I love the pics of your GH, Buttercupdays! And it is the perfect place for an old chair. That is an idea I might copy into my new GH when I ever get to build it. I'd like to see more pics of more GH's! They are so awesome.
Jason Milly , yes it is exciting , we put our up in the winter and remember had lot of problem with the rubber beading , it is Aluminun framed until we warmed it up on radiators in house first , when finished have to put picture on site
Are you planting in soil or grow bags , I use grow bags and pots , a central path with gravel either side on membrane works for me but everybody different
I used to have two greenhouses - one a small 4x6 and a larger 8x6. Then in 2002 a 70ft tall Ash tree fell on both, smashing the larger one to pieces and badly damaging the other:
With careful use of a bench vice and much muscle I managed to straighten enough pieces and combine them with parts from the small one to make a 10x6 which is still in use today.
Try that with a wooden-framed one!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Bob , was there lots of fire wood ?
Bob , just thought should put picture on of new g/h
Why metal frame instead of wooden frame? Any other reason than personal preference?
Good idea GWRS! This is the rebuilt one, completed April 2003 before glazing:
and reglazed and in use, in June 2003:
Finally, yes, there was rather a lot of firewood!:
Watching me cut that lot up with a chainsaw was obviously very tiring for my cat 'Startle':
Gardenvicking, are you having a moving in party
You have done a good job of that Bob, looks like the ash tree was well rotten in the middle.
Hello GWRS I will be pots and growbags , good idea for rubber will take your pearls of wisdom , looking forward to the build .
