DIY backyard greenhouse build. All of the lumber in this greenhouse (except the pressure treated 4x4 base and cedar skirting) is from ripped down 2x6 boards from a deck demolition. I chose the shed roof to maximize sun exposure. It’s 12’x8’

The main cost is the plastic panels. I went with a higher-end polycarbonate product, but you could probably cut some cost if you buy the cheaper stuff at a big box store.
