Title: Fitting a greenhouse that won't fit!!!!
Post by: Jeannine on April 14, 2007, 21:40:14: Well I made a boo boo. I got a freebie greenhouse last week, a lean to, thought it would be just right for the side of the shed at the lottie, perfect for my cukes.

Now what, is is a foot and a half higher than the shed,any ideas anybody ?

and put it in that.

A polycarbonate sheet cut to size will easily stick to the greenhouse with some waterproof silicone sealant. Once you have the sheet of plastic it is a 10 minute job......

No. Just a sheet large enough to fit the gap at the top.
