They sell greenhouses in the shops and usually they use 4mm poly. So, 6mm is adequate for any weather and wind conditions. But, of course, 10mm is much stronger ..... but much costly as well.

I do not know what I am waiting for.... perhaps for a bad weather and then I will start digging :eek:
By now have marked the place for the greenhouse and also made 12 anchors. Those anchors will be cemented in the ground, the wooden frame will go on top. IMG_20221010_180213a.jpgIMG_20221011_133656a.jpg

Weather was nice, so I drilled 12 holes in the ground ~80cm deep. Then inserted anchors and poured ~13kg concrete in each of them. All is levelled up by laser level. After some time will make wooden basement on top of the metal pipes.

So, on top of the anchors there are horizontal metal plates are welded. Will use 80x100mm pine beams. IMG_20221017_143723a.jpgIMG_20221017_173355a.jpgIMG_20221017_171627a.jpg
