Hey there, fellow gardeners and green-thumb
enthusiasts! If you've ever dreamed of
extending your growing season,
protecting your precious plants from the whims of Mother Nature, or simply carving out a cozy space for your indoor jungle, I've got exciting news. Today, I'm thrilled to spotlight a game-changer in the mini greenhouse sector from Circo Innovations, Inc.: the Pitched Roof Greenhouse 6' x 9' Fittings Kit. This isn't your average small greenhouse—it's a smart, affordable, and super-customizable PVC-based build-your-own wonder that's perfect for backyard hobbyists, urban farmers, and anyone with a bit of DIY spirit.
As someone who's spent countless hours tinkering in the garden (and occasionally cursing at flimsy store-bought small greenhouse structures), I can tell you that this kit hits all the right notes. Let's dive into why this pitched-roof beauty deserves a spot in your outdoor setup.
Why Go for a Pitched Roof Design on your Small Greenhouse?
The pitched roof: sloped for optimal drainage, better light diffusion, and that classic greenhouse silhouette that screams "I'm serious about my sprouts." At 6 feet wide by 9 feet long, this kit creates a generous 54 square feet of growing space—plenty of room for tomatoes, herbs, seedlings, or even a mini tropical paradise. Whether you're starting seeds in early spring or shielding fall crops from frost, it's versatile enough to handle year-round adventures in most climates.
What's in the Box? (Fittings-Only Magic)
This is where the kit shines: it's all about the fittings. No bulky pre-fab panels or guesswork here—just high-quality connectors designed to work with standard 1-inch PVC pipes (which you'll source separately for ultimate customization). Here's a quick breakdown of what you get in your small greenhouse kit:
Component | Quantity | Purpose |
4 | Corner connections for sturdy framing | |
6 | Making solid box corners | |
2 | Securely fasten your greenhouse door | |
8 | Branching supports for roof and walls | |
4 | Mid-frame stability | |
10 | Joining walls together | |
100 | Securing the plastic sheeting (sheeting sold separately) | |
1 | Step-by-step instructions with diagrams |
Total build time? About 4-6 hours with basic tools like a hacksaw and drill. Pro tip: Opt for UV-resistant 6-mil plastic sheeting to cover the frame—it's easy to swap out seasonally. If you choose this type of plastic you may need to paint your PVC pipe or apply felt tape or painters tape to the pipe where the poly touches it. Over time it may degrade the poly cover.
What's Not included? You need to source some 1 inch PVC pipe, you'll need about 140 feet of that. You would be fine to purchase 10 ft sticks. No need to get 20' lengths. You will need to source some greenhouse poly if that is what you're using this for. We recommend Greenhouse Megastore for that and you'll need a 10'x40' roll. Here's what we used.
The Perks of PVC Power
PVC isn't just cheap; it's tough. This kit uses durable, weather-resistant Schedule 40 PVC fittings that won't rust, warp, or fade under the sun. Key benefits include:
Affordability: Build a pro-grade greenhouse for a fraction of retail prices.
Expandability: Love it? Scale up with more kits for larger structures. or customize your pipe lengths to make the structure wider or longer.
Eco-Friendly Vibes: PVC is recyclable, and the modular design means less waste.
Beginner-Friendly: No welding or fancy carpentry required—just snap, connect, and grow.
Imagine harvesting fresh basil in December or propagating rare orchids without breaking the bank. Users rave about how it transforms small spaces—think patios, decks, or backyard spaces—into productive oases. Here's our latest result! It went fabulously.
