    Because of the weather, I was working ( hiding ) in the clients greenhouse today. These were the views.

        It looks good, but my advice was not sought before it went up.:nono: Unfortunately, not only is it in shade, it also has a tinted roof.:(

        I love the tunnel in the first pic. Is that a living willow arrangement?

        This actually gives me some reassurance. See, I want to put a greenhouse in my back garden at some point. Trouble is, there's not really anywhere in my back garden that gets loads of sun. Most of it gets some direct sun, but not for any length of time. If your client's greenhouse does the trick despite being in the shade and with a tinted roof, I guess that suggests I might be ok when I build mine:dbgrtmb:

          Very nice g/house Dai, although you say it'e in shade, it does not seem to suffer with it and the drops are growing well.

          Steve...:)
