Catastrophe to Carpentry

Ziggy modeling the new shelving May 19

Disaster Day.

So I may have underestimated the weight of my gravel trays and seedlings. It would seem over the course of a few weeks they had buckled my shelving frames that came with the greenhouse !

I do not fault the greenhouse itself – I just didn’t consider the lack of strength that the shelving would have.

Luckily when it collapsed nothing was too damaged and the greenhouse casing had no tears ! Which is incredible .

DIY Day..

I had to act fast as I need to get everything back into the greenhouse as soon as possible.

So this time, despite the scrap wood I’ve got lying around, I actually purchased the wood I needed for the job ( plus I don’t want to have to fix this again any time soon)

I am no carpenter but I can put my mind to something I want done. It’s not perfect but WOW is it stronger !

Not to mention I sneakily gained two extra shelves at the back and the wooden structure is helping support the whole greenhouse.

I am a very happy gardener.
