Does anybody have a screen house for their trees in containers? I took apart my pretend greenhouse and started building a screen house to keep those pesky mosquitos out. Its also to keep my cat and dog out because they keep knocking over my small pots with with seedlings. I already lost half of my inventory. I was hoping to get some experiences/ideas from people here. I shall post pictures of my progress tomorrow.

I was going for a look that doesn't fall down with high winds. Laughing
I was trying expand it towards our fire pit (thats what that bench is for)
But my wife doesn't want me to mess with the pit. When the kids move out I will just remove their swing set and take over that space. Very Happy

The inside has one coat of with paint. Almost all of it. I ran out of paint. Maybe I should have bought a bigger bucket. I will place the shade cloth and bug screen today. And maybe some shelves with the scrap pieces of wood.

80% done! I tried to take pictures but it was too dark. Even with the flash. I'll try and post some tomorrow.

I have to paint the outside so I can put the door handle. And there are a few spots I missed on the inside. My wife added the green carpet.

Nice job! Clean design and tight joints.

Your wife sounds like my wife. "We don't need grass over there! Let's put down some artificial grass carpet!" Smile

Thanks! The carpet was in the shed and I threw it out to look for the shade cloth. We finally put it to good use. I've been working on this for weeks now. A little bit here and there. Almost there...
