Title: greenhouse - good bargins
Post by: Sparkly on January 27, 2008, 16:03:59
Although we were offered a free glass greenhouse, we have decided not to take it as it is so windy on our plot. I am worried that it will shatter within days! We are decided that a polycarbonate one may be a better idea? I am looking for 6x4 (ish) polycarbonate greenhouse, ideally with staging included. I like the idea of making one, but we are already planning to construct our own sheds so don't want to have too many projects that need completing by march! I have seen this one? http://www.norfolk-greenhouses.co.uk/shop/shop-infopage.php?longref=77~0

it seems cheap, would this be any good?

That looks quite a good one - but I would like an extra bay on it as you always use more space than you think you'll need!

I went to Wyevale yesterday and they had greenhouses that were 6x8 (I  think) and were all moulded plastic - slightly odd looking - with a metal frame!  They looked strong and had built in vents etc - but were dearer at £199.00 .  I was interested because my plot is on the perimiter of the site and I think that  if I had a glass greenhouse - I think it could become target practice for passing yobs!

I have one of those Norfolk greenhouses I've had no problems with the panels popping out. Maybe because mine is kind of sheltered. You can always use some kind of adhesive to glue the panels in place.
