Click here to see earlier base-building entry.

You can do a lot in a small space of the garden. 

This greenhouse is very tall with ample growing space on shelves, lots of light and warmed air - once this frost goes!

Here you see all the materials distributed around the base before I start building.

The customer has chosen double doors which are more in proportion with the narrow width. 


We also have a large brick-sided cold frame along one side with 3 opening windows.


The greenhouse has 2 automatic opening windows in the roof and a manual opening window at the rear above the potting station.


Unfortunately it started getting dark from 3pm so I didn’t get any pictures of the finished greenhouse.  I still needed to fill some joints and screw heads around the structure and do general tidying-up but it was too dark by then for photographs.  I’ll pass by in a couple of weeks to see Mike again on my way to Rugby and I’ll get some more snaps then.


Total cost £4,500 from foundations to finials and including everything you see
