How do I build a greenhouse?

I’m building a greenhouse and I am using antique windows. But I am having trouble thinking on how to get the windows to stack onto each other and not collapse and “fold” into each other.

    If I were you, I would build it with 2 x 4's and place the windows in the 2 x 4 frames as you would any window, albeit there will be wall to wall windows. As it settles the 2 x 4 frames will protect the glass and window frames from collapsing.

    You probably need to build a frame to mount the windows in and caulk around them.

    I would also frame it with 2x4s and 2x2s in between for nailing strips.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G8Im9FpSKw this is a series showing all aspects of building one..... just click on Tim Blair, and then the videos link on his page to find them all
