Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I decided to put boxing on the front of the roof to match the back.
I finished the front and started on the roof.

Getting closer to having the front roof done. Only two more sheets for the front roof.
It is starting to look like a greenhouse.

yes it is

Yep, getting real close Mark

Getting a little closer. I still need to trim the left side and the top needs a 7-8” piece across the top. I will have to cut an angled piece 2 x 6 to go against the ridge beam to fasten the profile to.



I have started on the west side.

Some more progress.

The front roof is done.



The west side done all except the bottom vent.



I have started on the back vents. Once I have the top roof vents framed in I can put OSB on the roof.


I staged up the next two roof vents this mooring.

I made the greenhouse 2’ bigger than my first plan so there was no gravel in front of the grow bed. There was some grass growing there.

We put down cardboard boxes then landscaping fabric.

I bought 1 ton crusher run and they boys and I put it all around the inside foundation. We put it in front of the grow bed. We did this in 1 ½ hours not too bad. The boys are off school so it worked out good.

This should help seal out the small amount of air that could come under the 4 x 6 foundation and foam insulation and hopefully stop that grass from growing.

I had to get this done before I put in the vents.

I spent the whole day working on the greenhouse. Those 10 foot OSB sheets were hard to get on the roof by myself. At least it was not windy.

This is looking really good. Next Friday we have a planning meeting in the school for a new greenhouse. Your built has given me some very good ideas.

@gnoib Thanks.

I put up the rest of the OSB. I am now installing Grace Ice and water underlayment on the roof. I am about ½ done.

When I am all done Grace Ice and water underlayment will cover all the OSB.

Picture of the reflection of the sky looks very cool. Good work...you're almost there.

I finished up the Grace Ice and water underlayment on the roof. Just in time it started to rain just as I finished.






I did the flashing in the door jam and the door is hung. It swings very nice.




I spent a lot of time on the greenhouse the last three days it nice to work on it for a block of time and get some stuff done.

Very nice! Your build is similar to one of the 3 plans floating around in my head for my future greenhouse build.

I used up the last of the treated 2 x 6's and the last two 2 x 8’s. I ripped the 2 x 8 down to 2x 6 size.
I needed that small piece for the back boxing anyway.
I build box to hold the three layers of XPS insulation.


I put up one more layer XPS insulation before dark.






I picked up my white roof metal. I just bought 21' sheets I have so many different lengths I am just going to cut it all as I install it.

I cut mine all at one time with a circular saw. The worst noise I've ever heard in my life. Need ear protection.
