Topic: started building my own green house shelves

[nilly71]

I needed shelves for the greenhouse(if you can call it that)

 but thought the prices in the shops were to much, so last night i placed an ad on freecycle to ask if anyone had any. This morning i had an email saying she did not have the shelving but did have some left over ali from the main greenhouse.

I collected it today...


Just need to cut it and bolt or rivit together now :) should be fun.

The bits on the floor look like the frame of a complete greenhouse.

I don't think it's a complete one or if it was it was a very small one ;D

It was a real pain trying to rivit it together because all the ridges and i forgot my drill so had to use a hammer and nail to make the holes, in the end i used cable ties but at least once it's made i can bolt or rivit it.

Thanks everyone :D

I was a bit shocked when i finaly got over there today, it was laying on the floor/bushes. I did not secure to the base before i left the other day :o
It's secure now ;D
The top is hinged so i can open it and let fresh air in, when the hot weather gets here :-\ and will add netting so when it's open nothing can get in.
The base is wide enough for three 6pint milk cartons and 3.5m long, so should have plenty of room to get stuff started. The seed trays i bought today are slightly to long so will have to be turned side ways.

Today i managed to make another door, hang both and finaly worked out how to secure it all together.

I think i have tightened the plastic on the doors a little to much as they bow slightly, so i will loosen them off and add a cross bar in the middle of the door.



I'm going to add plastic to the centre frame so that it partitions both side off.
