Default Greenhouse question

I go along with the advice to fix your greenhouse to a brick base. I
have a 10 x 8 ft greenhouse with fairly good ridge height, which is
fixed to a 2-course brick wall and with its base. Even so, I find
myself wishing it was even higher (and bigger all round, to be
honest!) Not only does extra head height give you more room for tall
plants, shelving, etc., it also improves air flow (ventilation is
important for greenhouse plants in summer and winter).


Thank you for everyone who repsonded. The mini green house that i have
is 158cm in height and yes they are against the fence - I am planning
to put my greenhouse in the exact same spot for the 2 mini green houses
and put the mini greenhouse inside. I've contacted the company who sold
us the greenhouse and they suggested us to cut the anchor into four
pieces and use three of them as bracket and drew onto the ground. I
have also bought a hacksaw today. Hopfully my husband can help me to
cut them into pieces - so at least I can attached my greenhouse into
the steel base... depend on how robost it is after it is completed and
decide whether i will stick the base onto the concrete - even though my
husband would hate this idea!!! but at least it is one step further!!
Thank you so much for everyone's help!



No problem - good luck with the project - it sounds as though you will need
it, with no resident hacksaw
already on the premises !
Feel free to come back to us if you hit any unexpected snags.
