- They are too flimsy if you use plastic. The wind will destroy them. PVC
- makes a good deer fence when combined with garden netting over the whole
- thing. If you want a cheap green house, then make it out of redwood 2x4s.
- A simple four-post frame and slanted roof with plastic will do the job.
- Remember to have some holes in the plastic to allow the wind to blow through
- in case of storms.
