We buy a 20x96 kit from Atlas Greenhouses - http://www.atlasgreenhouse.com/
The Kit is $885 plus shipping. I don't think we could match that price doing
it ourselves, and the quality is topnotch. Figure about $2200-$2500 total -
wood, plastic, polylock, door, etc., as long as you do your own labor. It
will pay for itself in about 20-25 weeks the first winter. If you want a
48' house, the kit will do two for you with a little extra hardware, and I
can say from experience that one won't be enough once you get it going.
We're still trying to meet demand with enough production, and we now have
6500 sqft.
