Do I buy a metal kit with a clear plastic hood?
or build one from wood and try to cover with fiberglass? Cost vs time?
Which is more efficient?

How big do you want it?
Hello Tom; if I were building a greenhouse, I would do such from used materials. Windows are easy to come by and I have seen some that would be perfect for this for free, actually.
If you have access to any pallets, that would be free wood, also.
You might also be able to locate used metal or fiberglass.
It might be worth while for you to look on Craig's List, as I have seen so many things for free, which could be used for a Greenhouse!!!
I hope that this gives you some helpful ideas!!! Take Care!
You can customize by building your own if you are a good DIY carpenter. In the end, unless you want a one season unit, the cost will be the same as finding a quality pre-made one that fits your needs and much less time. There are hundreds or more online to look at.
The magazine called Mother Earth has some nice plans for green houses using old windows. Also check with your local library for plans.
Thank you for writing.
