The Greenhouse Build & Growing Planner

  • 12 fill-in worksheets, 44 print pages
  • 2 filled-in examples and a companion spreadsheet
  • Online buyer guide with 3 priced complete builds

Replaces the sticky note with last year's frost date on it, the heater bought by the size printed on the box, and the shade cloth ordered twice because nobody wrote down what was already up.

30-day money-back guarantee. Use it all; if it doesn't help, every dollar back.

Write your greenhouse's own numbers down once, and the heater, the fan, the shade cloth and the sowing calendar all fall out of your own envelope and your own frost dates instead of a generic chart.

  • 2 filled-in example worksheets. Size, Envelope & Real Growing Area and Heater Output for Your House, worked through for a sample house, so you can see a finished page before you start.
  • 1 companion spreadsheet. The budget, task and payback tables from the kit, as live spreadsheet formulas instead of a printed page. Tabs: Build & gear budget, Trigger tasks & season log, Kit payback tracker.
  • 1 start-here page. The four sheets to fill in the first 20 minutes, and which sheet to reach for when.

Plus the online buyer guide

Three complete whole-house builds at three budgets, every item priced and linked, plus every product the kit names, kept current on this site. Your kit links straight to it, so the prices you plan with are today's, not the day the PDF was printed.

Who it's for

  • First-time greenhouse owners who want the structure sized before it is ordered, not after it arrives too small
  • Anyone about to buy a heater, fan, shade cloth or grow light and wanting to buy the right size once
  • Growers who keep meaning to log frost dates, sowing schedules and season notes and never start
  • Anyone moving from a cold frame or low tunnel into a heated structure who needs the electrical and heat-loss numbers before the first cold night

Who made this

GH

Built by the GreenhouseSetup.com team, the people behind the free calculators and buying guides on this site, from published manufacturer specifications, horticultural references and verified owner reviews. Researched, not a professional horticulturist or electrician's sign-off.

30-day money-back guarantee

Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.

Questions

How do I get it?

Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.

Can I print it more than once?

Yes. Print as many copies as you need, every season, and reprint any single log or tracker page once it fills up.

What if it is not what I expected?

Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.

Does it assume I already have a greenhouse?

No. The envelope sheet and the three-tier budget sheet both work from a blank site, and the Start Here page tells you which sheets to open first either way.

How is it different from the free calculators?

A calculator answers one question and forgets it. The kit keeps your greenhouse's own numbers together in one place, plans a whole season of sowing dates at once, ties maintenance to a trigger instead of a date you forget to check, and turns three build tiers into a budget you can actually shop against.
