I treated myself to this, there was a 15% promotion on and I bought it via a cashback website so worked out cheaper. This is a great size for my small garden. Did take me about two days to build though!
Both gables put together today plus the sides. The instructions are pretty good, tomorrow its bolting it together and hopefully lay the bricks for the base
Well its finished in between delays and domestic strife. However, no sooner had I installed the final pane than that toughened glass was put to the test. Our little Border terrier had followed me into the GH but he is quite flighty and took off, running into the pane next to the door rather than through the doorway.
He is ok but he knocked the pane clean out, sending the W clips flying. However the pane didn't break, just clattered against the front of the GH. Thank goodness you guys recommended toughened glass, I dare not imagine had it been horticultural. Anyway, I'm thinking of maybe putting tape along the bottom so he knows. I took him back down and tried to get him to be aware glass is there.
I would recommend toughened over horticultural to a prospective GH buyer in a heartbeat providing they can afford the extra cost.
Oh good no injures fishy, toughened glass is indeed a lot stronger/safe, you could use a little bit of silicone to help keep the clips in place. I am glad you got the GH up and running
