My greenhouse

15 comments


If Id known how tough this little project was going to be I probably would not have bothered – first of all which greenhouse glass or plastic ?

Theres so much bad press about poly sheets been blown away but is glass safe….so after much thought I decided on a twin walled polycarb, the only thing is the sheets are opaque & it was more money than I intended paying.

The assembly I found difficult I decided to check of all the parts against the double sided list & found some fittings & a couple of panels missing, the base had razor sharp edges which soon had me bleeding all over it,

I was half way through putting it together when I fell victim to some nasty virus which laid me up for a week anyway its very nearly all done although Im still waiting for some parts but I have pictured the results along with the new planting I have done around it – have a look at the original picture of the site & I hope you agree it looks alot better now.

Lots of people seem to be getting this 'bug' that's going round. Shame it held you up - but your greenhouse is ready to fill, now!

I miss my twin-walled polycarb greenhouse. As you say, perhaps a bit more expensive in initial outlay, but, i hope, you'll soon be reaping the benefits, and be happy that you made this choice. :-)

Thanks for all your replies they are much apreciated.
Virus now gone & Im on various vitamins to try & give me a little boost.

So as for the greenhouse I did have a couple of problems with missing parts but these are being sorted & I would have no hesitation recommending "The Greenhouse Wharehouse" to any one who may be interested.

There is one problem with the Greenhouse Wharehouse, Davey, if you live in northern Scotland. The carriage to postcodes of Perth and north (PH, IV,AB) is astronomical.

50 mile an hour gusts meant one panel got loose & then once the wind got to work two more blew across next door....thank goodness for Duct tape
