The spot I put it in had a slope so we had to dig into the earth on one corner and the opposing corner build up a berm of gravel to get it leveled. After erecting it, I ordered five tons of gravel and wheelbarrowed it from the driveway uphill to the greenhouse. I was short a couple of tons though so I used concrete pavers I poured a year or two earlier (buried under the gravel). The gravel provided great drainage but also allowed termites to come in and start eating my wooden shelves (lessons learned). My son-in-law helped me shovel and wheelbarrow all the gravel. My dad was in the greenhouse raking each load out to level it. I sure miss my old GH but if I ever do it again, I will get a much larger one as I grew out of space in 3 years. |
