I've got a few perspex shelters in my garden. There's one on the north side of the garage and another on the south side. They were very drafty and I wanted to close them in. Here's the south shelter before the work
Open spaces covered over with bubble wrap
No door ...
After ...
One of the windows slides open, for ventilation (and to allow Bella to inspect what's inside the shelter !)
Here's the north shelter ... It's all open and in a mess ...
From the outside ...
After the work ...
A new window where it was all open
A third shelter, on the side of my shed, has a Fuchsia gone wild :-
Looking out :-
I am going to put lots of cuttings etc into the renovated shelters where I hope they will survive the winter

All looking good Eli, though I would make 1 suggestion. When using bubble insulation, go for the large bubble.

I'm glad you put in an opening window for Bella Eli, she looks like it was one of her favourite viewing posts! Your plants should all be very happy in there now.

Thank you daitheplant. I was going to insulate the roof with bubblewrap because it's just plastic sheets. I'll get some with large bubbles
Thank you SueA. Bella enjoys sitting on that wall and looking into the shelter. She pesters me until I go down there with her

Thank you grindle. I'll be able to stay in there to do some sowing and potting even when it's raining or windy

Sorry for being so long replying daitheplant. I didn't sow them. Beryl was so poorly early in the year so the garden etc had to take second place. I'm keeping them till next year.
