Green houses that are on sale are either ugly or expensive. With a bit of planning, patience and diy it should be possible to make a nice orangerie from second-hand material.
Skills to acquire: mason, woodworking and glass cutting
The plan
- Search for free/cheap material on marktplaats. Bricks, doors, windows and pieces of glass are very often offered for free
- Make foundation, build low walls, build the frame, choose a small window size
- Initially use plastic as windows. Replace the plastic piece by piece with (stained) glass found on marktplaats
