My wife bought an 8 foot by 12 foot greenhouse kit from Harbor Freight,
details at:


http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93358


Our neighbor bulldozed a level foundation last weekend and I took off work
today to spend the day getting the frame leveled and secured. This Saturday,
if it doesn't rain, I'll continue the project, adding the base plates and
constructing the walls. With any luck, I'll get the roof on, too.


If anyone out there has had experience with this sort of thing, I'd
appreciate any tips or potential problems in the construction process. I'm
fairly skilled in home repairs and mechanical work, and this job looks like
just bolting together a lot of aluminum rails, then clipping in the window
panes. However, from my experience with similar projects in the past,
there's usually one or two unexpected complications that make the job
difficult, and I'd like to be forewarned.


Thanks,


Paul


No advice to offer, just wanted to congratulate you on one helluva deal.
:-)

I love harbor freight!

I have 3 of those "popup" greenhouses, like a big tent, that go up in
about 30 minutes.

I like yours better. g

Just looked at that greenhouse, and US$700.00 must be a good deal for
such a sizeable one. I could do with one just like that in SA (US$
multiplied by at least 7 to equal our currency!).
