    Within the next month or so, I shall be erecting an aluminum greenhouse..(purchased last year) on to hard standing...ie paving slabs already in place behind the Garage. I have opted to site it there as the rear garden is not ginormous and I want my raised beds on the garden area, plus a chicken run etc.

    So, the greenhouse is 12' x 6'. I shall be building staging down one length, so any ideas what I should do with the end of the Greenhouse and the other side of it. Should I continue the staging at the end of it? Should I use the other side for pots and growbags etc. I would hate to have staging around the three sides and then find I could have done with leaving some floor space.

    What do you think?:thumb:

    Tweaky, just put staging down one side for now, you can always alter the set up for next year when you know what you want from the greenhouse.:thumb::D

    Tweaky also make your staging easy removable mine is on brackets and I can remove sections to accommodate plants as they grow taller,you can vary the set up to suit your needs and what ever your growing.

    Definitely a good idea to have staging that is easily removable if like me you end up wanting to fill it full of plants to overwinter. You'll then need all the floor space you can get

    Defiantly something I shall bear in mind.

    To be honest, I can't remember how high it is, as I bought it early last year...think it's 8foot at the apex, so I assume it goes from 6 foot at the sides...will check it out.:thumb:
