Re: greenery veggies

Hello @jimboss 

 

That sounds like a fantastic project. Installing a greenhouse and putting up shade sail is definitely possible. However, in order to give our members a better idea of what the area looks like, would it be possible for you post a photo of where you plan to put the green house? Can you also please include its measurements. 

 

Have you seen a greenhouse you would like to install or are you planning to build it from scratch? In regards to the shade sail it will need to be installed using a timber post as it is not advisable to anchor onto a Colorbond fence. 

 

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let me know.

Hi @jimboss 

 

I think I am seeing want you want and the answer is timber  screwed to the colorbonds top rail  for horizonatal mounting  point or  between the top rail and bottom rail for a vertical timber mounting post for SHADE cloth.  Dont screw through color bond infill panels as it will stick out on neighbours side/

 

On the house wall  screw a timber battons  and for colour bond too
