It was delivered really quickly, within a couple of days, but Mick ended up having to cut the sheets down as they measured a cm more than stated. It wasn't a big job though and we thought they were a good price.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-50576943976378342062014-03-09T20:19:15.075+00:002014-03-09T20:19:15.075+00:00Our polycarbonate still hasn't arrived.Our polycarbonate still hasn't arrived.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-7047759050338169622014-03-09T16:13:55.413+00:002014-03-09T16:13:55.413+00:00No, mine isn't an Alton, it's a cheapie fr...No, mine isn't an Alton, it's a cheapie from B&Q if my memory serves me right.

That’s a bit academic though, as my garden can’t even accommodate a shed – unless I give up one of my flowerbeds, but I can’t really see me doing that. Your greenhouse is more than half of my garden, the seating area included – would have been lovely to have if my garden was twice the size. I look forward to seeing it freshly treated and spruced up, including with a door that won’t trap you inside!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-1644456093579434182014-03-07T21:16:16.753+00:002014-03-07T21:16:16.753+00:00Don't forget I'll be doing that important ...Don't forget I'll be doing that important staining.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-5965329052247857172014-03-07T20:18:14.926+00:002014-03-07T20:18:14.926+00:00What a lovely big spacious greenhouse you have, we...What a lovely big spacious greenhouse you have, well worth the tlc...and a new one would cost an arm and a leg as well.
