Good one BK - just be careful that there is no risk of water dripping off the CCA into the grow-beds or fish tank. There is real bad stuff in that shit.

the open ends (which will be covered and turned into a proper doorway etc) face east west so the summer sun will follow the length of the hothouse

Ok... I reckon then you'd get enough light through to the other side....

Just a thought... maybe attach some plastic lattice to the south wall and use it to train pumpkin, beans, cucmber, what ever up it.... might as well use it??
