I have managed to get a second greenhouse same size as the one I have, is it possible to join them together, has any one done this and how hard is it to do.  Pictures would be lovely if someone has one similar please.
Thank you

Better to keep them as two, then you can have shade in one, sun in the other. A cool one and a hot one.

The variations are  enormous in the type of conditions certain plants need. But if you are doing it for a space saving reason I would put the spare on the end of the old one by just removing the glass from the end, replace with some strenghtening, butt the other greenhouse up to the open end but leave the doors in. That way you will still have two climate zones, but the flexibility to enlarge at any time by just opening the doors

Or just simply end to end. 2 greenhouses, 2 doors.

I do have a large back garden but also two young boys who love football, so the reason for joining them is that both can go in the back corner out the way wheres theres still sunlight and the football cannt reach ( not unless they kick like michael owen lol)  Someone advised just to potr rivet them together would that be alright.

If they are identical in shape etc and butt straight up to one another.Use a g cramp to hold them together while you drill them, then bolt em  together (preferably aluminium bolts). This way you can always seperate them if ever you need to ..Pop rivets would need drilling out . I have done this with 2 8x6 greenhouses.
If they are on bases you need  to take the base off the sections you are joining .
I have also joined an 8x6 and an 8x4 which weren't identical  and didn't line up ...I used 2x2 timber between them and drilled and screwed the external flanges of them onto this .. .. will post a pic if you need it ..cheers, Jim

Not too sure you would want your 2 lads kicking like Owen the way he is playing at the mo, but I suppose he couldn't hit a barn door at the mo so maybe your greenhouse is safe after all :P :P :P
My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in. Bill Shankly.
