:) Lorna, I think I would definitely go out the day they do it. ::) In saying that though, if all the glass is held in with the w clips & there are enough of them to do the change quite swiftly I would think you will be OK. I hate doing jobs that involve glass.!!! Good luck. :) Let us know the outcome. :)

:) I would start looking into what kind of staging or benching you want or need as you won't want them all sat on the ground. I have a magpie problem with skips in the village, always have to take a peek. I got 2 sets of dexion shelving from a skip when they were clearing out their garage. It sounds naff I know, but it was in perfect condition, he just said he didn't want it any more? Went to B&Q & got some mesh & a friend had some weldmesh, so now have excellent benches in 2nd greenhouse for a pittance. Staging & benches can be expensive so if YOH is diy'ish you could save money there. Believe me you will want to be stood up for pricking out & potting up/on. So keep that in mind. :) :)

Mmm true. Lack of skips around here though!! Will go and trawl around the local dump, get some real bargains there. They were selling cast iron gates for £1!!! Right about staging, don't really want to be grovelling around in mud!! Thanks Lottie ;D

:) Keep eyes & ears open for friends getting rid of shelving too, but the dump sounds good. They rescue stuff at ours & sell it to you at a small price, Then pocket the money. ??? :)

I googled and found a website with instructions on how to build your own polytunnel. My OH read through it and thought it looked quite easy (I rolled my eyes at that point ::)
It's on
www.powen.freeserve.co.uk/Projects/polytunnel/polytunnel.htm
I think there's info on there to build a coldframe too
