Greenhouse location

I've still not started any work on this project as yet, I now considering Hbc's idea of siting next to the house for max sunlight over the church wall. A lean to greenhouse is out of the question as I already have bought and 8x6 greenhouse that is still boxed up and in various places around the house.

I dont really want to unbox it so to speak until I'm ready to put it up, can anyone advise me if the glazing clips (sort of a squiggly w shape) fit on the outside or inside? I'm worried if I site it next to a wall that I may need access to replace glazing in the future.

Steve,

Glazing clips fit on the outside and its not fun fitting them when its cold!

8x6 greenhouses can be lifted complete by two people, my experience anyway.

just a thought, but why would you glaze the side nearest the wall? The guttering would mean that the frame couldn't go against the wall but some battening would provide the weather-proofing you require.

Make sure the floor of the greenhouse is below the house's damp-course.

good luck

 

Steve, put it where the shed is. Going by your photo`s there is NO problem with the light levels, and that is the most important. As for heat, you can do what everyone else does, and control it artificially.:gnthb:

 

Steve,

On reflection, forget my above post as you've already got your greenhouse and go with David's suggestion although I would make the path a bit wider to make access easier and safer.

 

If you have a problem putting in the glazing clips use a small screwdriver for leverage.:thumb:
