OK Winter is upon us and the project  for this winter in to 'BUILD' a greenhouse as my alluminium one was stolen. I am hoping to build one from window frames but I cannot get the window frames  :'(. Does anyone have any ideas or tips. I would not like to buy new glass or anything new as it would cost me an arm and a leg. I want this to be as cheap and even as rough as possible. Just as long as it does the job of growing my tomatoes that is all I am interested in. Any help or tips would be of most use and help. Thank You in advance  :)

You could try being really nice to your local double glazing company, maybe an offer of some veg or pies etc.  ?   {:¬)#

See if anyone you know is getting their windows replaced and ask for the old ones.

You could try looking in skips - I'm always seeing old windows in the ones round here.

You never know - you might see someone advertising an old greenhouse. I got mine this way - didn't have to pay, just had to dismantle it myself.

Good luck!

Same as Emmalou here, Sexy Snail, got my little for one for free, just had to dismantle it, put an ad in free ads? The lady was so grateful it had gone, think if i'd asked, she'd have paid me for taking it!!
