Greenhouse errection

Hi All,
Well I have finally brought my greenhouse and it was delivered on Wednesday. I now have the daunting task of errecting it!
To be honest, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew.

What would people recommend? Try and errect it myself, with the help fo the wife (Well I say help but I can see more arguments than help:lollol
Or try to find someone who will errect it for me and pay them?

Does anyone know of anyone in Staffordshire who does this as a job?

 

Hi Snappers

You can proberbly do it if you realy want to,If you have any DIY experience.
I mean there is no hurry,take your time and enjoy the experience with your dear wife..............It could bring you closer together,..............the challange..........and think of the satisfaction when it is complete........Or divorce lol :dh:

GOOD LUCK............and keep us posted :thumb:

 

To my knowledge, no one specialises in soley puting up greenhouses. Either a garden maintance contractor or a small builder or handyman will be your best bet if you dont want to do it.

Nothing particularly technical about puting them up but the instructions can often be wrong or parts missing etc.

 

Get a roll of duck tape-and you can`t go far wrong chuck.

Might want to consider some expandable foam spray too.

Just a thought.

 

As long as you get the base flat and everything square ..it should be pretty straightforward.
I put mine up by myself and its 9.5ft high

 

Snappers, more often than not the parts are bundled together in the component they are to become. That is, left hand wall, right hand wall etc. Just follow the instructions quietly and you will be fine. Don`t try to assmble a greenhouse, assemble each unit, then combine them to make a greenhouse.:thumb:

 

Thanks everyone for your answers. I was hoping to get it up in time to over winter my plants but not sure that is going to happen now!
I think I have the general idea but there are some parts that just do not make any sense at all in the instructions and some pieces that I can not see where they go! lol. It seemed like a good idea at the time!

Ah well, I'm off work next week so maybe, ill have a go at it then.

p.s. Does anyone know of a good divorce lawer, just in case!!!

Snappers...just do as you're told and you'll be fine:lollol:

 

Snappers, any problems re the greenhouse,:D PM me. :thumb:

 

I'm a Man, SINCE when did we ever do what we are told????????????? And even when we do, we still do it wrong so we can t win anyway:dh:

See, I'm beginning to get the picture of how a womans mind works.

 

I have put up 2 greenhouses with my husband. If you have time off work next week then you should be able to take a couple of days or so doing it. Take your time, read the instructions carefully and you shouldnn't have too many probs. I seem to remember the doors being the most complex and I would say it is prob a job for two people.

 

Snappers..I had sussed you were a bloke:D..another of us who have to obey her indoors..:thumb:

 

When I bought my greenhouse it was all in the price so I did not have to put the darn thing up but I was told to make sure the floor was flat and even. There was me with a long spirit level a spade and a long bit of wood. it took me 2 days just doing that and all by myself. I must have looked a right plonker to my neighbours.:lollol:
