        Only trouble is when I bolted it down the right hand door would not close, something must have been out of square as I build it on the lawn. I have removed the door and will have to plane it to fit.

          We were walking round the garden center Sat and come across a couple of grow houses.The largest one was half the size of your one.They wanted £100 all but a penny and not half as well made as yours.Is that twinwall polycarbonate and what is is like to cut?? Did you purchase it in wicks or online??

          Hi trogre

          The reason I built my own way because I thought the one that I could buy were very flimsy and expensive. The polycarbonate is 6mm twinwall it is very easy to cut with a sharp Stanley knife and a straight edge. I got it of eBay when the seller had a sale it was 10 sheets of 2' x 4' for £40 delivered (I can't remember the seller at he moment though)
