How To Buy Custom Retro Jordan?

Building custom Green Houses would you buy?

• I've been thinking about building a green house and possibly selling them. I recently looked up the cost of a "green house kit" and found base line models to be around 599.00 plus and that doesn't include the 40'+ of 2x4 needed for the frame.. I am thinking of selling these so I want to share my idea and see if you all would like to buy such a thing and what you think a good price would be! Okay so as I said I found that a base model which would require you to plant in the ground is going to run about 1,000. Take that price into consideration, and be honest as if you would buy something like this, if you can afford to buy something like this, and what you would pay. Here's the idea, a 12'x12'x8' squared model, full UV green house plastic with 4 year warranty. Full floor, stained, water sealed, and clear coated. Two main isles, Nine, ten foot shelves to hold "planters" Planters will be either full 10' or can be built to be smaller sizes up to the ten foot length. Total of 90 feet of planting with each planter being about 2 foot wide x 1 foot deep. Also the back wall would be designated custom built tomato planters as tomatoes grow quite tall. Built in Irrigation system on timer, all you'd have to do is hook up your garden hose. Lighting system as if you needed access after dark. Everything stained to look nice, water sealed, and clear coated, would be two main Isles with a back isle. isles would have a traction specific mat so to speak. there would be several drains throughout the green house. Also thinking of possibly adding a separate room off the back to include a propane heater, which would be run by a 100LB Propane tank. OR Two 20LB tanks. Which ever proves more convenient for the buyer. the duct would be run under the main floor and coated with heat/water proof materials, and vents would be run up same as you would find in your home. Located directly under the planter shelves. This would be an Additional cost. The typical Temp gages and all would be included as well. I am also going to include 4 windows in the fashion of one rear, two side and the front door being a steel door with built in screen and sliding glass windows to allow for 4 way cross ventilation.. This would also allow for the Owner to put fans in said windows. I could also upon request build a fan into the wall of the green house. Now as far as lighting I was going to go with Camp style battery powered lights that would run off a light switch such as you'd use in your house, OR I can provide wired lights and in-turn you could run single extension cord to the green house that would power your lights and built in fan. The possibilities are almost endless. So, with all that in mind, what would you pay from the base line up the the top end realistic This is a idea I'm thinking of running with I have several others. Please if you have an opinion please put it forth. I am personally thinking base line idea of mine to go for about 1,500 give or take fully built which would consist of the shelves, planters, full floor, premium plastics, etc. ALSO forgot to MENTION all planters would come Pre-lined with Heavy Gauge Plastic ETC. this model would include windows as well. for about 1,500.00-2,000.00 Now the premium, with build in lights, built in fan, 6 section green house for easy break down and transport. Quick line up and clamp together design with easy hide away clamps going for about 3,000+ This scale is a 12x12x8 foot design offering a huge 204 sq ft of planting area.. that's a 102 foot row or 9 ten foot rows, and 1 12 foot row going across the back wall. each planter would be 10 foot x 2 foot and 1 foot deep. OR several smaller planters put into that 10 foot shelving unit. So, the question is would you buy this? and How much would you be willing to spend? I'm tired of seeing base line green houses selling for thousands of dollars or not including a door, or windows or even a frame or floor. So if you like my idea, shout out what you would pay, and if you could afford to pay such and let me know! REMEMBER THIS IS MY FIRST IDEA AND LAYOUT DESIGN, IF I DECIDE TO GO WITH IT I WILL CREATE AND DESIGN MORE LAYOUTS AND BUILD CUSTOM LAYOUTS AS WELL! ALL DEPENDING ON PRICE! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!

• Answer:

  Definately would buy if I was into gardening, and the prices you listed were right in what I was thinking as I read along. Sounds like an amazing service. If you really want to sell it though, itemize each item down to the nail and screw, because what you're asking for labor is just pennies on the dollar. You might even want to look at going with an hourly rate, or the option of, maybe say $80 an hour with a $2500 cap. By the way, most stores don't mind when you put coupons or brochures on their counters, so you might start out by just making a coupon/pamphlet and throwing 50 or so on your local gardening store's counter, if someone likes the idea then you should let them make the purchases on the materials (under your guidance) and only charge the labor to start. You might want to check your state law though and make sure that you know how much you can charge someone before being bonded.
