Franc Hancock's greenhouse in Australia

"This Image shows the view now looking through the door. As people can see the glasshouse is a lean-to style. Unfortunately it can't fit under the very low eaves of my house, so I built a wall out of timber and fibro, padded it with fibreglass insulation batts,covered the back with builders plastic and erected it braced onto a footing of railway sleepers which also provide the base for the rest of the aluminium frame glasshouse. The glasshouse was then erected bolted onto the railway sleepers and the wall.

In some of the shots it is possible to see a white cloth in use below the roof glass and on the end walls. It is a thermal skin called Marix and is like a polymer paper.
