Go to find some used lumber from your neighbor, friends or even from garbage collection center. Usually it is not difficult to find as lumber is a very common building waster. By doing this you have saved a lot in the cost of the framing material.
Build a lean-to greenhouse
Building a lean-to type greenhouse is a good choice when you have tight budget. A lean-to greenhouse usually requires just 2/3 or 1/2 of the budget of an ordinary green house because it is just a half greenhouse. It is attached to the side of your house, garage or shed and has a door way leading to the building. As it is attached to the building, it can easily gain access to electricity, heat and water.
Build at a spot with maximum sunlight
When you choose the location of your greenhouse, try to build it in a place where gets the most sunlight. This is because in winter you may need to use electric heater to heat up the green house. If your green house is exposed to maximum sunlight, the heating cost would be reduced a lot. However you have to make sure there is enough ventilation and circulation so that the greenhouse is not being too hot.
