Greenhouse base

In between the showers yesterday afternoon and today I managed to get all the holes bored. The plastic pipes are  800mm (31.5") long.


Next job is to make sure the frame is square and decide the level and adjust the pipes according. By adding sand inside the pipe I should be able to raise the pipe ( the sand will flow out and under ) as required. If the pipes need to go lower I should be able to bash them down.


Once squareness and levelness is achieved the holes will be filed with soil and the inside of the pipes filled with concrete.
The plan is to fill the gaps between the frame and the ground with the railway sleepers to the front and left hand side and the breeze blocks to the right and rear. Weed suppressing membrane will then the tucked under the base, over the sleepers & blocks and a suitable mulch placed on top around the outside.
