I have inherited a Crittalls 8'x6' greenhouse and managed to get it built successfully. But please does anyone have either a plan or a photograph of a finished glazed Crittalls greenhouse as I am confused about which glass panes fit where? I have clips etc and most of the glass, also some people say do the roof first, others say start at ground level and work up!

    Most old greenhouses are built up from standard 2x2ft panes. The exception might be for the door and the corresponding panel at the other end. I don't think it matters whether you start with the walls or roof as it is easily done in one day but there is less opportunity for accidents if you do the roof first. Working from the outside should ensure that the overlaps are correctly positioned with successive panes going over the top of previous ones as you go up.

    Make sure that the glazing seals are in good condition before you start - https://www.elloughton-greenhouses.co.uk/shop/15m-Crittall-Equivalent-Greenhouse-Glazing-Seal-p68236142
