Putting the GreenHouse Together


The Frame

This was a LOT easier than we thought it would be!!

Putting the frame together took only about 15 minutes - and that was with a disabled me and a twelve year old.

The one thing I would suggest to anyone getting this particular greenhouse, however, is to keep the wing-nuts loose until you have put the cover on, then tighten as you go around securing the cover to the frame.

 
The Cover

Putting the cover on took a ladder and help from below pulling it across the top. Attaching it to the frame with the toggles was just as simple. This part only took about 20 minutes - and only that long because we were adjusting the frame and cover as we secured it.

All in all - the entire time to put it together, get it in place and put everything in it? About an hour! This makes us a bit proud because the instructions say it takes about two hours with two adults! Not bad, right?





 We really LOVE this greenhouse! So easy to put together, and just a brilliant design! My only complaint - I wish the store we got it from had the bigger ones available! I would LOVE to get one of the largest ones! THIS one is 6 feet wide by 8 feet long and 7 feet high at the center. PLENTY of room - but I would have loved to have more!! I'm sooo needy, right?? hehe


It really looks great, right?
E. my junior gardener! He can't wait to eat the food we will be growing!

Okay - so - tomorrow brings the loading and planting of the first three GrowBoxes! We are VERY excited and I'll post pictures once we have them fixed up! I can't wait to get the next ten GBs I have coming! We will be growing CORN(!!!) as well as a lot of other great veggies and herbs.

Until next time... Happy Growing!!
