and then work my way back up to ducks again... Chickens for Production and the Ducks were / are just moving landscape enhancement. (and I only had to mow my lawn about twice a year!)

I bought one of those last spring.
It has a couple problems.

First, what it describes as Heavy Duty plastic, well, not so much. The plastic on mine is now (after being set up a year) stretching a bit and I think the UV light is starting to take it’s toll.

Second, DO NOT put weighty items on the top shelf. I had a couple bottles of fish fertilizer and Round up, that kind of stuff on the top shelves and the thing is now leaning a bit.

Besides for that, it’s pretty good! I can still use it as a greenhouse, I just moved the heavier stuff to the bottom shelf. It is easy to assemble. If I need to, I can add some 1X1’s to sturdy it up.

But I think long term, the plastic simply won’t last which is a darn shame, because the zipper setup is very nice!
