Default lean to green house plans - REVISED

Hi all

should have mentioned this while starting the thread:

my garden is south-facing, but i have a westfacing large side passage
that does nothing and thats where i would like to put my lean to

Will this work out aspect-wise?

Although my garden has perfect aspect, i would not put a greenhouse
in it as it is not really big enough and has been nicely landscaped
recently


WRT the plans, you'd be wise to make the greenhouse fit the sizes of the
materials, EG if you can get your hands on 6ft by 3ft sheets of
polycarbonate (or whatever you are thinking of using for sides and roof), it
would be daft to make the thing 7ft high.

What sizes are your sheets?
What sizes are your timbers?
Are you planning on raising it up so that the timbers are not directly on
the floor? (this is usally a good idea, just placing it on a row of bricks
is enough to keep off any resting water)
