Green house build

Thanks Steve will try and if I cant perhaps my friend Marley will help me again [always something to do with me ] :thku:

 

Just put the end panels up and some on the side ready now for my vents and door also put up another stage/shelfing, hopefully tomorrow if weather ok ohhhhhh I could always go inside it now ;hehe:

this is the walk in house that is no longer needed

 

Nathan - that's brilliant.

 

Tell you what, the way you've built that, as my dear old dad would have said, it's likely to; "see you out!"

Well done!

 

Nice work Nathan, it looks very sturdy.
I`d keep an eye on the temperature of the dark stained timber during the summer..if we get one that is :wink: as it can get mega hot (140F+) perhaps causing damage to the corrugated plastic if its in contact.
I changed the colour of mine for that reason, it now runs cool and reflects more light :D

 

Thanks for the advice Hex, What colour did you do your timber if you dont mind me asking

 

brilliant white so it glows in the dark :wink:
I found an older thread with a pic.

Its been exposed to all weathers for ~18 months and its still as good as the day it went on. The dark timber surfaces around the bottom were over 60C in the summer while the white surfaces were actually cold to the touch. Being a mad scientist i tend to test these kind of things :D

 

I used high solids %, water-based acrylic. Its around £20 a tin but you`ll only need one.

 

Thanks to you both will take all that on board :thmb:

 

I HAVE FINISHED MY PROJECT after millions of cups of tea I have finished my greenhouse lots of room I thought






Even had the time to clear my tools and things to make room for patio furniture and my wife`s plant

It was hard work but worth every minute cant wait till the weather gets better :thmb:

 

Thank you for messaage and will have a cuppa soon, we must drink gallons just love our tea, I have to have de- caf because of the caffaine content {headache problem} You say you have 3 what sizes if you dont mind me asking :cnfs:

 

Hi Guys,
I have started to build a greenhouse with plastic tubes and the height is 2 mts - the length is Mts 5.50 and the width is Mts 3.20 so it should be a useable size. I still have to cover same with some form of polythene and am studying a "woven" polythene that I have found on a site in USA the cost shipping to a friend in NYC will make a total cost of abt US$260 but it will be "complete" inasmuch as the edges will be heat sealed - COMMENTS ??
