I think that is going to work out pretty nicely actually. Have you thought about small windows/hatches for cross vent & temp control?

Why did you need the ability to move it/take it down as a "must have"?

so today the weather was finally cooperating with me, so I went and grabbed some wood

8631889785_5dd7e8d8b4_z.jpg

and cut them to length and screwed them down

8632996740_024dd494f1_z.jpg

and started covering it with plastic

I got everything stapled down

So finally had a couple nice days of weather, so I picked up some chicken wire and some wood

8640174573_146536d71d_z.jpg

I wrapped the bottom of the plastic, to keep any predators out and to keep the chickens in

8641279298_69be5e8e9c_z.jpg

8641280068_2264978f00_z.jpg

I trimmed out the plastic from the doorway

8640177199_e1d3d90a4a_z.jpg

and my dad started trimming and stapling the end

8640177895_15e24f8f74_z.jpg

while he was doing that I grabbed a couple scrap 2x6's I had

8640180043_5792a88992_z.jpg

and attached some cross pieces

8640181305_722f1b4659_z.jpg

and attached it to the side, the chickens roost is ready for when I move them down here

8641286804_d402bf90b9_z.jpg

I threw a thermometer inside, not to shabby for being 42 degrees outside

8640182335_caf876498c_z.jpg

I cut out a frame for the door

8641282288_d32f9fc33e_z.jpg

I stapled down the plastic that I trimmed

8641287890_57ddf59a19_z.jpg

and some more wire along the bottom

8641289120_30c8265753_z.jpg

I stood it up in place and used some eye hooks to keep it in place

8640192559_0eb4c6ceb6_z.jpg

and it was done

8641297448_6b979d2349_z.jpg

of course we are suppose to get 4 inches of snow tomorrow, I will wait to add the chickens

Why are you putting the chickens in the greenhouse? Sorry, missed the reason why -- to tear up the beds?
