My frame is bolted to a concrete floor.

I have two HF 6x8 greenhouses end to end making a 6x16 with a door on each end. It seemed to triple the space inside. The bottom is mounted on a frame of two 2x6 boards and a 2x4 flat on top to gain inside height.

Nice. Are they made so they can mate up well?

I used several 6 inch pieces of flat AL strap, about 2 inches wide, to join the T sections used for the frame. The center post now looks like TT. I bought 2x1/8x48 "yardsticks" for about halt the price of AL bar stock. Then sealed the outside with AL tape. A horizontal crossways strap just over head level strengthens the now 2-piece ridgepole which is no longer supported in the center. Sort of a wide "A" shape. And it keeps the sides from bowing out in the center.

Pics would help... I guess it is late so I'm having trouble with the visual. Interested though. I too spent some serious time with mods so hoping to learn.

Its walnut season.... :laughing:

Thanks to MossRoad's suggestion, I've just completed a project with my new HF 20-ton shop press. I can tell you, this puppy is up to the job, even without air assist. :thumbsup:

That's not the smell of new plastic...

It's the smell of cheap.

I fear they are lead based fumes.

Any opinions on the temporary garages hf sells, think they are in the 200-300 price range? Between the hotrod fiero, tractor, and attachments I've run out of room in the garage. Pole building is in the future but still a couple years away. If anyone has one how has it held up? Year or 2 or not even through the winter? Northeast ohio so we do get snow, just not in the 100 inch range.

haha, it's not just me then! Always liked them for some unknown reason. The '90s (Burgundy) Monte Carlos as well.
