The Build Process

Weed Barrier

Optional: Install landscape fabric prior to installing ground posts. It is recommended that
you line the perimeter of the greenhouse 1' inside and 4' along the outside with
landscape fabric so that you will prevent erosion from the water the greenhouse sheds,
and so you don't have to mow or use a weedeater next to your greenhouse!
Accidentally throwing debris through your greenhouse plastic is a surefire way to get
holes in your plastic!

Cutting Ground Posts

*Not required with Ground Post Add-On
To expedite the setup process for your high-tunnel greenhouse, prepare all ground
posts in advance. You'll need 1 ⅝" fence line posts for this project, which are readily
available at large hardware stores and may be listed as terminal posts. You can also
buy pre-cut 16-gauge ground posts at 48" length, pre-drilled for easy hoop attachment.
