Managed to get the base levelled and post holes dug (again).... last week... Attachment: 100_6076 (Custom).JPG [ 147.45 KiB | Viewed 19366 times ] And started bracing up the side posts... Attachment: 100_6078 (Custom).JPG [ 141.7 KiB | Viewed 19365 times ] Got one side of the greenhouse posts set & levelled.... Attachment: 100_6079 (Custom).JPG [ 81.94 KiB | Viewed 19364 times ] The other is going to be a pain in the proverbial... coz they dug the holes about twice as deep as they needed to be....  Try setting a height, level and straight line... suspending the posts in mid air...
