how about a Norfolk Patio house.  not sure of sizes in old measurement but it looks like a 4' x 4'. Edit: just got the calculator out and it is the right size.  ;D

Me and Tel both have had g/h from here and whilst they're not top of the range, mine has weathered many a storm and is still standing.

hope this helps.

Excellent prices for all sorts, KP, so I've added it to my faves. I would have been particularly interested in their staging when I was looking round earlier in the year. Ta.

staging ain't up to much to be honest with you Lishka.  OK it serves a purpose, but even with the tightest of tight nuts it still has a tendancy to lean!

there are no corner triangles to prevent it (the supplied bracing stops it leaning from front to back but not side to side), but if you had someone to knock you up a couple (oooh matron), then bob's your muvvas bruvva.

you get what you pay for and norfolk is incredibly good budget range (and their staff are lovely - you get a real sense of family when you phone).

i'd certainly recommend them.

We are in the process of erecting a greenhouse. Had to stop work cos of the thunder today. Hoping to finish it tomorrow. It's looking quite smart so far. The company is KETER. We got it from Homebase. Costs more than the Norfolk but is qite different.
