How to Build a Glasshouse - Walls

Timber for the A-frame glasshouse is No 1 grade dressed all-round Oregon or redwood. The timber should be coated first with a termite preservative. Don't use creosote on any surface, where water could later drip on to plants. Roof beams etc are to be painted. All timber joints should be accurately fitted and securely nailed. Structure will require temporary bracing until plywood side coverings are fixed.

All glazing is 3mm (21oz) clear glass. Each opening should be accurately measured and sizes supplied to glass merchant. Panes are fixed into openings with 12mm ('Lin) beading nailed to framework on each side of glass.
