home made greenhouse mk1

[hollychap]

a piccy of my greenhouse i built a few years ago at home , the upvc frames i got off ebay for 99p unglazed the bottom brickwork are block pavers laid as bricks which i was given the plastic sheeting is whats used in bus shelters (the company that makes them is close by) and they let me root through there skip and take what i want . i got an allottment at the back end of april and there is already a brick base on it 20ftx12ft which is a biggy, i have just finished collecting enough frames and plastic sheeting so will be starting to build it in the next few weeks weather permitting i will be taking plenty of photos at differant stages and will start a new topic on the job as it progresses hopefully it will help some of you to build yourself a new cheap greenhouse

Great job, looking forward to seeing the allotment one. We built our own too, still have issues with a leaky roof but should have that sorted out when we empty it of tomatoes etc this year.

Great greenhouse, my mates done something like that for his hot tub, I look forward to the new one on your lottie!

It does look good and with all those opening windows you'll have plenty of ventilation.

i made it with openers on all sides , i looked at a fellow allotment owners down at the allotments and all his tomatoes were rotting , he had not allowed for a single opener or vent
