A greenhouse swap - madness in action

This is my new greenhouse. Its a freecycle freebie and despite being a bit "green" due to being situated under some trees is in fabulous condition.


Its a 16 x 9 foot beast, the glass is held in by strips that are screwed into place which will make it much more resiliant to wind than greenhouses where the glass is held in by W clips.


Here is my good friend Mark, if you want anybody to help you break glass, he's the man. No seriously, without his help I would have really struggled to dismantle this greenhouse. Thanks buddy.
This is where the new greenhouse is going to go. The existing two 8 x 6 greenhouses will go to new homes, leaving just enough space here for it to sit. Hopefully these will be moved tommorow and the big greenhouse frame put into position and bolted together, ready for re-glazing.

Perhaps this is a rush of blood to the head but the bigger house does give us more growing options.

What an excellent freebie! I've just recently discovered freecycle too. Great stuff!
