My back yard is in full sun almost all day. And in wondering where to put a greenhouse probably 8by 10ish. Im thinking 1 of 2 places.where the shed is or in the corner of the yard.

'Where the sun don't shine' definitely ain't the right answer to this question I reckon...
(pic is not visible btw)

Well let's start with the basics. What are you planning on growing in this greenhouse? Is it going to be heated?

That's ok! I can't see the picture either but I would suggest to get as much morning light as possible and to avoid afternoon sun. Although Nepenthes like bright light you will start to run into heat issues with full south exposure.
If you can share pictures of the surrounding area that would help too. Are there any deciduous tree you could use to shade in the afternoon. That works great because the winter will be when your starving for light and the trees won't have leaves.
Are you going to be using electric or gas? Have you though about what you want to use for materials? Wood frame vs. metal. Glass vs polycarbonate vs double inflated poly?

Yah ill try again with pics of the 2 areas ...poly carb and probably electric heating with propane back up if for some odd reason the power goes out for days..live in abbotsford so its not far off from u h2o swore u r on the island . there r some cedar hedging in the corner of the yard in the neighbours that r a good 10 feet. Where the shed is ,my ideal spot but it would be next to the house and against a fence.. Cuz if its in the corner of the yard its going to get hot sun almost all day if not all day...will see what im talking about tomorrow:p. only thing iv seen online is to have as much of the green house faceing south for max winter light? Nothing about putting it in a too bright spot. I have to put shade cloth on it but

I cant remember how I got around that last time I uploaded pics onto here...... I signed up for imgur - it gives you a direct link to the jpeg via http. I found this to be the only reliable way to embed an image with my post.
