Yolky Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i am considering buying a green house. I would want one which has pvc (is it pvc?) but plastic instead of glass for safety (2 football playing boys) can you recommend one please and also can you tell me how I would have to get the ground ready underneath it. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think you can go one of two ways with the ground underneath. It needs something to stand on so it dosent move or sink. We built a foundation with slabs and concrete. Our green house is bolted to it. I use pots and grow bags and can swill out the base when its cleaning time. OR You could build a brick foundation a little bigger than the size of your intended green house to bolt it to and leave the ground open inside to grow straght into with a path down the middle to stand on. You would then have to improve your soil each season or it would become exhausted. Hope you enjoy your green house when you get it as much as I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I can thoroughly recommend Rhino reenhouses: http://www.greenhousesdirect.co.uk/Greenhouses/Greenhouse%20pages/Rhino%20Greenhouses/rhinomainpage08.html If you haven't had a greenhouse before, then my ONE tip would be: get a size bigger than you think you need. We had an old 8x5 greenhouse, which we replaced with a 14x8 Rhino, and we had a section put in so we could effectively have two greenhouse areas. When we were loooking, we started looking for an 8x10ish, but took the advice to o for something bigger. We were consideing something even bigger, as we had the space to accomodate it, but didn't think we'd need it. I wish we'd gone for an even bigger one.
