First green house

I have just bought my first proper green house it's a 6 x 10
And I intend on building it on a brick base of around 6 courses to give me more hight but fist I have to remove a old shed that's been there for around 40 years the people next door recon it's pretty much rotten way already

 

Congratulations, you will have years of enjoyment from it. Hurry up and build it so you can put stuff in over the winter!

 

I have a solid centre with an l-shaped earth border. Perfick!

 

Here is the site with out the shed
As for floor guys I want a boarder down one side against the fence and on the other side I will have will have a solid path and paved all way so I can have a bench on it and store pots under it

 

You've got a bit of clearing up to do! Save those wooden steps and put them on eBay if you don't want them - you'll be surprised what people are asking for them. The chicken wire could be useful too. And the bricks!

Good plan to keep one side as an earth border- make sure it's the sunniest side, though, it might not be the fence side. You could also prune away some privet where the trellis fence is to get more light in.

 

I will be saving the ladders yes and the wire is what I use for rapping the banana plants up over winter
But rest if it is off in skip got some new bricks
Yes I will trim the privet I might even take it out if the guys on other side want to help with some fencing as it's about 4 foot wide
So I got the footing in ready to start with the brick work in morning so should have that up tom ready to put the green house up Sunday

 

I like these threads as we can all see how you are doing

I like the beehive compost bin as well

 

Thanks spruce I made it because at one point I wanted to start bee keeping but was put off buy the swarming

 

WBC style of beehive , did you have the plans on the correct size , yes the swarming but I don't keep full colony's in the back garden only half size you wouldn't know I had any nor do next door

 

Hmmm interesting spruce will look int half colony's
I did not have any plans for the compost bin just made it from what I thought looked right really

Well walls are up and hang of the steps as I ran out of bricks but in ready to put the green house on tom if it's not raining or a tropical storm they keep saying we are going to get

 

Maybe wait until after the storm! Looking good so far.

 

Hi

Looking good , my only worry is the steps as they may get slippy or carrying heavy compost plants, watering cans etc in and out , can you do a door so its flush to the ground .
I would imagine you may have to make up a new door way thinking about it as its a aluminum greenhouse ?

I have slipped in my greenhouse and nearly went through the panels on more than one occasion my own fault wearing flip flops luckily it was the tomatoes that saved me

ps beehives are made to exact sizes for the frames to fit in all based on bee width other wise they will make wild comb and getting out the honey would cause uproar with the bees .

Good idea about slipping but the flags I got are a good ruff top and the front will be a lot less of a step as it will be decking when I build the extension on the house and remove the garage

The compost bin was not made as a hive mate just in the style of one it was always a compost bin but I was into bee hives

 

Well managed to get it all up a bit wet like and my fingers hurt from the glass clips but it's all done
