As per above I have two greenhouses in my garden plus a third in bits. All of them I dismantled and collected then rebuilt in my garden.
Which leads me on to my question. The small 6' x 4' greenhouse on the left is to be replaced by the larger 6' x 6' gh on the right.
However the existing concrete base is too small and needs extending to the line of the bricks I have laid out.
What is a suitable way to do this? Should I shutter and fill completely with concrete or could I get away with filling some of the area with broken paving slabs (see behind the greenhouses, I have plenty and skim a couple of inches of concrete over the top?
Should I drill holes in the existing step on the base and put large screws in there to help it stay together or should I do something else?
I was planning on leaving the existing paving slabs beneath the bricks in place and laying the concrete on top. These are proper old school 2 x 2 slabs which are a couple of inches thick and have been there in the same place for 25 years plus.
Answers on a postcard please
