DIY Plastic Bottle Greenhouse

Mila Craven — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 13:53:16 +0000

Recycling is not only a trend but a necessity nowadays. And fortunately it has become a healthy habit.

First thing you need to know about building a greenhouse out of PET bottles is you ought to enjoy working with plastic. The trick is you actually build each `wall` at a time, although in total it seems you’re dealing with some kind of a castle, involving almost a thousand bottles in order to raise-up a 2 by 2 by 2 meters structure. Here is a effective advice to beginning the process: measure your bottles

Doing so, the frame will be exactly of the necessary size. If there is however any miscalculations, you could easily cut some of the height of the bottles. Then it’s all about cutting and gluing the bottles between them and to the wood frame. Work on the wooden frame placed flat on the floor. Make sure you have a couple of pieces of wood positioned underneath the frame; this way, the bottles will be centered to the middle of the frame and not bulking in any other way. Pour a bit of silicon in between the bottles once the wall is done. Do the same with each `wall`. And remember to put in a flap panel for use as ventilation. You could also try the more futuristic round greenhouse structure. There is much to do. We’ll leave you to it.

One way to make good use of a repurposing PET bottles project is building a cheap greenhouse. For a conventional straight-angled structure, you will need these materials.

Bird Feeder DIY

You will need a glass cutter/grinder tool so the seed can pour out the bottom. The one pictured above was actually for sale on Etsy but is no longer being sold so I found a great link to another DIY blog with a little tutorial.

Any shape or color works really, the more exotic and colorful the better. Soak and scrape off any labels etc. Gather together your drill and a glass cutting drill bit. Glass bits are cheap to buy at your local DIY store. There are two ways to do this project… Drill a hole big enough to thread the cable from your LED set through. Measure the size of the cable. I used 6mm in this one. or Drill a hole big enough to thread the actual LED lamps into your bottle, measure the size of the lamps. These were 8mm or so. I wanted to shorten the cable to the battery box anyway, so I opted for a small hole to thread the cable though, pulling the LEDs into the (via handycrowd.com)
