Title: Gardman Plastic Greenhouses
Post by: sandersj89 on March 15, 2005, 09:20:14
Bit of a plea for help.

For the last few years I have been using 2 plastic greenhouses from Gardman to supplement my main heated glass greenhouse. They have worked very very well and I have had good crops of toms, peppers, chillies, melons, cucumbers, etc. in them.

You can see a picture of the type here. It is about 6 by 4 in size:

However time taken its toll on the plastic covers and they have become very brittle and are now useless. One was also half blown away in a gale some months ago.

Originally I purchased them from Dyas for about £25 each but this year they are not stocking them, just a smaller unit. I have searched the net and cannot find them other than on the Gardman website. Sadly you cannot buy from them direct.

Has any one seen them for sale in the south east or on line? I have emailed Gardman to get a supplier list to see if they will sell direct but no response as yet. All I need is new covers as the frames are perfect still. If I have to buy the full unit I am happy to do so as the spare frames will make a simple fruit cage.

Any ideas appreciated.

I thought you could buy direct from Gardman!  They have their place in Spalding.  Our local in bloom group has an account with them so I assumed they'd deliver.  I would phone them up and make sure  ;D  They are on 01406 372237  or fax 372233    sales@gardman.co.uk

And when I bought my mini-greenhouse they had some in-store as well.

Think I've seen someone post a pic of something similair from Morrisons or Lidls or somewhere like that recently too.

Thanks everyone.

I have contacted Guardman and they have not been able to help.

DP,

Which branch of Morrisons did you visit, I do not have any close to home but have tried the ones near work in Reigate and Sutton and they have never stocked them and cant get them!
