Post by: mark45 on July 11, 2008, 16:40:41
my wife has bought me a new greenhouse, 8ft by 6ft, to my amazment it came in a flat pack kind of stile. class all in boxes and all the frame work in a box with the screws nuts and bolts.this was over a week ago i got the fram work together in sections and thats as far as i got,its a night mare. i thought these tings came in sections made up so you just have to screw them together regret getting it now lol.

I sympathise, same thing happened to me, was a nightmare.  I built it inside out the first time, managed to "sort of" build it the second time, wind destroyed it - bought another frame, wind destroyed that one, gave up.   I am desperately rubbish at that kind of thing though.  Now thinking of a polytunnel but nervous about building that.  I'm sure you will have better luck than me - best of luck and enjoy it when its up.

I, rather stupidly, volunteered to erect a polly tunnel for someone at my lotty site. Never agin! It's only 9x6 and I've never done anything so piddling fiddly in my life.

I used to want a nice long polly tunnel, I don't now.
