We built this awesome greenhouse with us and other people like us in mind. If you have a little knowledge of building things with your hands you can do this also.

We put it on skids. You know how it is when you are starting your homestead and your building pens, shacks, sheds, barns, fences, etc. and the day comes where you say only if I would of put it over there instead of here. Well this design can be moved every growing season if you like. Put it in the sun in the winter and then drag it to the shade in the summer.

We built it on our goose neck trailer because it provides a flat surface for us to work on and if a customer orders one its ready for transport.

You can also see how we did the shelves, automatic window opener and our door latch.

This design can be used for other things like a chicken tractor, animal shelter, temporary shed, etc.

Hope yall enjoy it.

Nice and you are right very similar. I mention in my book a few things this design can be used for and a chicken tractor is one of them. How do you move your around?

I pull it by a rope. It is not very heavy. If the ground is really muddy, it may dig in a little and be difficult, but then I just go get DH to give me a hand. The chickens tend to hurry over to the newly exposed grass, so they mostly stay out of the way of the back end. I keep an eye on them as I pull.

We have a different kind of chicken tractor we raise broilers in every year and it is interesting how they learn to hurry to the new grass.
