Woodfest report

Woodfest was great fun.  I met so many people - all of whom seemed to want greenhouses!  Some had bases being put down but no-one to build their greenhouse, or had an awkward corner site that no-one was willing to build in, or a soil pipe in the way which others weren't willing to work/lead-flash around.

I spent 2 days here and enjoyed every minute.  In the quiet times, and before the gates opened, I got around to drawing up plans for those waiting for quotes.  I'll try to get these off in the post in the next few days.

Definitely coming here again next year.

Worthing - supply and fit for Steve

13/7/2017

Steve is a builder - entirely able to build his own base for this greenhouse but we also discussed my supplying all the timber and glass in a kit form for his to erect the greenhouse on site himself.

I spent just under 2 days with Steve and his wonderful wife and we had a lot of fun & good conversation but I can safely say he was very relieved not to have to do the work himself.  Given that I have to transport everything anyway I'm not sure it would have made that much difference to the price.

Please note the way the glass is arrised smootly at the corners by Pearsons Glass - my suppliers - and the angled cuts at the ends to push the away from the timber into the gutting.

The 3 coats of Profilan Impra Opac paint throughout (4 coats to the mahogany crested ridge) should mean you won't have to reapply again for 10 years.

This greenhouse was constructed using premium grade tanalised pine timber (not accoya for a change!).

Back to Bob in Sheffield - Accoya greenhouse with mahogany cresting & oak finials.

Robin,
I’ve just been to have another peek. I feel like a kid with a new trainset.
 
Now installed the plants and taken a couple of snaps which I hope does the greenhouse the justice it deserves. Please use them as you wish.
 
Suffice to say Allyson and myself are hugely delighted with the greenhouse. It has exceeded our highest expectations. Thank you so much for your skills and hard work.
 
Thank you for your card etc. I have returned the Guild of Master Craftsman Questionnaire describing my satisfaction.
Thank you again.
Best

Bob.

Thanks to Bob for his glowing message - need I say more about this greenhouse?

This is only the second accoya greenhouse I have built so far (it's such a new product) but already more than half of my current order book is for accoya and I think the proportion will grow making it the most common choice.

The benefits are that accoya doesn't rot (50 year guaratee, 25 year if under water) doesn't warp/expand/take on water so doors and windows remain exactly as installed forever and paint adherence is much better - hopefully, you won't need to repaint anything for at least 10 years but the accoya doesn't ever need protecting if you don't.

Bob asked me to add glazing bars to the side and rear windows so that all the lines run in symmetry which I think is a great detail.

We filled this small greenhouse with shelving space whilst leaving access to the 3 windows (on on each elevation).

I am so delighted with the finish of this greenhouse, and it's great to know Bob is so happy as well.
