    Scarlet, VC - I think that's exactly what he's saying.

    Euan, as you're never going to get much light coming through that side with the fence being there, hows about using ply and painting it white to reflect light? Just a thought ...

      Looking at your shadow the sun is behind you so you are looking approximately northish.

      As per AIC I would cover the two area's of vertical fence rails with marine ply and paint it white, this would reflect the sun back into your GH.

      I think your neighbour has done something similar at the rear of his GH.

        Apologies for the lack of clarity.

        Are you asking what to use for the back panel of your mini greenhouse ?
        You want to cover the vertical planks in the fence but not the horizontal plank?
        Yes.

        Thanks for the suggestions about boarding it and painting the boarding white.

          Yes that's correct.

          Looking at the photograph again you're right he has.

          I think this is the way to go.

            Am thinking some polycarbonate sheets screwed in and then some polystyrene sheets screwed/pinned on top - that way should be pretty good for keeping out moisture, keeping heat in and reflecting the sun as suggested.

              Wood will not act as a heat sink like a large tank of water or bricks will because its the mass that stores the heat.
