Victorian greenhouse build from start to finish.
This video shows how we made a beautiful victorian style greenhouse over a few months, wood was difficult to get and then paint became difficult to get but we got there in the end and now reap the rewards of our hard labour.
Thank you to my son Tyler, who helped me with the woodwork & labouring, it was a great project to do with my son who is well on his way to becoming a great craftsman.
Also thank you to my good friends James, Richard & Amanda for all your help and hard work put into this build.

Your greenhouse is absolutely NEXT LEVEL! Thanks for patiently showing the build process! This is top notch craftsmanship all the way and you have reliable friends to carry you through!! I don't think I have heard a mention of total costs BTW. Can you please provide this...or an estimate? Thank you!

@ironian24 2 жыл бұрын

Thx for the comment, much appreciated, the cost without the labour was £7900.00 total with all the hardware, wood, bricks, cement, sand, glass and fixings. If labour was added you would be looking at another £7000.00 on top of that.

@ironian24 2 жыл бұрын

To be fair I had enough to think about building it latalone thinking of making a video. I am sure carpenters and joiners would get the jist of what I was doing, I would not suggest anyone could make this, you need a lot of tools and machinery and a workshop as well as experience. To be honest the video was more a second thought over the build. And I am surprised the video is doing so well. I appreciate the feedback back and appreciate the views and comments this has had, I really enjoyed making this one.

Beautiful! I’d die a happy man if I had a greenhouse like that. I’ve wanted one since I was a kid. I have one now but I need to cover it with something more permanent than the thin plastic I’ve been replacing every year. I need to use a greenhouse all year. I need backup heat too so I don’t lose everything if the power goes out. Greetings from Yacolt Washington. Good work!

@ironian24 Ай бұрын

@daytodaylivin4418 thx for the comment, The wooden frame just beds down on a layer of cement. This ensures levels are correct. You could use wall brackets, but I never did. The wood is simply pine and treated pine, the roof is jointed and bird mouthed to prevent movement or spreading when weight is applied like glass. It is pretty much in it's forth year and still looking good.
