Re: Gogglebox's Garden Blog: The Temple of Light
i think green uplighting very subtle would look good to switch between that and the tube lighting. Could they be built flush with the floor outside the pillars, by removing a brick etc?
Re: Gogglebox's Garden Blog: The Temple of Light
awesome!!! if it were me i would have some subtle uplight on the coloumns but thats just me, i'm going to get some for uplighting some of the bigger/feature palms this year

Voila le Maison Verte
All polycarb now in place (but inly for these pics really, it will all be coming down again tomorrow and being stored until winter). Good to feel it's working, even with a dull day like today it's substantially warmer in there.
and rather than a topping out ceremony I decided to invest in a couple of badges from the Land Rover Discovery Tomb Raider Edition that was made to promote and used in the first Tomb Raider movie:
One either side of the door:
I'll do some more interior dressing tomorrow before I take the panels off, that way it won't matter if it's pouring with rain or blowing a gale.

Re: Gogglebox's Garden Blog: The Temple of Light
They are fixed in place with wooden battens that are screwed into the frame. To remove the panels I have to remove 3 of the 4 battens and the panel slides out. The battens are then replaced and screwed in until then panels need to go back.cordyman wrote:very very nice

The roof and the door panels are permanent as both are well hidden from view so only 4 pieces need to be stored in the shed taking up just 4" of space along the side wall with a layer of fleece between each to protect them from scratching. I may decide to fix and old double duvet to the wall and screw in a couple of large eyelets that I can string a bungee cord between to hold them securely.

Re: Gogglebox's Garden Blog: The Temple of Light
You a clever man Goggle , very impressive, lets face it greenhouses etc are not the most attractive of buildings, however you have created an interesting feature that doubles as a good working space. Who says men can't multi task?
