We initially bought it to add a conservatory onto the house but it was a bit imposing so we decided to stick it behind our cherry tree  It was a massive 24 x 12 hardwood double glazed conservatory used for housing a swimming pool on a really posh house in the country. They'd not written the ad particularly well and only one other person bid on it We paid £180 last year and it's been sat in bits on our driveway ever since. Shifted some stuff round in the garden and got some decking from ebay for the base. it looked like this when I went to take it apart  took the back seats out of the caravelle to move it home  decked and ready  taking shape    roof on tonight hopefully |

the neighbour already asked if it was another house  , she didn't seem too pleased thinking of making a mezzanine for half the roof to store stuff above the cherry trees have gone mad this year, they are full of starlings and magpies eating them all |

yes Dylan it was 6 panels long and 3 panels wide but open at one end where it joined their main conservatory. I've done 3 panels wide and 2 panels long but 4 sides instead to make it freestanding ( if that makes sense ) jaz stood back today and said we should have made it 12 x 12 Wayne I think my neighbour is concerned because I've just added that £50 conservatory to the back of the house, but we've also got 2 sheds ( one housing the biodiesel processor and the other holding the methanol ) and a large summerhouse in the garden |

Decided to make better use of the space by using some £2.99 hooks on offer from halfords, buy 3 and only pay for 2  |
