I've made a recent update to my website to address the construction of a PVC greenhouse. I have pictures, discussion and a link to a materials list and photos of the crew building it.
It is a cheap and easy construction job. I think it takes at least two sets of hands, and more if you can find them.
If you're looking for something that is cheap and easy to build and provides lots of room, this might be just the thing. The link to the page is:

I would have used woven poly due to our winds out here, but it seems that this PVC structure is holding up well, and I learned that some of these type of structures have lasted 8 years, including the greenhouse poly film. That's impressive.
I'm planning on building one myself. With our small animals, I can always use a source of more food for my fine feathered friends. I can't think of anything cheaper than growing it ourselves.
I'll be updating the website soon with information about two kits, one for a high tunnel and one for a low tunnel.
