I took some windows from a friend from the old school that was torn down flipped them to open out and ruff framed them to make a green house. The only problem is that I have to lay on my belly to work the soil but I have found that actually is a great way to go using an exercise mat. I plan to scrape and paint them and put a 6 foot florescent grow light in the top soon.

Welcome to GardenTenders Tim. Got to love repurposing donated materials into an item like this. Just a thought, have you looked at turning the windows upside down so you can reach in from the top to tend the plants?

Neat use of the abandoned windows. They might be useful on top of a raised garden as well.

I like it; I like it!!!
it’s too bad the whole thing can’t lean backwards out of the way but it’s probably too heavy.. and what better way to connect with the earth than on your belly :D

A very compact and useful way to extend your season. I agree with Jroot, is there anyway to put it on a raised bed so that it might be a bit easier to use?

It’s a great idea! Re-cycled wood makes it even better!
