ANOTHER Greenhouse Video!?! | JB's Allotment Diaries
Hey, good thinking, Batman 🤗. Put some glass in when it has paid for itself a bit more. I have a polycarb greenhouse and it walked down the garden twice in the wind. However, I still have it 5 years later. I held it down with ratchet straps right over the top and into ground stakes, and then to save the pannels I used silage tape. It's fabulous stuff because of what it is used for, and so it is waterproof. I have had no problems with it since. Where there's a will there's a way. It's looking great, JB! 👌Well done to you!
Thanks for the support Amanda! I've had problems where it's been used in the roof before, but my side panels have held strong for 3 years! That was quite nice new stuff though so we'll see how the other stuff does 😀
@@JBNat That's great!
Hi JB try using strips from a coke can you can cut them with scissors and they bend easy then put a small screw through the clip, polycarbonate sheet and the clip on the other side you could also use a thin piece of wood 6mm-10mm wide and 3mm -4mm thick, if you put then at the top and bottom of each sheet it will help to stop blowing away great video and yes I've cut my polycarbonate sheet under size and then had to turn them to make them fit that why I used a small piece of wood on every joint
A little tip that may work for you to stop the panels flexing and blowing out. At time 1:55 if you drill through the poly and diagonal cross member, then put a (longer than normal) greenhouse bolt through with a 1" ali washer on the poly side, you trap it there and it allows the normal W clips to hold. This does not work on every panel and its not pretty ... but it works
bro, get the glass. the polly looks terrible. Use the donations to get the new glass as requested please
Yes JB you remembered your flask!!! 👏🏻 & boy was it needed 😅 if I’m honest I hope you never finish this greenhouse coz these videos are absolutely hilarious 🤣 👍🏻
You’ve definitely inspired me to get back on the plot to do some winter jobs. Can’t wait for the next update 🤭🫣
So glad it is coming together for you. Sometimes done is better than perfect. You can always upgrade, as glass or poly become available.
Great video! Just think of all the hours of fun you'll have on your extended plot playing chase the sheets when the next storm blow a through!!
Hi JB could you not go on Ebay or something like that, you could find a full greenhouse that no one wants and use the glass ? put the word out, people buying a house which has a greenhouse but they arent interested in gardening, please use glass the poly carb stuff looks awful, glass is stronger as well take care see you on potty mouth garden club.
Good on ya! Straps all around the greenhouse can keep the pieces in place. Grapevine garden on RUclips has it on his.
Great video on a bright sunny day . My friend came to help with my green house as we had a bright sunny cold day but it is still going to cost around £40 or £100 replacement.
Do and nake do.
With the polly carb use vlearcsealabt on the panels seal around the panels inside and outbthis will help znd oreventbthe pllly blowing out in the wind.. all the best jb take care.
Polycarbonate works sort of OK, until a storm! if you use a single piece per bay. If you use two pieces like glass sometimes is, that’s where problems always used to happen for me. Use glazing clips but then seal round with clear mastic to give you a fighting chance!
Love the Frankenstein greenhouse idea. That’s what an allotment is about ;)
I got 4 pieces of 610 x 610 for 39 pounds. If you've got a local glass and mirror shop then go there. Online is crazy money.
I was quoted £30 for 25 x24" pane🤦🏻♀️
Omggg you are taking ages to fix your greenhouse!!😂😂😂😂
re poly at front potentially spoiling filming, the corresponding panels at the back look exactly the same size, swap tastic!
What a beautiful sunny day for such a job! Any updates yet on the plot behind you? I have been telling my husband about your greenhouse build. I purchased a greenhouse in 2020 and it is still not built due to the complex instructions. The company has now put videos online so I hope to get it finished this year! My poor seedlings will finally have somewhere to go besides the kitchen table. lol Have a fantastic day!
Jenn I will let you in on a little secret... I signed on the dotted line today! It is officially mine! I have loads to do at the moment but there will be a new plot tour as soon as I can get one out!
@@JBNat I am so excited for you!!!! Looking forward to all the new content you will be able to produce with this added space!! No one understands but other gardeners when you get extra space to grow! I often look at my neighbor's backyard and think of what I could do with that land. lol
Let’s hope eventually you grow lots of good food in the greenhouse eventually
Midweek video you’re spoiling us
It doesn’t matter job it’s an allotment not a show garden it will be perfect👍🙋🏻😊
Hi I am sure there is no need to refund. It’s a bit if trial and error with the greenhouse and it’s offering very good entertainment JB I sorry you having such probs.
I’m not sure if it’s just me but there’s been like a high pitch buzzing noise in the past few videos. Not to be hyper critical or add more editing jobs 😅
YOU CAN HEAR IT TOO!! I actually noticed this a while back and then thought it had gone away. I can't remove it in post with a low pass without majorly distorting the sound. I found if I didn't have the video really loud it wasn't too noticeable but thanks for letting me know.
I've been thinking about it for a while and I think it's some kind of electrical interference with the gimbal when the mic receiver is shoed onto it. Very difficult to hear it on location but thanks for pointing it out, I will try and get it fixed!
It's definitely the gimbal! I went back to last week's video and you can hear it when it's gimbal mounted, but not in the shots where it's on the tripod! Thanks again.
@@JBNat My finely tuned, autistic ears are happy to lend a critical hand any time 😂😂 hope the next bit of the greenhouse build goes well! And the bit after that. And the bit after that. And the 😏
@@davidjohnscully93 hahahah thank you so much 🙏
@@davidjohnscully93 fellow autistic person here who can hear it haha.
JB you make me smile! You are a good soul!
JB, remember measure twice cut once. Just watched Tony’s video of his completed Greenhouse. I wouldn’t worry how your Greenhouse looks, if it works it’s a piece of artwork, it looks good to me. Happy Gardening from z10b Southern California.
... I had that saying echoing around in my head for a while after doing that yep
Just Buy The Glass, lol.
Haha, who wouldn't want to see you get frustrated making a greenhouse and shouting at inanimate objects 😆Also, have you hear the saying "measure twice, cut once"? 😄
Hahahahaha I have heard it many times and I'm sure I've said it out loud lots too... Do as I say, not as I do!!
Oh JB... you do provide us all with a giggle at your expense. We all have these days. I have taken on 2 free old greenhouses. Both 12 x 8. Never dismantled or assembled one in my life before these. I took lots of videos and photos for reference when it came to popping them back up.. it really helped. But suppose I have been lucky, only needed a couple of panes on both of them. best of luck
So long as I'm making people smile I'm happy!! I knew as soon as I offered that piece of poly up after I'd cut it - it would at least make other people laugh! Sounds like you did a great job on your houses - did they come with a base?
@JBNat neither had a base. Did a wooden base for the one we put up in my garden 5 yrs ago. And last year the one in the allotment we put on concrete blocks (the heavy ones). Levelled the ground, then weed membrane then the blocks. We screwed metal home made brackets to the blocks and frame to secure it. Although all the glass weighs it down, I rather attach it to base too. After the flood I'm so pleased we didn't use wood😱
Hi JB, not sure about the polycarbonate, my hubby used it for his and it doesnt look good. Avceot the donations & get glass. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Always a joy to watch your videos brightens my day 😊😊
😊😊😊
You made laugh …
Congrats on your determination to make the polycarbonate work, but those pieces look quite flimsy.
You might be kicking yourself later in the season when the polycarbonate flies away, damaging your toms
My first reaction to the giggles whilst holding the poly carbonate was what has he done now ... but you did make me laugh 😂😂😂😂
You and Tony make a good comedy DIY team 👍
I hope you remembered to cover your sprouting broccoli 🥦
You are hilarious, thanks for letting us laugh with you. Don't think most of us would even try to mend a greenhouse. Fair play and keep that flask filled and watch out for the pigeons 😂
Polycarbonate is best cut by a special hook shaped knife the scrapes a groove in it. Several passes are needed, but it works well.
