greenhouse finished

[JonnyD]

Started last Monday on converting a hexagonal shaped horse shelter into a greenhouse / potting shed.

The original construction wasnt very inspiring but was solid and pretty square and level.

Brick walls were built for the frames to sit on. The frames were machined and dry fitted in the workshop but were a little large to transport easily in one piece so they were assembled on site.

View from the inside looking out over the huge garden which is going to be landscaped

Got the frames in and they have been preserved primed and undercoated ready to fit the glass on monday.

cheers

There is some painting but im not doing it

Yep the timber is joinery grade redwood most of the sections are greensplit where the heart and centre shakes are split out and you get nice defect free timber most of the time.

Nice work, good to see a landowner using the trade instead of buying in from a DIY store already constructed.

Its been very nice and warm working inside a greenhouse this week and is now finished ready for glossing by the painter.

and this is how it sits in the new garden area which is about the size of a cricket pitch

thanks for looking

cheers
