greenhouse that attaches to wall or fence

[pwlynch]

I am contemplating getting one of those greenhouses that don't have a back and attaching it to the back of the shed.Has anyone got any experience of these.Are they easy to attach,sturdy,anything else you can tell me.They have them in Argos,haven't looked anywhere else yet.

We have a greenhouse leanto. It's fixed to the garage wall. It's still needs a proper base but because of where it is it's got slabs.
The bricks warm up and continue to radiate heat for some time which makes it toasty for longer in summer.

It was from a proper greenhouse company though. My OH put it together mostly on his own I think.

I bought a Norfolk lean to greenhouse which is one of those light poly carbonate ones..
Takes a bit of putting together and will be best served with secure fixing to the wall
Hopefully after that it will do the job for me...

I have two greenhouses a little 6x6 B&Q glass house that is 25 odd years old and a posh cedar shed greenhouse [greenhouse leans against shed and entry is through the shed] that himself bought me when I had to have loads of treatment for a condition a couple of years ago and I needed seriously cheering up.

They both have advantages and disadvantages. Glass on one side only means that all the plants lean over and really you can only grow on one side, the higher roof of the lean-to means the roof gets seriously grown over and cannot be reached to be picked without a stool, but you can have hanging baskets. Oddly the glass only house is warmer in winter [which really surprised me].

Its more difficult to properly ventilate a greenhouse without an external door, even with the posh vents installed and extra windows.

Hello there Tripmeup. Picking up this thread to add to it but also to let you know that I haven't gone for the Norfolk one after all as it didn't fit the space.
Pwlynch, if you are still looking I have just ordered a small walk in from Argos and it was half price. I can just about squeeze it in. One of the reviews said that it didn't take standard sized staging but I have measured my old ones and my widest will fit in so it should hold 15 trays.
They also have the spacesaver but I so not know how much that has been reduced by but it may be worth looking if you haven't settled on anything yet.

Hey Sanjo,

I finished securing my Norfolk one this evening, so hopefully wind will not be a worry anymore...
Have started filling it too, so all systems are go !!
