Inverness Part 1 - building the brick base

26/2/2016

I had a great week in Inverness, laying the foundations and flooring and building the walls for a 3m wide by 6m long greenhouse.

Did you know, Inverness can have snow for 3 months a year - so this greenhouse will need to be strong and tough to withstand this weather - and the bricks need to hold up against the frost.

Great for growing flowers and other plants though - the nighttime can only last 3 hours in summer.

I'm working on getting back here in 4 weeks with all the timber and glass to construct the greenhouse on these walls, and I'm really looking forward to it.

This is such a friendly and welcoming place - so long as I do a good job though eh! Don't drop your guard just yet lad!

NEXT GREENHOUSE..

Back to London to complete a black greenhouse with a double glazed roof.

This week I built a small greenhouse for Richard in central London. The garden is long and thin so the greenhouse cannot take up much room, shouldn't be taller than 2.5m and needs to look great!

Richard (the human one!) and I think this is a great design for those with smaller gardens as it's still very roomy inside with ample headspace and shelving capacity.

As it's relatively small, I chose to construct this greenhouse in only one visit. So I brought my mixer, barrows, sand, cement and bricks and all the greenhouse and glass with me in my large van - well, not quite ALL the greenhouse....
