    Welcome to the forum @Theo1 .

    I have the same size but mine is a different make so I don't know if you have the same channels to support shelves, as I have.

    Lots here have that make and you'll get some good advice soon :)

      I made this one last year where it is attached to the greenhouse frame with hinges and then folds down when I start planting into the soil. I no am putting another one in the other side this year as I am fed up of moving it in and out and then it sitting in the garden as I have no where to store it.

        Find these brackets very good for putting up your own shelves, we use upvc window cill profiles , if you can get them cheaply or 6" wooden treated gravel boards spray painted in silver or white.

        Should also act as supports for benches etc

          Been busy, building a bit shelving out of wood, nothing fancy just something that will work for now. Also had our first strong winds, two panes blew out, one smashed. So I've now doubled up on the glazing clips, hopefully prevent any more panes blowing out

          @Theo1 As well as increasing the number of clips. I would check that the frame is square and doesn't flex at all.

          Hi Nigel thanks for the advice, I have checked and it is as square as I can get it, its not 100% but its not bad, i think the wind may have got in by the overlap on the glass and ripped it out, fingers crossed I have it sorted, I have read some where that using glazing tape across the over lap may help prevent this?
