500 bits and 7 hours !!!!
Well after going for a budget 12x8 green house for £580 !! , I've realised you need to be a meccano wizard to build it , the instructions were , it took me and Julia 7 hours to build it , and can't Finish it yet as theres a few roof vents bits missing ,
A word of advice if your no builder or diy expert GET them to erect it for you
There is no way you could put this together without some general knowledge and know how !!!
I will not be recommending this to a friend -------------------------------------------------
if you cant hold on dont let go , it ill come in handy for something even if you never use it.

FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill

D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.

We were given this greenhouse by a friend. It came in kit form, no instructions, and most of it was buried flatpacked, in 3 foot tall grass!
Everything was found, and assembled by guesswork!
