Is this worth buying..?

[braders]

Hi all
Do you think something like this is worth buying..?..or am I wasting my money..?

Cheers...

I had one the first year I started gardening. It was brilliant until the wind took it and shook it like a terrier with a rag!! Put it in a sheltered spot and weigh it down well (fasten to a fence if possible) and it will do you proud.

I bought something like that but smaller when I started last year. Raised some good stuff in it.

Two observations ...

1) How much is it?

2) I bet you end up buying a greenhouse a few months later like I did ... and it will never be big enough

Just under £50 from Argos...think I might go for it...thanks for the swift replies people.

The cover will only last for a few years though.

If you have a poundstretcher buy theirs - £35 for the same beast

i got a 4m X 5m polytunnel on ebay for under £50 so depending on size of it, it might be worth looking?

mine has flown away a couple of times though

Haven't had one Braders but £50 is money in my book and I think it would blow away in the first puff of wind. There have been several threads on here about similar structures that just went AWOL.

I do recall the Gardman Growhouse (£35) getting a good review, but I can't remember where - Amateur Gardening perhaps.
I'd rather have two of Homebase's £17 ones, which I can move to less-windy or more-sunny parts of my garden.

They can be unstable but if you improvise and do the equivalent of a tent tie-down kit then it will help. Strong rope or webbing or guy ropes passed over the top and tied to tent pegs hammered into the ground either side (only a quid or so each from the camping shop). Do about three and it shouldn't go anywhere. We've done it with a tent and it works.

Homebase have the same one for 25 quid on their website. I'm buying the same one!

let us know how you get on with it

i want a proper greenhouse, but i am having a deck fitted this year and want that down before the greenhouse! so ive bought a small 4 tier greenhouse thing - its isnt a walkin one or anything. I bought a fleece cover for it too so it will help with any frost - its not thing so <shrug>. I wouldnt expect something like that to last long term !

I notice the 4 tier ones are reduced in homebase to £15.99 !!

All done...very easy to put together, but you really need two people to put the cover on. It will do me for a couple of years, then I will buy a proper one. Have posted a pic too.
