Default New Orchid House!

This has taken ages to build, well several weekends anyway. It feels like a long time. I need to build the door and then it's pretty much done. Trying to separate parts with different levels of shade is proving more difficult than I thought. A good reason to specialise in a particular genera!!!

It is 6 metres by 3 metres. The shade cloth is 70% sandstone and the roof is polycarbonate. If you have any questions then let me know.

Holes in the ground.......



Then we built the individual frames.....



Exciting I know, a pile of frames.......



The frames up:



With the roof on:



A different angle:



Putting up the shade cloth!



The shade ceiling finally up!



The shelves are built - hot dipped welded mesh.



Another angle of the shelves:



Shade cloth on the sides:



Plants in the house! Woohoo!!!!



We still need a door though.
