Post by: Sparkyrog on August 09, 2013, 22:07: The background are autumn raspberries ! It is going to be a heated house with all internals painted white . I have thermo fibre to line the wood panels with external ply to cover . It was cheaper option than a potting shed :)

Post by: Sparkyrog on August 13, 2013, 21:33: In actual fact it's 9 mill ! I have been very disappointed in the manufacturing quality of the GH but hey ho you pays your money and takes your choice,some panels are 5 mill out ,however it was cheaper than a potting shed which is what I actually wanted :)

5 mil gaps between frames?? :(
Title: Re: sparkyrog's project
Post by: Sparkyrog on August 13, 2013, 21:54: No not 5 mill gaps between frames but there jigs are obviously dodo ! or the the guys using them don't know how too ! on fitting the thermoline I found a 10 mill difference in width :(
Title: Re: sparkyrog's project
Post by: BobE on August 13, 2013, 22:01: It does look nice though and you can fettle it a bit.
Title: Re: sparkyrog's project
Post by: Sparkyrog on August 13, 2013, 22:11: Yes sorry I meant depth not width ! that has been to size . would be nice to have use of a proper workshop again though :) Trouble is when your used to pro tools and you don't have them it's awkward ! I know I am not doing a pro Job of this and it niggles . Where as putting the water and electric in will be NP (it will be signed off Mod's) :)

Post by: coop-de-tat on August 14, 2013, 13:04: Smart!

What's the footprint of that? It looks huge.

I'm thinking of heating my little GH a bit so I can try and over-winter some chillies.

Post by: BobE on August 17, 2013, 22:12: That is very very neat Sparky. I think they've done something to the pics bit. Even if you click a smiley you only get text, then the smiley when you post. However your pic has come through ok and it does look very nice. Keep updating please.
