hi phil (and all)

the sheets are 2100mm x 3000mm (7' x 10') 10mm twinwall polycarbonate
I am very open to suggestion on all aspects of the building
(no experience of g-houses whatsoever)

I have the tools & industrial saws in work to cut the sheets and frame
elements to suit
at any angles sizes etc etc.
(I work in a signmakers and have access to these things at trade price)

I was thinking of using aluminium for the framework
i can use angle or actual purpose built section that the panels slot into
(the type of thing exhibition panels, and the like, are joined with)

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)
