Re: Inside our greenhouse today
Initially Sue "er indoors" wanted a cheap plastic covered type of greenhouse but I said no that could rip and then say godbye to the plants inside.
Had a bit of a problem finding a "proper" glass greenhouse to fit the space but even Sue now agrees that was the better option. No way was the grape vine being cut down which Sue wanted to do.
This one was self assembly and not over expensive , forgotten how much, butg 4/5 year on still as good as when erected. Don't think you would get that wear from a polytunnel
the photos below took 3/4 months from start of order to finished project
.
found the paperwork on it
bought from The Greenhouse people in stoke on trent way back in Feb 2015
cost was £510 including delivery and toughened glass.
Loads of instructions/diagrams came with it
5ft wide and 4ft from front to back. Inside p;lastic racking fitted perfectly
I could have just stood it on earth on its own metal plinth . However that meant you are working inside standing on mud. So I used the heavy paving slabs to stand it on . levelling them all up took a bit of time but worth it.
I had to cut in half a couple of slabs to get right size as seen across the centre but I have a powerful stone disc cutter so no problem
The hardest bit was preparing the site to get rid of this and all the rubble underneath.

To me a polutunnel looks what it is ,cheap and horrible , imagine having to look at that day in day out .
found photo of sub base for slabs
bags of rubble remove Approx 50 like these
