    This looks great. I'd like to build one myself on my allotment. How did you prepare the base, did you cement the corner posts into the ground then attach the base wood to each post? Also, are the window frames made of wood and if so do you just drill the wooden window frames into main structure?

      Susan Dyck it actually holds up very well. It’s in the wide open yard and we’ve had some hail and really strong winds over the year and it’s standing strong. No complaints. Worked so well that we build a shed (which is another video in the series) and put the same roof on it and tree branches have fallen on and pine straw with no problem. Small tree limbs that is.
