I set mine on slabs and don't regret it but made the mistake of only
leaving myself half a slab's width around the outside of the
greenhouse. This is too narrow for access, especially when competing
with butternut squash. I am constantly nearly overbalancing into the
glass.


Chap over the back has done even worse than that he has one side of the
greenhouse two inches from a wire fence leaving him absolutely no access
what so ever. When I sited the greenhouse I deliberately set it a couple
of feet from the fence to give easy access to one of the long sides of
the greenhouse.


I've got that too. A neighbour built his green house 9" from our
fence and has no access to one long side.

I do keep his glass clean with a pressure washer during early spring
but the 9" is full of weeds and ferns. I can always spray the
b**gers I suppose.

Also one narrow end of his greenhouse is being taken over by a rampant
clematis rooted in his next door neighbours' garden
