Fed up with the covers of the plastic types splitting I've splashed out on this model.  I'm delighted.   ;D  G x

Blimey - thats posh  :) what a lovely thing -  was it hugely expensive ??

Georgie

Well, it wasn't cheap, but I'm hoping it's a good investment.  It's also very versatile.  Here's a link to the site I used -I got 10% off.   :)

I quite fancy one of those myself  :) we have a conservatory type thing - we call it the lean to, OH keeps his motorbike in it and I squash trays of seedlings etc around the bike but it's not ideal as no ventilation. I've looked at the plastic versions but we are on the coast and is v gusty sometimes so not sure how stable they would be..... but I do like the look of your new g/house... covet covet  ;D best start saving ;D but in the meantime - enjoy Georgie  :D

Greenscrump.  The downside of my new one is that there is no bottom shelf.  Thankfully it is sited in a sheltered spot but in your position I think I'd go for a four-shelf plastic one and use the bottom shelf to house heavy stuff like sand, compost, gravel etc.  Thanks for your kind words.

Green & purple with envy here, do fancy one of those!
Best of luck with it  :)

I've got one like that, it's in it's second year, I love it! The only difference is that only half of my lid lifts up.

I fixed the back uprights to the wall behind - it's in a sheltered spot but I am very clumsy and liable to crash land in it occasionally. ::)
You been goofin' with the bees?

Heldi

Ooooh get you ! Very nice G.  ;D

When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

I'm sticking with the cheapo plastic covers. My plot's very sheltered with all the hedges around, and I find that the covers last several years. A more open site might be more of a problem though.
