X-lite, yes, shade and insulation. I bought six 4 x 1 mtr sheets, just over £500 plus another bloomin £90 for delivery but I think it's the best I could lay my hands on.

I'm going to grow various chillies, tomatoes, aubergines and my banana (plants, not fruit, yet lol) to add a little more interest but eventually it may well end up being 100% 'chids.

Cody, my man, you can keep ALL snow - especially mine. I was born in the wrong country; India or Tahiti were my first choices but...

It's going to look so tropical when you fill it! Bet you can get awesome tomatoes and chilies in there.

Thank you guys. I have some fabulous steel melting chillies and some wonderful Brandywine tomatoes in there. I'm planting some companion plants, marigolds and garlic and some basil too - love the stuff. Like the song says, "been long time comin, but a change is gonna come."
