Post by: Hyacinth on March 14, 2010, 09:26:20: That's WONDERFUL! And it was all bought with grant money, you say? (sorry I must have missed the talk about it :-[) Anyway, wanna know...how many peeps did it take to erect, how long - and who was holding the instruction manual?

Have you laid in heating cables for the 2nd section, or how will that work, please?

What FUN you're all going to have with it.

Hyacinth, we didn't need to put it up, in the grant money(nearly 6,000) there was 600.00 for fitting...nice young bloke with a working back and knees came for 3 days and fitted it all together, we stayed in the poly trying to keep warm ;D
heating is with an existing heater, run off a gas bottle stored behind it in a purpose built box(when the box is made).
btw, when the 'guys' were putting the staging and seed tray shelves together, they wouldn't read the instructions and so took lots longer to put them together ;D

Now why does that not surprise me? ;D

Neat solution re: the heating. It really does look v.v.splendid - you must be itching to start filling those seed trays. Have a great season.
