Topic: second hand greenhouse question

[legless]

i'm hoping to win a second hand glasshouse on ebay, its on slabs at the moment. never having owned a glasshouse smaller than commercial grower sized i don't know how they are supposed to be anchored if at all? its a 6x8, does it need foundations or is it meant to just sit on slabs?

i hope i get it, i'm so excited! (i really need to get out more)

It is very windy where my garden is  Legless, so we have built a small wall about 2 bricks high and then bolted the base onto this.  Think other half used 'coach bolts' if this is any help.  I suppose that it depends what it is like where your greenhouse is going to be sited.

quite windy, that seems like a sensible idea mimi, thanks.

No problems Legless.  Best of luck with the bidding  ;)

outbid and i must be strong and not bid again as then it would be expensive. oh well.

:) Better luck next time  :( I never place a bid until auction nearly ending but it doesn't always work  :( You can buy a base for mounting your greenhouse on. It's really easy you just need one bag of ready mix for the corners & away you go   ;D Oh level the ground first  ;D ;D Any where that sells g/houses usually keeps them or internet  ;D

you can never find a greenhouse when you want one can you!! I looked for one for ages then low and behold i luckily got given one, then i saw loads advertised too!!!, Tell us what area you are from and how far you are willing to travel for one and we can look out in the local shops etc for you.

i think i've found one in the free ads - just need to speak to Rick about it as he is my chauffeur!

Hope you get your greenhouse, good luck.
