I want it :)

Bet you cant have it.

Looks good, lots of light BUT did you put any Damp Course between the base and the bottom wooden runners

[grotbag]

yep

[davyw1]

OH GOOD, A bad mistake by some people who dont, realise the damp travels up into the wood and rots it.
Job well done.

Looks so modern, I'd be tempted to move a bed  in there and tell the aubergines to find their own house!

[grotbag]

[tonybloke]

Yes, Grotbag, your creation really deserves a proper name over the door.

brilliant - if you are going to paint the rest of it white then I'd name it The White House instead of a greenhouse  ;D

Excellant example of recycling, well done you. Just one question, how have you done the roof, I guess it is not flat and you will collect water from it? I think the roof may be difficult to clean????
Anyway I think Wisly should take note and have one of there  plots set aside for examples like this to encourage recycling. Please note Wisley....

roof is polycarb(from a conservatory roof we replaced,yes it has a gutter fitted,still looking for a water butt tho.
