We took advantage of the sun this week, to properly put the greenhouse together, we were kindly donated the greenhouse from Chris Baptiste family in the summer. On one open day we had put it together, but yet had time to finish it off.
Using sleepers to make stable base for the frame to sit on, fixed in compact soil.
