Hi again Edward! I just found these pictures of the seedling house 'in-the-process' of being built and I think they might help you more than the 'finished' photos;

There is steel re-bar stuck into the cement walls which sit inside the PVC pipes. This 'anchors' them in place. (you can see 2 pieces on the front of the first picture - for doorway pipes). The floor of mine slopes to a drain which has a valve so I can flood the floor (make sure you also have an overflow drain or you'll lose all your seedlings in a big rain!). Be careful about the slope inside - first time I had too much slope, top end plants were dry while low end plants were drowning!). I wish I had made it taller as I have to crouch over to move around inside. I would also add a piece of wood running along the side walls to attach the net to so that I could raise the side walls to get at plants without having to climb around inside.

:biggrin: Good luck!
