The site is excavated enough to allow for a cement foundation.
Sand is delivered!
The sand is tamped down and leveled within the foundation frame.
A trench allows water and power to be directed to the greenhouse from the house.
Reinforcing mesh is placed on top of the sand foundation. Note floor drain in the centre of the greenhouse floor.
