Build your own Plastic Bottle Greenhouse
How to make one in eight easy steps…
1. Gather heaps of used plastic bottles. The 2 litre bottles are ideal and around
1,500 are needed for a large sized greenhouse.
2. Wash the bottles and remove the labels. This can be done in a bucket of
soapy water. Remove the bottle
tops and cut off the bottoms of the
bottles with a sharp pair of
scissors. Be careful as the
scissors and the cut bottles can
be sharp. Remember this has to
be done up to 1,500 times so can
cause blisters and be time
consuming.
Done by kids with minimum supervision.
3. Fix 4 posts vertically into the
ground. Treated 4” x 4” posts
cemented a couple of feet into the
ground works great. These are for
the corners of the greenhouse.
Put slabs or mulch around and
inside to suppress weeds.
Best done by adults.
4. Make a frame for each side, roof,
door etc. These are best done with
treated 2” x 2” timber made into frames
with mitred corners screwed together.
Best done by adults and older kids.
5. Stack the bottles one inside another with
a garden cane supporting them through the
middle. At one end reverse a bottle so it
faces the opposite way from the rest and fit it
inside. This will to make a long tube with the
ends of the garden cane sticking out of the
tops of the bottles at either end.
Place the bottles and canes
onto the frames to be
attached at the top and
bottom of the frame.
Done by kids with minimum
supervision.
6. Using fencing staples
attach both ends of the
cane onto the frame. The
frame will keep the bottles
squashed up. Staple as
many rows as possible
until the frame is filled.
Done by kids with minimum
supervision.
7. Screw completed frames onto
uprights.
8. The roof can be flat or
sloping. If making a sloping
roof it is best to make two
triangular frames for the
gables. Staple bottles onto
these frames as before.
Screw the triangular gables to the
posts and include a top beam and
vertical supports (from the top of
the gables to the top of the front
and back panels). The sloping
sides of the roof can be made out
of similar panels as the walls.
These can then be screwed onto
the top beam, gable ends and top of the side panels.
The door can be made of a smaller frame hinged to a larger frame making up the
front wall. Make the door smaller than the inside of the frame to allow it to open
freely even if it sags.
Best done by adults and older kids.
.… then start growing your flowers, veggies etc
