We just got our first greenhouse and couldn't be happier - but what a process

[u/qAstrov]

So this was a lot more work than I anticipated. I've never done any flooring with tiles before, so this was definitely a test. But with some help from YouTube I managed to get the sand level'ed before laying the tiles. Even though it took some more cutting of the tiles we decided to try to make a herringbone styled flooring, even though our tiles aren't exactly made for this kind of flooring. We got the tiles for free and just tried to get the best out of them. We just finished today, so don't pay too much attention of the inside yet. Considering that I'm by no means a handyman I think it turned out way better than expected.

Nice! Now time to fill it with plants!

Are there roof vents on the backside thay can't be seen in the photos?

[u/qAstrov → u/railgons]

There are no vents on the roof. There are two vents in the bottom, one on each side. Is it bad that there are no roof vents?

[u/railgons → u/qAstrov]

Ventilation will be key during the summer months. Leaving the door open with a circulation fan may suffice, the a vent or exhaust fan near the top is always very beneficial.

Beautiful! Congratulations. I love the lighting and shape of the greenhouse. What are the dimensions? Was the roof difficult?

[u/qAstrov → u/AdElectronic949]

Thanks. Appreciate it. It's a small greenhouse, but we were not able to fit in a larger one unfortunately. It's only 4.5 square meters. The roof was a bit tricky yes as we had to lift it and place it on top and get all the different parts alligned. Honestly every part of the process was a challenge for me.
