When it comes to finding free greenhouse plans the internet is flooded with them. There are so very many that it is often confusing trying to decide which ones to build. The green house you ultimately choose will depend on the types of plants you are trying to cultivate. Availability of supplies and finances will also have a bearing on your greenhouse choice.

Some designs are not going to be feasible in certain areas and spaces. But here are a few designs to give you an idea of what you can expect to find online.

1.) The Pitt or Dug out - this is great for a home with a south-facing slope. These are carved into a hill and covered with a glazing. If you have an old in-ground pool this is one item that can easily be converted into a green house. The plus is they are already in the part of the yard that gets the most sun. And with only a few modifications they are easily adapted to growing plants. The drainage is already in place so that will not be an issue.

2.) The number one type of greenhouse used in America today is the Hoop House. The design and construction are very simple. They can be of any size and all you need is some PVC, Plastic and Metal or Rebar stakes and you are good to go. This is the most portable type of green house available.

3.) The Straw bale green house is one of the most ecologically friendly houses on the market. The new straw bale construction material is actually compressed straw; it is sort of like using particleboard. The material is often made from agricultural waste, which makes it a renewable resource.

4.) The oldest building material in the world is also still very popular for use in constructing greenhouses. Use pressure treated woods to keep from having to deal with wood rot from all of the moisture.

5.) Last but not least is the ultimate material for building a greenhouse that is not only environmentally friendly but also easy on the purse is to use recycled materials. Even better still is to use salvaged materials that cost you nothing.

Although you can find plans using all of these materials online you will also need to know how to assemble the various projects. Unless you are good a blueprints you will need to find and download a set of instructions for a basic greenhouse. Don't forget to find other ways to create ecological gardens. Solar fountains are one of the best alternatives to green house plans when it comes to creating beautiful and ecological gardens.
