Customer Project
Model: 1632-2 - Greenhouse

Comments:

“This is my second Arched Concepts project. I changed the way the arched trusses were attached to the posts making it a much stronger building than the first barn I built. I stained all of the trusses to protect the wood from the sun and covered it with a 6 mil greenhouse film from teksupply.com. ” – J. D. Linscott

Project Log:

Task Name Approx. Labor Hrs. Notes
Prepare Site - Leveling 15 Dug into the bank to provide a bit of winter insulation.
Layout Hole Locations 2 Used string for the layout process.
Dig Holes 5 Because of the glacial till, I wasn’t able to just dig holes so I dug a ditch where the walls were going to be. The ground here is like digging in a sandbox – one shovel full out, two fall in.
Build Arched Trusses 16 Build arched trusses in the shop. Reworked the tooling for more consistency.
Corner Posts 4 Put the corner posts up and braced them with 2" x 4"'s.
Mid Posts 15 Put up and braced the middle wall posts.
Truss Installation 4 Changed the way the trusses were attached to the posts. Much better than the first barn.
Purlins 1 Used 2" nylon straps for the purlins.
Gravel Floor 2 Brought the gravel floor up to the bottom of the PT Splash board.
End Framing/Finishing 10 We finished end framing on both ends.
Side Wall Covering 8 Put up the 2" x 6" and 1" x 4" red wall boards.
Cover Installation 6 Installed the plastic on the front and back, then installed the cover over the main section. Attached the plastic by rolling up the ends in short pieces of ¾” pvc tubing, by screwimg the tubing to the structure.
Install Front Doors 3 Installed a storm door for the entrance. Really looks great!
