    The weather is shocking here at the moment, constant rain, so will update with some more pictures once I'm up and running.

    I am suffering serious greenhouse envy. Puts my little 6 x4 to shame and I wish now I went a lot bigger.

    Very neat, lovelly, we have 3 now, inherited 2 when we moved here, a lean to, (where I usually have peppers, this year courgettes) "top" one, with potting bench on a day like today!!! The newest one we added on the veg plot, green like yours.They all have paving completely underneath

    Thanks all...pleased you like it, and I must admit I do too, I'm really pleased with it image

    Just a couple of minor leaks to plug and some more door draft excluder to fit as there wasn't enough in the box, but after a quick call to TGP yesterday they sent some out and it arrived this aft.

    As for the floor staying dry, I wish that was the case, DR...it has been raining solid for 2 days now and water is slowly creeping in under the frame.

    So, I think I'm going to have to seal all around the edges of the frame on the inside, but what to use that will stick to painted aluminium and concrete slabs?

    Any ideas on which sealant would be appreciated image

    I wouldn't worry to much about the water coming from underneath unless you leave something in there which will rot. I left a wooden box of dahlia tubers on the floor once image I saved them but they weren't happy, Silicone should do the job though
