Sunny Days! 9x7ft with double doors

25/7/2012

This greenhouse looks just the right size and colour for this garden. It blends in really well and makes great use of a small corner of the garden. Although the greenhouse is relatively small the height of it makes it spacious inside - it is 1.8m at it’s lowest point, rising to 3m at the ridge - so there is plenty of room for shelving all over without feeling boxed in.

Thanks Jenny and Colin for making so welcome and for choosing a Green Bug greenhouse.

Double doors open showing herringbone path, potting station underneath opening window and shelves on both sides.

The Lichen paint colour (Farrow & Ball chart) blends the greenhouse into the garden.

Take the tour in that sunny day around this greenhouse...

Southampton - digging mud

13/7/2012

I’m building another one of the 11.5ft by 16.5ft greenhouses with the porch and cold frames either side of the door.

The owner wants the greenhouse sited where a swimming pool once sat. The pool had been filled in with hard core so there is a stable base here once I cleared the top 6 inches of sludge.

It rained for the whole 4 days of my visit - mostly the rain was very heavy - but thankfully the gazebo I use is big enough so I am sheltered from it.

I’m really pleased with how it looks in the end. It’s a great feeling to have it rise out of all that mud and mess and look so clean, solid and posh!

Eric, the owner, is shortly getting a friend to come along with his digger and scrape away the rest of this sludge/earth to level off the site and lay some grass seed down. It will be transformed shortly.
