This step by step diy project is about 8×8 greenhouse trims plans. This is PART 2 of the greenhouse project, where I show you how to build the vents and the door for the greenhouse. In addition, I show you how to fit the 1×2 trims to the exterior of the greenhouse. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.
When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Fitting the trims to the 8×8 greenhouse
Front and back trims
Fit the greenhouse film to the front of the greenhouse. Cut the trims for the greenhouse front and then attach them into place with 1 1/2″ screws.align the edges and drill pilot holes before inserting the screws, to prevent the wood from splitting.
Side wall trims
Fit the greenhouse plastic to the sides of the greenhouse and then lock it into place with 1×2 trims. Align the trims flush, drill pilot holes and insert 1 1/2″ screws.
Gable end trims
Fit the 1×2 trims to the gable ends of the greenhouse, after aligning the edges with attention.
Roof Trims
Fit the 1×2 trims to the top of the greenhouse. Place the trims equally spaced and then lock them into place with 1 1/2″ screws.
Vent trims
Fit the 1×2 trims to the vents, as well. Use 1 1/2″ screws to lock the trims to the trims into place.
Fitting the vents
Fit the vents to the sides of the greenhouse and install the hinges, so you can open and close them easily. In addition, you can install automatic vent openers, so you air the greenhouse when the temperature get over a certain level.
Door trims
Fit the plastic and the 1×2 trims to the doors.
Fitting the door
Fit the doors to the openings and then lock them into place tightly with hinges. Check if the doors open and close properly and make adjustments, if necessarily.
