  • I am buying a greenhouse

    Please help.
    Its a minefield, have found a thread on here about staging to help me, but i am looking for a 8 x 6 ft greenhouse and the prices vary so much.
    I don't have alot of funds and so am looking for the best bargain can anyone recommend somewhere or would it be best to goto somewhere like Homebase to get one.
    thankyou

    I had this one delivered today & has taken me all day just to get the frame together. I hope to fit the polycarb tomorrow & get it finished. Not bad for the price.

      Many greenhouses are built down to a price (by using flimsier materials). They also scrimp on instructions (Norfolk!)

        B&Q have an 8x6' polycarb in now.. not sure of the price, I think it's around the same...

        I'm in the same boat, but am really considering toughened glass (we have a baby).

          Thats resonable as the one i was looking at was another £100 on top.

            As TS Says, shop around and get the best you can afford. I didn't mind the cheaper one as I enjoy the challenge. It's now up & finished & am really happy with it.

                  That looks great.

                  I think thats the one i am going to go for, not to worried about the DIY side of things as husband will do that for me.

                  Thankyou

                      Ummmm.

                      I think that's just the base pack not the whole greenhouse........

                        Thanks i see now just the base, i do hope these sites just show the base because it can be misleading for noobies like me.
