Google.  You'll find greenhouses in all shapes and sizes sold online plus prices in local stores such as garden centres, DIY stores and so on.

I used a company called The Greenhouse People.

We bought ours from Greenhouses Direct.  We have been very pleased with ours and it has stood up to some very strong winds.  We bought a Rhino because we are in a windy situation on the edge of Salisbury Plain.  Buy the biggest that you can afford.

Have a look on your local freecycle groups, or facebook selling sites,
I have got 2 for my plot for free from the freecycle groups you may have to take them down and move them yourself easy job..

I bought my 2 from the Greenhouse People, several years apart I may add.

Very pleased with the service, I would say if you can get an extra tall greenhouse. Makes a world of difference.

I do love a good glass box.

I bought my Vitavia from Greenhouse stores on-line, for the best price, after looking about to see which brand suited me.
It's got high eaves and double doors, plus more roof and corner struts than I've seen on other brands.

Can't compete with the price paid by johhnyyco  though  :tongue3: LOL

Glass on the S side and polycarb on the N side is the best of both worlds and can save a lot of money (especially if the wind carries footballs to it) - but I've never tried negotiating this for a new one. Worth a try though.

Cheers.
With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.
