The Walipini Project (aka greenhouse shenanigans)

Depends on where the glass finishes. I'm trying to either butt it up tight to a piece of wood to get a runoff or to let the glass extend beyond the top plate so it's not an issue (but a physical stop for the glass is a problem with that solution

 

Ah. That may LOOK like a design feature but was in fact, a collapsing building.

I realise now that a nail will suffice to stop glass falling downward of course and that a simple overhang of the glass should solve thihngs if push comes to shove. I would like something a little prettier though

 

Lead would be nice and I get what you mean on the condensation gap now. All timber greenhouses have damp spots in corners, it's unavoidable so I'm not getting too concerned over it. If there's a way of preventing it then I'll certainly take a look

 

Yes that is them @gks

 

Exactly what I'll need I should think

 

They should work even with your timber wall plate

 

I've found them on Amazon so might buy a pot and see how they do.

Quotes for glass just for RHS is around £1000...

 

I may also try making the rebate with a saw. I've done a test piece and it works fine, I just need to get the depth setting right

 

No pictures but have made small progress; the middle and RHS corner rafters are up and the LHS riser frame (wrong term but it's a vertical frame so the rafters are same pitch as the other side) is in place.
Rain has continually stopped play and it's very annoying!

Oh and I've drilled through the toplate and put in the masonry bolts to keep the toplate in place

 

Small excitement here as posty has just delivered a rebate router bit with various sized bearings. Can't try it out today but tomorrow morning should see me caked in sawdust
