      Hi,

      Welcome to the forum.

      Any idea of the make and model of the greenhouse and if you have or can get hold of an assembly manual, as it will make things a lot easier for you.

      Still plenty of time to make use of a greenhouse this summer and an ideal place to shelter tender pot plants etc over winter.

        Not sure on the make, depends whats in the neighbours garden when i go over tonight with a spanner........:):):):)

        Got it from freecycle, so not sure of make, size or even the quality. This is just to see if i can keep anything alive and even baring fruit, flowers etc.

        These are normally how green i get

                        Hi,

                        Have to say that does look well neglected ! - what about the glass and all the fixing bolts and clips etc, are they all there ?

                        You might find buying a new set of bolts, clips and black glazing strip a worthwhile investment.

                        If its too far gone, you can find some bargains , even free like this one, though a bit of a drive.
