Default September and BIG is the word
so here she comes rolling down the hill september on east coast of england.

the poor greenhouse has taken a good deal of damage now from wind and the uk weather. it is still tied down well but these plastic covers are lets say useless. the cloth ties used too hold covering too frame have been torn out leaving good 3 inch tears on sewn seems.

so a dilema i contacted the company that made them in MAY this year it is now september and no reply what so ever not even a email reply or a reply too my telephone enquiry. so now i am going BIG well in my eyes it will be big. a few have complained about my nice CLEAR 6x4 greenhouse and next year they will be slightly more upset.

Tamzi is building a 10ft x 6ft or maybe even a 12x 6 poly tunnel.
im going too use PVE tubing and some poles sunk into ground my tubing will be placed over sunk poles and screwed into place.
next i fit a sideboard around the frame and crossmembers from 2x2 battons, my covering will be recesed into battoning on side rails and pulled taught over the frames that will be covered in pipe lagging ( saving tears an wear), then i build a small 2.4ft doorway and screw onto base frame and tube hoops.

i spent a good 3 days trawling the net on something more better than a cheap throw away GH.
hopeful i can use this years greenhouse frame inside next years new polytunnel if council allow me too have this structure. so fingers crossed for me and a bigger better growhouse next year
