This video will show you how to install a DIY shade house greenhouse using a shade cloth, twine, wooden poles, poly wire, wood guard, deformed iron bars, tying wire and nails.
Shade house greenhouses or shade cloth greenhouse are cheaper, more durable and better than other forms of greenhouses especially in summer when temperatures are very high. With a shade net greenhouse you can expect a bumper harvest on your horticulture project. I use a shade cloth greenhouse to grow tomatoes, bell peppers, English cucumbers and green vegetables.
After watching this video, you will be able to build your own shade net greenhouse, however, in the event that you still need any clarification, feel free to ask me through the comments section below and I will gladly answer your questions as soon as possible.

It provides a step-by-step walkthrough for building a durable structure suitable for vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, including tips for extending existing greenhouses and setting up trellising.
Hello Farmers,
Welcome to another episode of BestFarmingTips.com.
Today we are talking about
How to build a shed house.
Shed cloth greenhouse DIY
The best shed cloth for greenhouse
is a water-resistant knit.
It will not come undone if cut
and is available in a variety of colors and percentages.
A shed cloth of 30 to 50%
is ideal for most vegetables.
However, some plants require a shade cloth of 30 to 60%.
Generally, a 40% wide shed house greenhouse
It is the best for most horticulture farmers.
It is ideal for tomato farmers.
bell pepper farming
leafy vegetables farming
and even English cucumbers.
Building a shed house or a shed-style greenhouse
It isn't difficult at all.
All you need are wooden poles,
a polywire
a shed cloth
nails
binding wire
wooden guard,
twine
and some deformed iron bars.
In this video,
I'm expanding an already existing shed-style greenhouse
And I'll walk with you step by step
so that you can see how a shed cloth greenhouse is constructed.
The wooden poles vary in size and length.
depending on where they are going.
Some are 4.6 meters long,
The others are 4 meters long.
and the shortest ones are 3.2 meters long.
As we construct our greenhouse,
We'll see which size fits.
We begin by establishing the physical layout of our greenhouse.
We cut the deformed bars to a length of approximately 40 centimeters.
then use them as stakes at the corners of our greenhouse
and at every location where we are going to install a wooden pole.
The poles are 3 meters apart in a single row.
This is because our shed cloth is 3 meters wide.
If the shed cloth had a width of 2 meters,
then in a single row,
The poles were going to be 2 meters apart.
Then from one row to the other,
The poles are 4 meters apart.
So we're basically using twine to mark these cross sections.
The next stage is to dig walls.
so that we can set up our wooden poles.
The walls should be slightly larger than 150 millimeters in diameter.
That is 15 centimeters.
and 600 millimeters deep,
That is 60 centimeters.
The poles we are going to install in these walls
have a diameter of 100 to 150 millimeters
That is 10 to 15 centimeters.
So the walls should be a bit larger than that.
Now let's cut our poles
to ensure they conform to the specific lengths we desire.
We begin with the ones we are going to set upright.
They should be 4 meters in length.
and 60 centimeters or 0.6 meters
should sink into the walls we have just dug.
As about 60 centimeters of the wooden pole
is going to sink into the wall,
We need to protect that section with a wooden guard.
so that termites do not quickly destroy our wooden poles.
After placing all the poles in their respective walls,
It's time to compact the soil.
and make the poles stand firm and straight upright.
Now let's install poles that are 4.6 meters long.
They join the rows, and the rows are 4 meters apart.
So these poles should be a bit longer than 4 meters.
and 4.6 meters is ideal.
The diameter should be 75 to 100 millimeters.
That is 7.5 centimeters to 10 centimeters.
Now let's cut off some sections from the ends of the logs
so that we can easily nail them together.
We don't want the ends to be round
because they will not remain stable on the upright poles.
When you're done, start securing the poles.
The nails should be 6 inches long.
And it's best to use stainless steel nails.
We're just putting nails in place here.
We are not yet securing the logs to the upright poles.
This is the twine we use to construct the greenhouse for the shared house.
We use it during setting out.
Then we use it to join the shared cloth.
and in the future, when the shared cloth becomes torn,
We will use this thread to stitch the torn parts.
We will definitely need at least two ladders.
so that we can accurately handle the 4.6-meter logs
toward the roof of the shared net greenhouse.
If you don't have a ladder,
You can just quickly make one using two poles.
and wooden scraps we removed
When we first cut our poles to size.
Let's proceed with securing the logs.
For the sake of uniformity and neatness,
These logs should be secured approximately 30 centimeters apart.
from the edge of the upright poles.
When you have finished processing the 4.6-meter logs that join the rows,
Now it's time to put in place the 3.6-meter logs.
that connect two poles within the same row.
These 3.6-meter-long poles
should have a diameter of approximately 75 to 100 millimeters.
If the logs are longer than 3.6 meters,
Just cut them to size so they don't overlap too much.
Since we are extending an already existing greenhouse,
Now we are joining the old structure.
and the new structure together.
