Potting shed v greenhouse?
Comments
-
My allotment plot had a very old (originally from 1977) shed on it.
It was sagging and needed some love.
In the end i braced the shed up with some extra roof struts then knocked the back wall out (of the shed) and fastened my greenhouse frame to it (as they happened to be the same width).
So now to get into the greenhouse you go in via the shed door and then out the "back" of the shed and in via the greenhouse door opening.
You can't fit the greenhouse door runner so there is no "door" fitted but as it goes directly into the shed i don't really care.
Secures the greenhouse and has the best of both worlds.
damn site cheaper than the £1K+ versions i've seen on the internet (and bigger too).0 -
Every person who has replied has given me food for thought so thanks for all your contributions.
I think that I'm going to have to go for a lean to greenhouse and a separate shed. This way I can keep the greenhouse in the sun as much as possible which wouldn't be possible with a potting shed due to the orientation of the garden and the limitations I have with space.0
