    This old 8'x6' was here when we moved in but eventually had to be replaced.

    The new one 10'4"x7'4", finished today (at last). I think I'll be needing it as next weekend is looking to be very cold compared to today. Someone else put it up, not me.

      I'm going to pretend you didn't say that :) Very smart looking, and I like the green colour :)

      Approve of the Louvres low down - I think they provide much better ventilation, by convection, when not blazingly hot than having to chuck the door open to get a through-draught.

      Not sure two roof vents is enough though :scratch: Looks to be using Bayliss, or similar, openers ? Good stuff :)

      Have you got some Staging on your Santa Claus list? !!

      Hi Kristen, I ordered a 4ft collapsable table/staging and waterbut with the greenhouse so I'm ok there. I hope the two vents are adequate as the door is a little narrower that I expected. I also hope the 2kw Parsene heater will keep it at 5c with additional bubble wrap.

          I reckon you will be fine on all counts. You will be able to keep it cool enough in Summer with door open, for sure, its just that I think that extra vents gives you more options - maybe I'm just living in over-kill land though!

              I'd settle for the water butt.
              I'm one of the idle - hide in the warm in winter - gardeners. At my age I creak in the cold weather:heehee:
