Default Greenhouse?

I want to grow veggies in hydroponic shelf beds

I can devote say 10' x 12' with the majority of
the slanted roof facing South.
I want to spend less than $1500 and I would
like to be finished within 5 months or so.

I'm wondering if I can just weld up a frame from
say, 1-1/2" square tube, send out sections for
powder coating and use recycled armored
glass panes to form walls and ceiling?

What approach is working the best for you and
what resources do you recommend? What would you
have done differently?

Thanks!

Winston...check out the local recyclers for building materials.

One can use recycled windows/patio doors for the glazing.
