What is included

  • Easy to follow and thorough: dimensioned drawings, a cut list for every piece and a materials and shopping list

  • CAD files: a SketchUp-ready .dae 3D model plus DXF drawings (open them in AutoCAD, LibreCAD or FreeCAD), so you can change a size or hand the drawings to a drafter
  • A printable PDF (US letter, 8.5 x 11 in) with dimensioned drawings, cut lists and materials lists
  • 1 editable spreadsheet (.xlsx) with a materials cost calculator and cut list for each size (type your local prices), a vent calculator, a panel expansion calculator and a ledger load calculator
  • The worksheets again as printable web pages (zipped), so you can reprint single pages any time

Please note. This is a digital download, no physical item ships. These are generic DIY plans, not engineered or stamped drawings, and the greenhouses have not been tested to any standard. The lean-to plans only apply to a sound house wall with solid framing behind it, and not where snow can slide onto the roof from above; the plans say how to check. Snow load, wind, permits and setbacks are local: check with your building office, and call 811 before you dig. The builder is responsible for safe construction and use. Colors can look a little different on your screen and printer. For personal use only; please do not resell or share the files. The included permit drawing set is a general DIY drawing set with no engineer's or architect's stamp: have your local building department review it for your site.

Still deciding on size, heat and ventilation? The Greenhouse Build & Growing Planner sizes the structure from your own numbers and plans the season inside it. These plans are the build set once you have chosen.
