    HI Folks,
    I've just done the anual chore of cleaning and disinfecting the greenhouse, and thought you guys and gals mite like to see a wee pic, now where i live can get kinda windy and the aluminium framed one i used to have, was battered last year, so i needed something sturdier, hence the use of single glazed upvc frames screwed to 4x4 posts, and a 2x2 framed roof, it does the job in the space i have, it's only 6ftx6ft, but brought on my sweet peas, marigolds, livingston daisy's, and dalias, and of course my tomatoes,(including cherry blacks), and this one will not blow anywhere!

    I like it mrmck! The roof is excellent plus loads of vents to keep the air moving. Is it all secondhand?

    yep JWK,the only new parts are the door bolts, and a few of the roof glass panes, but most of it is all reclaimed

    That's looking good mrmck, it'll be really cosy for over-wintering stuff. An excellent resourceful idea.
