After assembling the roof frames with screws and mending plates, make the bevel cuts at the ridge-edges of the panels. Adjust your table saw to 30° to make the cuts.

but very efficient solution. The least expensive solution is to use the heaviest mil polyethylene you can find. Although it will eventually become brittle and cloudy due to the sun's UV rays, it should get you through two or three seasons. If you want something longer lasting, use greenhouse film. It is clear, strong and guaranteed to withstand the sun's rays for up to four years. Greenhouse film is more expensive

than the polyethylene you can buy at a home center, but it's still less expensive than glass or acrylic. The cost of glazing for my greenhouse was approximately $100. I found it at www.growersupply. com/gree nplas.html) Attach the film with staples, and then cover the staples and edges with trim.

Make a test assembly of the entire greenhouse by fastening the parts together with clamps. Check to see that everything fits together correctly.

Stick-build the Gables Using a Template

(LEFT): Place the back wall adjacent to a piece of plywood and draw the gable shape. Mark the angles (approximately 60°) on the rafters (pieces 12) and make your cuts.

(BOTTOM LEFT): Join the rafters at the peak and to the top plate. Use exterior glue and galvanized screws. Make the job easier by pre-boring all screw holes and by clamping the workpieces together prior to driving the screws.

(BOTTOM RIGHT): Mark for the two angled cuts on the door header and make the cuts. Then glue and screw the header to the rafters.
