    Don't know if this will help or not, but my Dad has a (very large) Rhino Greenhouse. It took a whole Easter Weekend (4 days! LOL) for the two of us to put up, then he glazed it. No complaints at all. The automatic louvres in the roof are still working, (albeit noisily) and it's been up at least eight years...

      I finally finished my greenhous today. Started putting it together on Saturday and finished the basic frame on Sunday as well as making a timber base. Monday was taken up cladding it in polythene and today I finished off the door and window.

      So 4 days in total from start to finish working mostly on my own.

      I reckon Norfolk greenhouses are excellent value for money as the finished product is a hell of a lot of greenhouse for £120ish and surprisingly sturdy. They are a bit of a mission to put together though and you need to make a few educated guesses. My top tip would be READ THE INSTRUCTIONS very carefully and take your time.

        I've got a 6'x6' Ultimate. It was a pig to put together (took three of us, each with a degree ), but I'd recommend it. I've never had a panel even come loose, in about 4-5 years with some pretty atrocious weather. It is starting to show a bit of wear, but I think it'll be good for at least another 2-3 years, perhaps more.

        I just give it a quick spring clean once a year, and go round & tighten any bolts that may have worked loose. I wish it was bigger though.

          I've seen one of their Ultimate's 2 plots away from the one it was originally constructed on... But to be fair, I didn't see how good a job they'd done on putting it together! Apparently they're better if you silicone the polycarb panels in? I love my Standard though. Although after 4 years, the gable ends could do with replacing as they're coming unstuck a bit now.

          Keep a roll of greenhouse tape handy hailtryfan, especially if you're using a strimmer anywhere nearby...

            I didn't with mine, and I've never understood how they're supposed to come out? Maybe I just got a good one.
