North Yorkshire

I’m trying something new - throwing out the old rule book - I’m going to build one greenhouse at a time from now on!  Sounds obvious right but I usually build 4 at a time so the glass and materials orders can overlap and that gives me time contingencies.  The problem is you folks have had to wait too many weeks between my first visit to do the base and my coming back with the top and glass to finish it.



No more waiting - once I’ve been to built the base and walls I’ll be back again in a couple of weeks with everything else to finish it (*within reason though eh!).

We played around with the orientation of this greenhouse before I made a start on digging out.  There’s no turning back once the foundations are in so this part is quite important to get right and can be fun.

The weedblock sheeting is down over a layer of aggregate once the interior had been levelled out and my customer, Phil, has decided on the pattern he would like for the paving inside....

...and here it is, nearly finished.

I’m just about to dig out foundations for one long cold frame along the back (we felt it would look better than having two small ones either side of the porch and it’s better placed for the sun in this location).

We had a bit of rain on the last day but the flags are all down and solid and the gravel has been laid between them.  I like having the raised bed along the rear on this one too.

So set your clocks guys - see you back here in a couple of weeks.
