Greenhouse Base - how level?
In article , Granity
writes LOL I'm about to take delivery of an 8x10 Halls Magnum, nothing solid to put it on so it'll be dig a shallow trench put down some drymix concrete and bed the base on it. Trouble is I've got emphysema and can only dig about 4 or 5 spadefulls at a time before having to get my breath back, it's going to take several days to get the base down methinks. :-( We've just got a 8 x 14 Rhino greenhouse. Wonderful!! It came with 8 vents with automatic openers and two side louvres. Paid extra for blinds on one side of the roof (greenhouse now turned to north south axis). It's feels much, much bigger than the old one because of course the sides are straight rather than the leaning ones of the cedar Alton. I took the old Alton down, though it took a bit of huffing and puffing and pure grit at one point to get the glass out as the thing was so swaybacked it's a wonder it didn't fall down before I dismantled it!" I won't put anything in it even low staging yet until i have dug out wither side and put down weed suppressant matting and then shingle. Bit tricky once the staging is in!. Ended up trailing the pole with the electric wire inside, under the greenhouse frame in a channel and so I'll have to have a think about the way i am going to fix it to aboard inside. It also came with guttering and hose pipe connections at each corner so i can fix a huge tank to the short end . It'll never look so good as it does now of course - all shiny and new -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
