Bootstrap Farmer 10' × 12' Hobby Greenhouse Kit with Scissor Door & Roll-Up Sides
Start With More: A Backyard Greenhouse With Door & Ventilation Upgrades Included
Skip purchasing two popular upgrades separately with the Bootstrap Farmer 10' × 12' Hobby Greenhouse Kit with Scissor Door and Roll-Up Sides. This package starts with Bootstrap Farmer's 10' × 12' Hobby Greenhouse and adds the Scissor Door Kit and Roll-Up Side Kit, giving you the same compact 120-square-foot Hobby Greenhouse with a durable metal entrance and adjustable side ventilation already included.
With a 10' × 12' footprint, the greenhouse provides 120 square feet of protected growing space while maintaining a manageable backyard size. Its 7'11" peak height leaves room to work comfortably and grow taller crops, while the frame uses heavy-duty 1 3/8" galvanized steel tubing for long-term durability.
The structure is covered with 6 mil greenhouse plastic with a 4-year rating, and pre-bent frame components help simplify DIY assembly. Better yet, the entire package ships in multiple standard boxes—no motor-freight delivery or special unloading arrangements required.
Why Choose the Scissor Door & Roll-Up Side Package?
The core Hobby Greenhouse is designed to be customized with optional accessories. This package gives you a head start by including two useful upgrades as part of the kit.
- Scissor-style metal door included — Upgrade the greenhouse entrance with Bootstrap Farmer's Scissor Door Kit.
- Roll-up sides included — Open the greenhouse sides when additional airflow and ventilation are needed.
- 120 sq. ft. growing area — The 10' × 12' footprint provides substantial protected growing space without the size of a larger high tunnel.
- 7'11" peak height — Plenty of headroom for working inside the greenhouse and growing taller plants.
- Galvanized steel construction — Heavy-duty 1 3/8" galvanized tubing forms the greenhouse frame.
- Greenhouse plastic included — The kit includes enough 6 mil, 4-year-rated greenhouse film to cover the structure.
- Designed for DIY assembly — Pre-bent components, included hardware, print instructions, and a video guide help walk you through construction.
- Ships without freight — Multiple-box parcel shipping eliminates the unloading requirements associated with larger freight-shipped greenhouse kits.

Locally Sourced Lumber
Bootstrap Farmer specifies the following lumber for this configuration:
| Application | Lumber |
|---|---|
| Baseboards | (3) 2" × 6" × 12' boards |
| Optional roll-up side hipboards | (2) 2" × 6" × 12' boards |
Built-In Ventilation With Roll-Up Sides
Temperature and airflow can change quickly inside a greenhouse. The included Roll-Up Side Kit gives you a way to increase natural ventilation by opening the greenhouse sides when conditions call for additional airflow.
Rather than purchasing the roll-up system separately after building the greenhouse, this package includes it from the beginning.
A Metal Entrance From the Start
This package also includes Bootstrap Farmer's Scissor Door Kit, providing a scissor-style metal greenhouse entrance as part of your initial setup.
The result is a Hobby Greenhouse configuration that already incorporates both an upgraded entrance and adjustable side ventilation while retaining the compact footprint of the original structure.
Add More Upgrades as Your Garden Grows
The included Scissor Door and Roll-Up Side Kits don't prevent you from customizing the greenhouse further. Additional compatible accessories may include:
- Shade cloth for reducing heat and sun exposure
- Insect netting
- Purlin kits for additional structural support
- Batten straps
- End Wall Door Frame Kit for installing a conventional door
If you add the optional End Wall Door Frame Kit, it provides the framework for installing your own conventional door. The conventional door itself is not included with that optional kit and must be purchased separately.
Some product photos and videos may show additional accessories or upgrades that are not included with this package. Please use the included-components list above to confirm what comes with your greenhouse.
Grow More From a Compact Footprint
The 120-square-foot interior gives you flexibility to create a growing space around your own goals. Use the greenhouse for seed starting, extending vegetable harvests into the shoulder seasons, growing herbs and flowers, protecting sensitive plants, or overwintering plants that need additional protection.
The greenhouse can accommodate a variety of growing layouts, including raised beds, containers, vertical growing systems, and intensive planting methods.
With nearly eight feet of peak height, you also have room for taller crops and comfortable access while tending plants.
Preparing Your Site & Building the Greenhouse
Choose a reasonably level location with good drainage and firm ground. Before beginning construction, clear the site of rocks, roots, debris, and other obstacles that could interfere with installation.
Bootstrap Farmer estimates that most builds take approximately one to two days with two people on a prepared site. A single person can complete the project with additional time. Actual assembly time will depend on experience, site conditions, and installation of the included upgrades.
Basic tools are used for assembly, and Bootstrap Farmer provides both written and video instructions to guide the process.
Detailed print and video assembly instructions are available to help guide you through the build:
