We are about to buy a greenhouse, 8x6, aluminium, horti-glass etc. We
have seen the Halls Popular range in a local garden centre, but are
confused about the plinth. Does the plinth have to go on a concrete
base or can it be positioned straight onto the ground?
Can anyone recommend any other make and/or comment on whether a plinth
is necessary.
The plinth was designed to bolt/fix to metal corner stakes which are
concreted about 18"-24" deep. Then the greenhouse was fixed to the plinth
to give stability. This was only used if your greenhouse was erected on
soil. (wind can turn the greenhouse into a kite)
For some varieties of wind, I suppose.
A glass-house is very heavy once the glass is installed
I have seen more than one on its side complete with concrete base still
attached!
Blimey!
