Joan's greenhouse base with herringbone path

6/6/2017

Amazing weather this week.  It was so hot that I used an old cowboy trick I remembered from the movies - soaking my hat in a bucket of water before putting it on my head.  Great for about 40 minutes.

I'm so proud to be building a greenhouse here.  This garden stops you in your tracks - the plants are so varied, colourful, strong and so well designed.  I'll try to sneak a few great photos of the garden when I return in a few weeks (you should see the front one too).

Joan want her greenhouse to be 4.5m long, by 2.5m wide and to have a cold frame 2m long along one side.  There has been a lot of thought about maximising the space without it taking over.   This greenhouse will be around 3m high though so they'll be plenty of vertical growing space inside with a full length work station and 2-tier shelving along one side.

This greenhouse is being constructed using my standard, premium-grade tanalised timber rather than accoya (half of the greenhouses I build are now from accoya).  However, there is no reason why this timber shouldn't last just as long - there is nowhere for water to sit and penetrate the timber and the paint coating should last for 10 years now without further application (*the greenhouses now have a minimum of 3 coats of Profilan Impra paint rather than the recommended 2.  We have just learned independent testing showed that 3 coats of this paint give a life expectancy of 10 years between coats).
