Genuinely bespoke

23/2/2017

My customers want a greenhouse to fit exactly over a brick base left over from a previous structure.  It measures 3.1m wide by 3.8m long.  This isn't an option that I know anyone else offers but it's something I'm more than happy to provide - after all, I do all the work myself building the base, designing the greenhouse, building and installing the finished greenhouse  - so it doesn't matter what the dimensions are to me.

This job is about a 4-hour drive from home but luckily I was working just up the road on another greenhouse when the acceptance form for this job came through and I could quickly check the base dimensions before starting to build the structure in my workshop in Wales.  Actually the base was 1ft larger than I had been informed so it was well worth the visit.
I'll be back here in 2 weeks with the greenhouse and glass to complete the installation.

Please check back then - and if you have any questions or comments I'd love to hear from you.

Video of my own greenhouse

18/2/2017

I finally got around to filming a short tour video of my own greenhouse.

I'm looking forward to getting in there this spring and organising the capillary matting / guttering watering system, the strawberry tower in vertical soil pipe and seeing how the extractor copes with humidity.  We've recorded over 60 degrees in there already and it's only Feb - but the auto-opening roof windows opened pretty quickly and calmed the heat down.

As from this week Green Bug are offering Accoya as another alternative option to the premium grade tanalised timber we've traditionally used.  Our tanalised timber is imported from Sweden - but this Occaya comes all the way from New Zealand - yet is the most environmentally sustainable product we can imagine - from fast growing replenished pine and lasting a minimum of 60 years without any maintenance.

Learn more at the Accoya website by clicking the above logo or download the short information leaflet.

Just booked my pitch for this summer's Woodfest - Festival of Wood.  I'll be there all weekend with my tent attached to a large greenhouse which I'll erect on site the day before. 

I always go to Woodfest.  It'll be great to be a part of it this year.

Click on the logo opposite for more information on this festival from their website.

In the meantime, my next greenhouse is coming along great.  The window frames and 4x2 rafters are painted and airing. 

I'll be going South again next week to build the base for this 3m by 4m greenhouse but having built a lot of it already I should be back with all the glass and timber to complete the installation only a week or two after.

Back to Petersfield

It was great to get back to Petersfield after only a week away with all the completed structure, glass and shelving to complete the greenhouse.  Apart from the cold the weather was perfect.

Thanks to my customers Jon and Norma for making me so welcome.  Jon made the equivalent of a Christmas dinner each evening of my visit which kept me firing on all cylinders and got the greenhouse completed in just 3 days.

I put together a video showing the full process of construction, from digging out for foundations to fitting the finials.
