Getting a new greenhouse---what do you think?

[Peter]

Tried the DIY warehouses yet?

Homebase's cheapest aluminium is a whisker under £250 for a 6'x4' and a whisker under £270 for an unstated size that looks like a 6'x8'.

In fact quite a few under £300 at http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...rtBy=2&x=9&y=7

The three in the middle (with twin doors) look suspiciously like Norfolk builds to me.

I like the £14.99 shelves though ...... hmmmmm tempted !

OH bought me a 6 x 8 from Focus, normal price is 159 Ithink but sometimes they have an offer and we paid 129. Not put up yet but the 6 x 4 'sample' in the store looks okay and they have lots of extras you can purchase too.

Just want to say thankyou all so much for helping me out, I am so glad I found this site.
I will have a greenhouse by the weekend I am sure. I am so impatient to get outside.
The Homebase ones look fine and in my price range......
Thanks Again

Buy a greenhouse?

Is that where they originaly come from?

I don't know anyone who buys sheds or greenhouses.

OK you give the previous owner some beers or Jam but to buy one new.

Freecycle, Friday Free ads, local free paper, corner shop, allotment society. There are always green houses going. If worst comes to worst drive down the road and look in the garden if you see one thats not in use and there are kids in the house, put your card through the door. Most people want shot of them and cant be assed or know how to dismantle them.

If you do have to dismantle one. Photograph it form loads of angles. write the positon of the glass in chinagraph pencil on the pains, take out all the glass Roof first then try to dismantle it in to sections not bits. and take a friend and load of newspaper to wrap the glass.

Hello Ellasmum,
I just purchased a NORFOLK GREEN HOUSE Ultimate Junior 4 (Think it's 6x8). I am delighted with it. It is anchored to a home made based just incase we have anymore of those high winds. If you want any pics just email me :-)
