My dad wanted a greenhouse, so we built one. He got the plans online I believe at the University of Tennessee website somewhere. It was put together with off the shelf hardware and lumber from home depot/lowes. The covering was ordered online and is specifically for greenhouses.
Much of the wood structure was cut and assembled in a single day. The "doors" were a little more of a challenge since we wanted a nice fit. Overall we spent a few days getting it up. So far it has withstood 50 MPH+ winds, as a tornado passed by not too far from here.
Temperature differential between inside and outside is about 9 degrees F on a bright and hot day like today when there is little wind. With a small breeze it's only about 5 degrees difference. On a cloudy day, the difference ends up being only about 1 or 2 degrees.
