greenhouse floor
I've just about finished erecting my new 4.5 x 3.0 m greenhouse, and am
wondering about the best floor. The land beneath is very rocky. I had thought of just using gravel. And then I wondered whether it would not get messed up with spilled potting compost etc. Any good ideas? -- David Valanec 29460 HANVEC France +33 (0)298 21 90 29 |

Staging legs dig in. Damping down only works for a very short time since the water just disappears. Duck boards work well for a small greenhouse : they bed into the gravel and form a firm surface. For a large greenhouse the cost of the wood is as much or more than standard concrete paving slabs. I'm on my 3rd year of gravel floor. Last year's autumn project was a paved area outside the greenhouse. This years project will be a proper floor IN the greenhouse. Mike |
