Bread bin greenhouses (shells, folding beds, but not butterfly greenhouses) have become extremely popular because they are easy and inexpensive to make, and the plants in them are very easy to maintain. We'll create a greenhouse covering an area of 1.15 by 2 meters.
This video tutorial is for someone without superpowers, but capable of welding offcuts of profile pipe. Therefore, the patterns for a three-meter polycarbonate sheet are provided with some allowance. A more skilled and meticulous craftsman will be able to modify them, if necessary, adding a little space and reducing the remaining material.

You can pause the diagrams and drawings and take a photo, or take a screenshot and print them.
1. First, from a 20x20x1.5 mm pipe, you need to make two 600x600 mm angles and two 570x570 mm angles.
2. Now you need to make 6 arcs. ATTENTION!!! You don't need a pipe bender to make them! There are many ways to do it without one! The main thing is to shape the first arc so it's close to a perfect circle, and then use this finished arc as a template.
3. The finished arcs are marked, cut, and welded into the finished angles.
4. Weld two frames (large and small) together and weld two medium arches into them.
5. Drill 8.5 mm diameter holes in the corners.
6. Cut the polycarbonate sheet into three pieces.
7. First, screw the piece to the side panels and then trim it. To the small frame, all the polycarbonate is attached with self-tapping screws with a press washer, while to the large frame, roofing screws with a rubber washer can be used.
8. The greenhouse back panels are also attached in the same way – first screw them in place, then trim them. The back panel covers the ends of the side panels.
9. Fasten the frames together with a gap, tightening the nuts.
10. If airtightness is very important, attach a rubber or plastic strip, similar to those used in shower enclosures; they are sold in plumbing supply stores. You can also screw on handles made of 1.5-2 mm thick sheet metal.
11. I was ordered a greenhouse without ventilation. However, by adjusting the size of one shoulder of the inner side panel, you can create a vent. Alternatively, you can raise the entire structure above the ground by placing it on a similar pallet.
