I recently finished building my 6'x12' greenhouse, and I was very pleased with the plans that I purchased! The most helpful for me was having the exact amount of lumber and parts needed, and the ease of use for shopping at home depot to get everything you might need for the build! The easy cut plans made it easy to efficiently use all of the lumber, with very little material waste! The step by step guide for the build was also very convenient and easy to use. From creating the foundation, to each wall, roof, windows, and door, the plans were a great resource to have in getting started on the build! For my space, I was able to change things around easily and effectively. I had never done a build like this before, and the plans gave me the knowledge and confidence to get started and to be successful in my build!

The plans are very thorough with all the details I will need to build the greenhouse. Also, I asked questions ahead of time regarding reducing the size of the greenhouse and Gyro was very responsive and helpful. I love the list of building materials needed which helped me estimate the total cost of materials ahead of time.
