Greenhouse Plans

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know where it is possible to purchase DIY plans for traditional, Victorian style greenhouses?
The prices from the leading manufacturers are steep to say the least and I was wondering whether it would be cheaper to have manufactured and assembled myself.
Many thanks

I've got plans for such joys as a rustic thatched summerhouse but so far nothing detailed re glasshouses.

You could ask the National Trust (see link below) or

http://www.oldhousejournal.com (look at the magazine part) has a load of useful info, may have something to interest.

http://www.oldhouseweb.com/Product_Stories/Yard_and_Garden/_Greenhouses_.shtml

has plenty of pics to inspire!

I'm sure others will have some old gardening/joinery books though. Or try a search of Abe Books?

I bet that somehwere on-line there are plans...

have a quick look here:
