Purpose Infrastructure

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
