This is the start of my recycled material green house. As a Carpenter I come across TONS of material all the time. I am making use of these sliding doors and windows I collected a few months ago. Today I was trying to find a quick and easy way to assemble this with the ability to disassemble it easily if I want to.
I went through a few ideas until I noticed a bevel on the bottom of the slider and figured I would increase the bevel angle more and that would then set the angle of the upper glass. After that I just attached a cross brace from top to bottom to keep the top window secure while standing it. The panel is 4 feet wide by 6 feet 8 inches tall.
I have three of these doors but think I may just stay with two for now. I'm just gonna use plastic for now for the ends. And I still need to level it before I attach the door and window set.

That's really cool. I'm excited to watch your progress. Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to be handy and able to recycle materials

Here's tonights progress: I leveled and staked a 2X4 for the glass to sit on(it should be Pressure Treated, but its not, because I didn't have any on hand and its kind of a test to see how it all works out ). Then I prepared the other glass panel. After that I screwed both panels to the 2X4 on the bottom. I then mulled the two top panels together to keep the panels tight together. Then I proceeded to to apply the plastic to the end with strapping(thin scraps of wood) to secure it in place.
Now I just need to make some sort of quick framing for a nice working plastic door.....but thats for tomorrow....or the day after, LOL.

Great start!

Wow that's awesome.I will also try to implement this in my garden.I think we all must do some things like these to contribute in the green environment.Furniture
