My Growing Space #2

I bought this shade house from ebay last week for $40.

I thought it was a great idea, as it combines both a shade house and a potting bench, with storage underneath. The front rolls down (but I'll leave it open for winter)

Lots of people seem to want shadehouses. This is one option for people that may be space-limited or that don't have that many orchids (yet).

The only drawback with this one is that it isn't big enough if you do have a big (or even medium sized) orchid collection. I mainly have my small pots and my orchids in spike in here. It is also heavy, as it has a steel frame.

I think one could be made from an old outdoor table with the frame built to measure over the top.

I was also going to buy a proper walk-in shadehouse the same day, but the seller withdrew it at the last minute.
