### From Flatpack to Growing

Greenhouses promise so much - **early seedlings, homegrown tomatoes, year-round growing**. But greenhouse assembly is genuinely challenging - fiddly frames, dozens of identical-looking parts, and glazing that punishes any mistake.

> 🌱 **Frame precision matters.** If the frame isn't perfectly square, doors won't close, vents won't seal, and glazing won't fit. I take time to get it right.

### Why Greenhouses Are Tricky

| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Common Problems | |--------------|-------------------| | Frame perfectly square | Doors won't close | | Glazing seated properly | Panels rattle or fall | | Vents seal correctly | Leaks heat, lets in pests | | Clips fully engaged | Glazing works loose |

Good to Know

> 🏗️ **Get the base right first** - I can't stress this enough. An unlevel base means a twisted frame which means nothing fits properly. Prepare base at least a week before. **Positioning:** - South-facing gets most sun - Sheltered from prevailing wind - Away from overhanging trees - Near water and power if wanted **Aftercare:** - Tighten fixings after first temperature changes - Clean glazing annually - Check and oil door tracks - Auto vent openers need periodic replacement

Frequently Asked Questions about Greenhouse assembly in Ottery St Mary

Do I need a base for my greenhouse?

Yes - greenhouses need a level, solid base. Concrete, paving slabs, or a purpose-made base all work. The base needs to be ready and level before I arrive.

How long does greenhouse assembly take?

A typical 6x8ft aluminium greenhouse takes 4-5 hours for proper assembly. The glazing is what takes time - each panel needs careful handling.

Can you assemble in winter?

Yes, but glazing is trickier in cold weather and short daylight limits working time. Spring through autumn is ideal.

Glass or polycarbonate - does it matter?

Both work fine but handle differently. Glass is heavier and more fragile. Polycarbonate is lighter but needs the UV-treated side facing out.
