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 Shocked , the instructions were Censored Censored Censored , it took me and Julia 7 hours to build it , and can't Finish it yet as theres a few roof vents bits missing Evil or Very Mad ,










A word of advice if your no builder or diy expert GET them to erect it for you Whistle
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 Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

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!

Wish I'd gone for glass , this one is twin wall polly carb , and trying to slot it in the grooves as you put it together was the biggest prob , but Haho it's. Almost done Whistle be glad to get back to work in the morning Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up
