Rome wasn't built in a day, but our greenhouse was! What a weekend!!! We also built the greenhouse totally for free as I dint use any of the glass I had bought, already had plenty to use!
So, we pulled down the old greenhouse and binned it, only took about 15 minutes to sort out, and got some of the old fencing posts I had out to use as the corners

Had some old sliding conservatory doors delivered to me, this would make up 2 of the walls

2 walls went up very quickly using the 2 conservatory doors, and 2 windows

Then the other 2 went up using the 2 final conservatory doors, the french doors I had as the entrance, and some glass to fill in the space down the side as the doors werent full width

I still need to paint/treat the wood which will finish the greenhouse off

As you can see the area around the greenhouse was also quite messy which we sorted out

The roof was added using double glazed panels which I had already received from a pvc company who had removed them from a conservatory they had changed

Saturday then came with a general tidy up around the area, with decking built around the side and back, and some bins built around the back out of pallets for spare wood and my rolls of tubing/pipe for cloches etc

Well chuffed
It was built using recycled material, with no cost as even the screws were given to us from a friends work
Would definately recommend it as had my mate hanging off the centre post across the roof and this thing is not gonna shift so it will be there for a good few years yet
