Happy greenhousing G2.

The automatic roof vent opening thingies Embarassed

I ordered from Harrod 3 1/2 weeks ago eventually turned up today (they said a week to 10 days) and Mr L's fitted them for me tonight. At least my baby plants won't cook now Shocked

Hope it stays dry for you!! Cool

Good luck G2 Very Happy

Loobs/Wards - those automatice vent openers are brilliant, I got 2 thrown in as part of the deal when I bought my GH last year, got them to open the louvres in the side too Cool

it would be handy for me as, being vertically challenged, can't reach the windows and have to go and get a chair, which is a bit pants when the floor of the greenhouse is covered in plants. Cuh Laughing

I think 6' is too narrow cos no room to work, with staging etc at either side taking up all the room. Everytime you bend down you swish off sommat with yer butt Rolling Eyes

So it's either go on a diet or get a bigger greenhouse. Oooh decisions, decisions Very Happy
