ABSTRACT:
A kit for a knockdown greenhouse which is easy to assemble and ship in a conventional parcel service container is disclosed which includes a plurality of base strips for forming a rectangular base frame having first and second parallel side base members and first and second end base members. The base strips have a length generally equal to or less than the length of the container. First and second side base members have a series of anchors spaced along a length of the base members. A plurality of elongated bendable rib sections are included having a length generally less than the length of the container. Couplings are provided for joining ends of a predetermined number of the arch sections together generally end to end to form an arch-shaped rib whereby a plurality of arch-shaped ribs may be constructed. The arch-shaped ribs have first and second anchor ends which are interconnectable with the anchors of side base members to position the arch-shaped ribs upright. Longitudinal rib connectors are provided to interconnect the arch-shaped ribs. A knockdown door assembly is included which interfits with an end base member in an upright configuration and has a movable door. Lattice mounting strips are included for affixing a cover between the mounting strips and the side base members, and the kit includes removable fasteners for securing the mounting strips to the side base members with the cover sandwiched there between.
