My free greenhouse is still making me happy today, even though I've not been able to go outside and progress anything. I will start another thread about it, so I can post pics of the progress without hijacking this thread
First step is to figure out for sure how big the greenhouse is, then I will calculate how many bricks I will need. No doubt I'll be in any of the builders merchants tomorrow to pick them up lol
Yes, I've had a greenhouse on a slightly wonky base before, and that was a bit annoying as it caused tension in the glass. I didn't have much choice then, but I do now, as I'm starting from scratch. Thank you both
If I get fed up with the pests etc, I always have the option to add pots on top.

Screwed the frame to the bricks.I would just like it to be taller by about a foot I think, to gain the extra height all around. I've had requests for using grey blocks to build it, so it shouldn't take too long.
Depends on high you want it?

I used to grow in dug borders but found the build up of pests and replenishment of the soil tedious.
