    Then drilled in some "Threaded bar" to tweek n square it all up. That was the basic framing, then I sheeted it in corrugated plastic!

    Cost! Bar n pipping rummaged from skips, plastic sheeting £125, but I wanted a quality job, so was prepared to shed a few notes!

    But well pleased with the outcome!

    And hopefully last a good few years! 

    I like the corrugated sheets, but your going to have fun collecting rain water off it if you wanted too

      First off great job. Like i mentioned further up your finished job is how mine will turn out, fingers crossed. I have virtually the same GH as yourself.
      Couple of questions if you don`t mind. Did you consider removing the door structure from the GH ?, and what did you use to bridge the gap between the GH and the PT ?

      Cheers mate.

      Cheers! I'll do me best to get a few pictures together it being my weekend off!

      Oh! Bill! Was never in the plan to gather water water from the "Poly"

      Get enough from the shed n summer house! but like ya thinking!

        Sharpy! Here we go!

        Run two parralell perpext sheets to the "Apex" of the greenhouse, fastened to the last hoop!



        Then bridged the gap with inserting the first pipe lagging over the greenhouse structre/frame, then gluing the second too it, not a very clear picture I'm afraid!



        Sides! cut to shape a couple of perspext sheets, undone the original screws holding the corrogated sheets, fastened it too it! Snotted up the corragated gaps with a little "Squirty Foam" Which you won't have to do using polythene!



        Then again, filled the gap with a couple of strips of pipe lagging Gaffer taped in place!



        Jobs a "Good En"

            Sharpy! as the water pipe was recycled from a skip, I had no preferance on length, but the bits awarded were 7ft long, so I joined two together using a cut down section of "Scaffolding" pole, which actually gave me a better "Arch" if you catch my drift?

            .........

            And now embarassed! Didn't realise the top of it was that "Mucky"
