My new Greenhouse is supposed to be delivered this coming week but I will not be able to assemble it maybe until next week. I have tomato plants in the spot where the GH is to be placed. I might go ahead and try to transplant the tomatoes to another spot, but with all the heat and lack of rain, not sure if the plants will survive a move????

I will make my "foundation" out of treated 2 x 8 lumber and use two (2) layers and stagger joints on all of the ends/corners. This will give me a good overlap for added strength and will secure the lumber to each other with monel deck screws. Then I will secure the GH to the foundation with the monel screws.

When I build the awning cover over the GH the aluminum framework will be tied into the GH with special built aluminum brackets and to the foundation lumber also. With this added bracing I would think that the polycarbonet panels would be blown out before the framework will fail. nodding

I still have not decided how to finish the floor area, still open for help and suggestions.

Thanks
