I purchased and installed a greenhouse for starter plants for Fox Farm last spring. I borrowed $10,000 on Kiva which is a crowd lending organization. Its a great way to loan money to businesses, individuals and people who want to improve their life with a kiva loan.
Here is a image of my loan. I have almost completely paid it off.
I am also a kiva lender and have made over 1270 loans over the past few years.
The greenhouse I chose was made by Conley Greenhouses and I purchased it from Greenhousemegastore.com Turns out I probably overpaid because it was manufactured in Upland CA which is 30 miles from me - but shipped to Indiana and then shipped back to me in Riverside CA. I didn't realize that when I ordered it.
The size is 9' X 12' and was a kit with fans, and a propane heater.

The first step was installing the concrete pad. I wanted to make sure it was firmly anchored as sometimes we have high winds that will blow through the farm and didn't want my greenhouse blowing away during a Santa Ana Wind Event.
Next was installing the frame support brackets to hold the greenhouse to the foundation.
Once the supports were installed - its time to put it together which was a challenge. here are all the parts before installation started.
Here are images of the installation process. I had various people help whom have never installed a greenhouse. I did call Conley greenhouses to see if they could install, but the Pot growers were keeping them busy installing large greenhouses.
