I’m not sure if this is the best sub-forum for this as it’s a building question. I plan to put down a 6” deep concrete footing followed by two courses of bricks to support a 10 by 6 foot greenhouse.

They are the same company too. Simplicity has excellent reviews. They use slightly different glazing seals and... Read more ..read more
