First green house

looks great you did well in this weather , whats the hole in the wall for ?

 

Thanks sorry should have said we have a cat that loves to spend time out side as used to sleep in the shed I took down so I put a flap in so she get in out of rain and cold if we are out or in bed

 

That's nice Richard,

I have a centre path with U shaped borders around. Definitely would not have solid / paved and grow in containers. I have done that in the past but the watering is far more time consuming.

Not sure about your door though ... I would want to walk straight in without having to go up & over, particularly with an arm full of plants / pots / compost bags ... or a wheel barrow (but maybe that's not an option anyway with a single-door entrance to a greenhouse? )

If you change your mind, retrospectively, maybe a stable-door type? replace lower brick wall with a half-door, and cut the ali-frame base rail, or incorporate it into the top of the bottom door in some crafty way - I expect it has a guide rail for the bottom runner-wheel on the sliding door.

The extra height of the brick walls will give you some fantastic opportunities for growing taller / more unusual things

 

Hey Kirsten thanks for the idea of not having the steps but the front of the green house will eventually have some decking to it so it might just be one step up and the door needs the base rail to run on do can not cut it off
I want one side of the green house as a bench to pot plants on and grow seedlings for my allotment on so I will be having a bed down one side
After work today I got most of the flags down to create to base for the bench and foot path

 

Yes I have thought about it and once garage is down I will be putting mains water in there and a electric feed too from the consumer unit but at the min there no where to run them and will be digging a lot with the 360 when it all gets going so at the min it would be something in the way really but thanks for the thoughts any opinions welcome guys in new to all this and need all the help I can get

 

I was going to say cat flap as well and thought nnnnooo cant be that

 

Hey guys I made the bench and can start to get some pots and bits back in

 

this is coming together quickly , the holes in the bricks are you going to fill in as it will be slug heaven if you dont.

 

Lol yes spruce just been filling them with foam a min a go ready to put a layer of pointing over it

 

It's looking great Richard. The amount of daily progress makes it a pleasure to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing the moggy curled up and fast asleep in it,
