Superb job!  And no fear of broken glass.  How much did the whole thing run to cost wise?

Hi Mark, the lathes were about £30 and the monoflex was £69, so I got a 3mtr x 4mtr greenhouse for about £99.

£99 - bargain!   :)  I much prefer home made stuff.  Much easier to repair too if needed than shop bought; and far more satisfying.  I used clear corrugated on mine, which probably came to about £60, but then it's only a 3m x 2m.

If you explain what a quiet not out going, staying in type I am, you might just get away with it and James1 will probably want a bit of the action too, if only he could sneak down the drainpipe without waking the OH.      ;D ;D ;D