But before we do that, we have to cut the shared fabric.
so that our log can be nailed to the old structure.
Let's repeat the process of putting in nails
in place before proceeding to secure the logs
to the upright poles.
This is the poly wire that we will use.
to support our shared fabric.
Some call it coated wire.
It is 2.5 millimeters in size.
It's not an actual wire.
It is made of plastic and shaped like a proper wire.
We want to use this poly wire.
because it won't be affected by the rain.
We don't want rust to destroy our supporting wire
and eventually our shared cloth.
The poly wire should run along the 4.6-meter logs.
as well as the 3.6-meter logs.
The shared cloth is going to rest on top of the poly wire.
throughout the greenhouse
So the poly wire starts from the ground,
tied to a deformed iron bar rod
slides upward toward the roof of the greenhouse,
runs across the roof to the other end,
slides downward until it reaches the ground
and is fastened to another metal rod.
However, before we secure the poly wire
to the grounded metal rod,
We first temporarily tie it to a nail.
about one to 1.5 meters above the ground
Since this is temporary,
Leave an adequate length of poly wire.
enough to bring down later on.
When you're done, it's time to stretch the poly wire.
since we don't want it to be loose at all.
You should use three-inch nails or U nails.
to secure the poly wires on top of the upright poles
so that they do not drift from the designated position
against one's will due to the wind.
Dig a shallow trench about one meter away
from the vertical poles of the greenhouse
so that we can have extra space inside the greenhouse
to use a seedbed and to create a path to walk on
while working in the shared net greenhouse.
This trench is where our shared cloth will be buried.
as you will see shortly.
The next stage is to drive metal rods into the ground.
as stakes where our poly wire will be tied to.
These rods should be approximately one meter apart.
from the upright poles
and in the trench that we have just dug.
Now use a regular tying wire.
to further reinforce the joints
We previously fastened it using six-inch nails.
The next step is to roll the shared cloth.
over the structure.
We wrap a stone with the shared cloth
so that we can throw it over the logs
and over the poly wire.
Also note that we cover the greenhouse.
with the shared cloth, the unusual way,
across the greenhouse
not along the length of the greenhouse.
The shared cloth we are using in this video
is a width of three meters.
So we will cut the fabric multiple times.
and join the pieces together using twine.
Spread out and stretch the cloth.
Use three-inch nails previously used
to keep the poly wires intact above the upright poles.
You can add an extra nail on top of the upright pole.
For this purpose, if you consider it appropriate.
Now cut the fabric.
Give a margin for the part of the fabric
that will be buried in the trench we dug earlier.
Use a shovel to cover the shared cloth with soil.
Use your legs to stretch the fabric
Because we don't want it to be loose.
Repeat the process until the wall roof
is completely covered.
As we are extending an existing shared house,
Now we are cutting off the entrance side.
of the old greenhouse
Then attach the new roof to the old roof.
Use twine and a needle to join the ends.
of the shared cloth together.
The ends feature walls for easy stitching.
Do not attach the shared cloth to the poly wire.
The cloth should just rest on the poly wire.
The next step is to make an entrance.
You just cut off a piece of cloth whose hole is large enough.
to match the size of your preferred door.
It should be approximately 1.5 meters tall.
and 80 to 90 centimeters in width.
After that, use poles to create a doorframe-like structure.
and secure the shared cloth to the poles at the entrance.
Construct a veranda-like structure at the entrance.
like a reception booth found at some banking institutions.
This will help you set up a biosecurity system.
and a footpath facility for your greenhouse.
Once you have determined where your ridges will be located,
run a barbed wire toward the roof
so that we can use the barbed wire
to trellis our tomatoes, bell peppers,
English cucumbers, or any other crop
that requires trellising.
I prefer using barbed wire
because the knots in the barbed wire
Do not allow the trellising twine to move freely.
It can only drift within the boundaries defined by the two knots.
that block the unlimited free movement of the trellising twine.
Unfortunately, this video has already been consumed
Nearly half an hour so far,
So we will learn how to dig trenches.
for our greenhouse ridges or beds,
Fill the trenches with multiple layers of fertilizers.
and animal manure, then form ridges
where we will plant our greenhouse crops in the next video.
The video will also show you
How to install a drip irrigation system in detail.
So I urge you to subscribe to this channel,
Best Farming Tips, so that you get notified
When we upload this video,
Hopefully within the next seven days.
For now, I'll just give a brief explanation.
so that you have an idea of how it's done.
Begin by marking the lines where your ridges will be.
Space the ridges 60 to 100 centimeters apart.
In a greenhouse, space is very limited.
and should therefore be used wisely.
Therefore, it is best to separate the ridges with a 60-centimeter aisle.
where you will walk along
Whenever you are working in the greenhouse.
The ridges themselves should have a width
about 50 centimeters
We will skip the part of digging trenches.
as we will cover that in our next video.
After filling the trenches with multiple layers
of fertilizers and animal manure
Now create your ridges and install your drip irrigation system.
