          Thanks. Will be on a wooden “wall” base but might build it up a couple of layers following your suggestion. Many thanks.

            Your planned internal layout is what we had in our greenhouse.
            Worked well!
            What we did do however was dig out/mix in the soil boarders every couple of years using fresh potting compost and soil.
            The idea was to try and reduce the possibility of increased pests and diseases in the soil.

              You're very welcome - the other thing I've done is to bury a piece of garden hose pipe going from inside to outside before putting the rest of the structure in. Doesn't cost much and its there then if you decide to have an outside water butt and want to link it to a interior trough of some kind, or just use it as a gravity fill pipe for putting up/down to fill cans.

                Now in place and screwed onto it’s wooden base. The family decided one layer of wood was optimum as little legs would struggle to get over the door sill to get in and out!

                It’s rock solid now it’s squared up, levelled up and screwed into the base. Very impressed with it. Started to build up the inside with homemade compost. Need to drag some slabs down for the centre walkway and then start glazing and and we’ll be good to go!

                  Looks like a bang up job - maybe a new career beckons as a garden structures engineer ?

                  Happy gardening :-)

                    Can anyone help with identifying the manufacturer from this pic of the guttering?

                    I’d like to get a down pipe on each side of the greenhouse and am hoping there’s an “off the shelf solution” so I don’t have to get my brain in gear to create something from scratch!

                    Oh and a pic of it now... glass cleaned, borders made and filled, path in, new draught excluder fitted, etc, etc.

                      Is there room to put a standard piece of half-round gutter inside the aluminum one in the photo ? if so you could do that, and just use standard plastic gutter joints and pipes etc ....

                        Ah... just rest it in the aluminium gutter?

                        Nice idea. I’ll have a look tomorrow. Might have to be some of the mini guttering but that might just work. Thanks again!

                          Yep, just push it inside the current gutter from the end would be my thought - happy gardening :-)
