Greenhouse or Extension ? Advice please....
« on: March 26, 2009, 17:59:14 »


   Have been wanting /needing/ yearning for a green house for ages, decided

   that this year we would make a hole in the savings [ not a lot ] and get it sorted !

   The back faces south and we have bungalow with a partial overhang under the roof.

   This would make an extension of approx  13ft X 9ft,    with a door each end  -  the actual

  ' purchase ' size of the extension would be 13ft  X 3  &1/2 ft, sorry you metric peeps,

   now , how does that compare with having a 8X6 [ minimum ] green house please ?

   I would use the ext. for raising seeds, growing peppers etc and of course, would be a sunny

   haven in winter sun months,   another room,  etc,

   Would appreciate any advice you can give,

When you say Extension, is the kind that might need planning permission ?
When Santa's about, just hoe-hoe-hoe

We settled for another greenhouse 8x10 and a new cover for the poly... cheaper by far...  ;D