Keeping it real! I couldn't believe you managed to burn your mouth too!
I know nothing about greenhouses but was watching a video from that gentleman in the UK that grows everything in a bucket and he learned tragically that polycarb only has UV protecting film on one side, so now he has holes everywhere. You probably know this already but maybe will help someone 🤷🏻♀️
Yes this is a great point! I don't think it's possible to tell which way round with the old stuff. The nice blue one I bought still has the protective film on which shows you the correct way round :)
Lol. We all do things like that sometimes JB. Your just having one of those days. 😏
Remember it’s an allotment not the Chelsea Flower Show🤔
Exactly!!
Good luck getting the rest of the pannels on. I hope you get it done soon, so you can begin using it. You could always put a nice, tall potted-plant in front of the pannel for filming, if it bothers you.
Top job JB.
Love the way you’ve been able to reuse polycarbonate sheets from elsewhere that could have been destined for the bin!
Mind that yea is hot….😂
Was just laughing as the comment preview just said 'Top job JB' and I thought you were taking the piss hahahahahaha
Hello JB,
The best way to cut poly carbonate is with a 14 per inch tooth saw.
Finger cross that you have the sun screen film the right way round for the poly carbonate.
There is if you search a place that is doing a pack of 10 off , 610 x 1220 in 4 mm poly carbonate in the UK for under £60.00.
Ahh yes that makes sense, looks like a much finer blade! The screen is definitely correct on the large blue pane I held up that I purchased for the old greenhouse, but who knows with the old recycled stuff! I'm thinking it will be a bit of a temporary fix for now and maybe as time goes on I can replace it with glass (hopefully some that I can find, or cut, second hand!)
I use a diy ir box cutter knife,works well. One side is uv resitant on mine and that's why some are brown I think they were wrong side up, but hey well done, and how honest to give money back.
Yes the box cutter is great if you're cutting between the ribs! It's when you have to cut across them that it's a nightmare!!
Just give it your best shot for this year ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I inherited a greenhouse on my plot and replaced missing panels but I was hoping for some advise as one section of the roof keeps slipping, please don’t say I have to take the whole lot down and start again I don’t have your patience 😂 I got my new panels cut by someone else as I would do exactly what you have done 😂😂
Is it glass or poly?
@@JBNat glass I think it’s a bit short across not length if You get what I mean as my clips keep falling out 🤦♀️
Yes if its not wide enough that will do it! It could just be your clips though. Some are much stronger than others. I recently bought Wilko w clips and they are so so soft and flexible, they hold nothing in! I recommend trying some which are deep. They should be quite challenging to actually get into place in my opinion.
Good strong clips and three or four down each side of the pane should definitely hold it in!
@@JBNat thanks I’ll give it a go 👍 you are now the greenhouse expert as far as I’m concerned 😀
I thought it was Tony who was the disaster at DIY, but seeing his greenhouse build and now your debacle, the mantle now appears to have been firmly passed over to you.😳😉😎
Hahahahah you know I really can't complain! I was on such a high after getting the base so perfect and everyone saying 'Tony could never have done that' 😂😂
Surely I’m not this bad 😂🎉
You'll get it together JB 🥰
Aww jb with the spare funds you can pay Jess a wage for starring in your show 🤩😝
She already gets half 😁😁 We split everything down the middle because she takes care of so much other stuff for all the time I'm busy at the plot 😊😊
@@JBNat aww that’s great teamwork!
@@JBNat teamwork make the dream work x
It'll certainly be a bespoke greenhouse. Got everything crossed for you that you can get it done soon. Looking good. I feel so invested! 🌏💙🤎💚🍃🌿🍅🌶
