The brand that springs to mind for me would be Rhino. Pricey but very good quality.

A friend of mine has an 8 x 12 which regularly causes me greenhouse envy!

Yup, Rhino. But as vikkib says - très cher.

Or these also très cher:

I have a baby Rhino, because the wind kept destroying all my plastic blowaways

You can buy cheaper greenhouses, but you might find it (and its panes) travelling to your neighbour's

A geodesic dome style greenhouse will withstand high winds, gale force even, but commercially available ones will destroy your bank balance.

Ruby it does look a very nice GH but they are based in California so I dread the think how much shipping would cost to here in the UK.

Yes - it was - didn't mean to make you look daft!!!

A geodesic dome style greenhouse

like the Eden Project. I think home ones start at £2k (similar price to the Rhinos)

If you're saving up, that's:

- 400 trips to Starb*cks at £5 a time, or 400 bottles of wine
- if you can swap the car for a bike, you'll be able to afford your gh in <66 weeks (based on the cheapest running costs of £30pw)


Solardome outdoor living spaces for your home and garden

or you could build your own!

Findlay you may have purchased your greenhouse by now, so this is for information, after loosing three greenhouses to high winds I bought a Rhino greenhouse have had it now for eight years and had some high winds in that time, Thursday being the most recent, and the one bit of advice I would offer is that you check and tighten as required all nuts and bolts in the structure.
All the best with whatever you get.

Thanks but I have already purchased a Elite Titan 800 which is strong and should do the job. Thanks for all the help
