    I've been checking all the pains of glass and none of them appear to be cracked or broken however a number do have chips out of the side of the pains is that a problem?

    Is it horticultural glass, and is it a brand new greenhouse?

      I managed to pick up some staging for a steal on the local free ads :) cost me £20 +£10 delivery for this huge 2 tier bench which had come out of greenhouse the same size :dancy: probably could do with a sand down and a lick of stain but other than that it's a huge saving! I thought I was going to be using pasting tables for the foreseeable future :biggrin:

          No Ziggy I'm being a lazy sod and paying someone to come and do it for me :redface: I came to the conclusion that I don't do well with diy at the best of times and I'd most likely end up putting my foot through it :gaah:

          I'm getting some quotes off someone on Sunday and I will probably get some more for comparison but I'm not really sure how much Its going to cost... the ground will need leveling and a solid base laying and then the actual greenhouse will need constructing...

            Moan :rofllol: about how many as they may crack when putting in , I had this and they gave me £££ back to buy new glass worth asking , think they know in transit what happens by now .
            Dont blame you getting somone in to do it , as somthing you realy wanted can go the opposite way very quickly:ccheers:
