After completing my Painted Concrete Walkway, I decided to tackle the next painting project, my outdoor Yardistry Greenhouse. For this project, I knew I wanted to go big and attempt a stenciled concrete. Texas has gotten progressively colder during the winter over the last few years. I have been looking for a Greenhouse to protect my plants and I came across the Yardistry Greenhouse at Costco and knew this was the perfect one for our property. Follow me on my building journey!
Painted Concrete Flooring
When we poured our concrete walkway, I had the crew pour a concrete pad for my future greenhouse. I prepared the concrete for paint exactly as I did for our Painted Concrete Walkway. Once the concrete was prepared, I painted a base layer of gray paint. Next, I used a star stencil and black paint and tediously painted each tile square. In order to prevent stencil bleeding, I used a special paintbrush and dabbed the paint into the stencil. Make sure if you are painting with a stencil to use tape to hold the stencil in place and prevent over painting.
Once the stencil painting was complete, I cleaned the concrete and let it dry before applying the sealer. It took me approximately a week from start to finish to paint the stencil because I worked during my little guys nap time.
Building The Yardistry Greenhouse
Once the concrete painting was done, I began building the Yardistry Greenhouse. I built all of the walls inside of my garage.
Once the walls were built, I moved everything out to the greenhouse site and began assembling.
The Yardistry Greenhouse kit has easy to follow instructions and came with a lot of pre assembled pieces. I built almost everything myself, I needed help getting the roof up but once it was in place everything was smooth sailing.
It took me approximately 2 weeks from start to finish to fully complete the Yardistry Greenhouse. If I had someone to assist me in the build I could have finished it a lot sooner. I could not be happier with how this project turned out. Once winter hits, I will figure out what I need to adjust on the Yardistry Greenhouse but for now I am enjoying looking at it in my garden!
