Back in January/February when I was looking for a house, the space to put a big greenhouse on was high up the list of must-haves.... The place I've found has problably got that space, the problem is between me moving later this month and having a fairly busy time ahead with lighting gigs at festivals  (and the delivery timescale)  I don't think I'll be able to get a decent sized greenhouse (by which I mean at least 16x10, preferably bigger) sorted out for this year. So my plan was to get one of the cheap 6mx3m polytunnels (they come in different sizes, 6x3 is the the biggest), and use that this year, apart from anythiggn else it will allow me to work out where it's best to put the greenhouse......

But they've disappeared from ebay and the only supplier I could find online is quoting 7 weeks until their next shipment.... might as well be 7 years for all the good that will do me, I need it inside the next 2 or it's a non-starter......

Anyone know anywhere with them in stock?

Umm... it's an 8x10 for 255, the 8x15 are more....... I'll be getting a big GH later on, so I'd need the 10x20 and it's 350+.... and I want it to be easy to move around so I can work out where  I'll be putting the big GH....argh... this is a stress I didn't need tacked onto the move......

I'd thought of the DIY route, but have decided to get a 4.5 metre one and order the GH as soon as I've moved... then I can get the stuff out of the poly and into the GH this year.... I'll just have to decide early I guess....
