Anyone familiar with "Bootstrap Farmer" DIY Greenhouse kits or something similar?

Yeah super easy. Here is an idea for your posts, something similar should be available local to you. https://www.farmstore.com/product/4-treated-blunt-wood-post-10-ft Id look on Craigslist and Facebook, ive bought posts a couple time from farmers who will buy a truckload of post bundles, and sell what they dont use. 10 footers might be a little harder to find, but if you keep looking you'll find them somewhere. Even if you have to pay $20 a piece for the posts, thats about $650 (get 2 extra posts to set where you want your gates). 30 fence panels would run about $750. You could probably find a farmer that has a fence post setter for his tractor, they basically just hammer the posts into the ground, no concrete needed. Not sure if they can set a 10' fence post or not. If not, figure (2) 80lb bags of concrete per hole. 64 bags will run around $5 a bag, but if you buy 42 or more you get a 20% discount. So about $250 for concrete. Couple set of gate hardware will run $100, heavy duty staples will probably run $60-$70. For under $2k you could have all the materials for a rock solid fence :D
I appreciate you taking time to look this stuff up. I know that you took time to do it and not everyone is willing to do that on here. I just don't want you to think that I blew you off...
 
Tell ya what dont buy any thing without at least a 7 ft side wall or you just end up running 1 row down the center. I run 6 plants in a 20-30 an it gets tight 2 rows i have 7 ft side walls.center hight is 14 ft.View attachment 4675106
I know it's not much to go off of, but this is the only place that I found anything about the sidewalls. I'm guessing that they are not too bad, but we also don't know how tall this guy is lol... It's 11.4ft in the middle...
