"I'm Putting Something Up to Last" | YourGreenhouses Customer Story

Jeff's neighbors pay $300 to $400 for plastic greenhouses that the wind blows down. He set his in concrete, buried geothermal pipes underneath it, and plans to anchor it into the ground with 8-foot rods. Built for a region that's seen 44 inches of snow fall in a single day, twice within one week - "I'm putting something up to last." Jeff is a retired utility worker in Ilion, New York, where lake-effect snow off the Great Lakes can bury the ground overnight. This is his first-ever greenhouse, built after years of losing his garden to woodchucks, and this is his story in his own words. This video is for anyone losing a garden to pests, weighing a cheap greenhouse kit against something built to last, or wondering what it actually takes to build one from the ground up.
