The oddly shaped walls dissappeared immediately under the structure of this greenhouse and the higher rear wall adds loads of useful shelving space, shields off a non-view and will partly act as a heat-sink to radiate warm into the space in the cooler nights. I applied two coats of quality exterior masonry paint to the outside mixed in the same colour chosen for the greenhouse. On the inside it was decided to keep a contrasting shade using the base paint colour I had brought and I think it really works. I love it.

Your greenhouse looks great. I just wondered what mix did you use for the render, I have a block work base which I want to cover thanks

Thanks Vanessa. I use 3:1 sand:cement mix for the scratch coat (be sure to paint on a diluted mix of PVA in 1:2 water) and then 1:4 for the top coat. Try and get the top coat nice and smooth - but as it starts to harden, if you brush over it gently with a large paint brush it will smooth the surface out nicely for you. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Robin.
