    My instructions said something ridiculous like 8 hours was the quickest time. No chance!
    Remembering mine's 8 x 6 it took four bitterly cold days in February. You made need assistance from time to time as the frames can be a bit wobbly in the process of building. :)

      I did my 8 x 10 in about seven hours Myself, including the odd cup of tea, no, meals or bicckies though, Just job and finish (though I had dug and slabbed the founds the previous day, so it was just a matter of building the greenhouse)

        Jack you did well to build it in that time. :) I must say though my work wasn't continuous. Being female there's lots of other things that get in the way, like the males of the family that need feeding and housework. :frown:

          Ok Gcc, I get where you're coming from. :) What doesn't help is I detest cooking!

          I will be getting the 8X6 version of this greenhouse in the next few days from Tesco's I can't wait :) then all I've got to do is get someone to lay a proper base and stick it up for me "busted"

          Just a quick note Scrungee, check through your glass packs and make sure there are none broken. I had a total of 5 broken panes when I got mine, and all where in the centre of a couple of packs.

          Nice buy BTW!

          Steve...:)
