            I've not got much done today it's been raining constantly but, I've put the frame on its foundations. I'm struggling with what type of fixing to secure the frame to the foundations with???

                I'll take some pictures tomorrow once I've secured it properly. Then it's the glazing and finally put on the door then it's complete :hapydancsmil:

                I was in a local shop (Swansea) today and I bought a kilo of chicken manure pellets for £1.00
                It was called buyology. It's like Poundland etc

                        Spacemunkey don't attach your greenhouse to the foundations unless you know it's absolutely square or the glass won't fit properly. :)

                          Yes, I read that in the instructions, it said to insert a pane into each corner and make sure it fits perfectly. If it doesn't???? Do I, loosen/tighten certain bolts to square it up???
