The Greenhouse Planting

How to plant a greenhouse.

  1. Firstly, begin with a pile of dirt and a second hand greenhouse.
  2. Next look around your garden for 4×4 x16′-long posts and cut to fit under the greenhouse perimeter.
  3. Now the tricky bit: How to move the greenhouse from the grass onto the foundation without anyone to assist?
    1. I shimmied the greenhouse onto 2 pieces of wood. This made sliding it forward much easier than trying to slide it across the grass. I slid it until it was aligned beside the prepared foundation.
    2. Next I placed another piece of wood on top of the foundation and perpendicular to the 2 pieces of wood currently under the greenhouse.
    3. Next I was able to lift the greenhouse (it’s was very light) onto the perpendicular piece of wood and then slide it sideways onto the the foundation continuing to push and slide until the greenhouse was sitting squarely on the foundation.
  4. Next remove the centre piece of wood and screwed/bolt the base of the greenhouse into the wood foundation.
  5. Presto! It looks like it has always been there!
