What type of shed?

Dear all,

I hope you don’t mind me posting, but I was hoping a keen gardener may be able to help identify exactly what type of greenhouse we have - brand / model.

Attached are some photos.

Unfortunately neither myself or my partner are particularly green fingered so we are planning on finding a new home for this shed. Any suggestions as to where would be best to list this shed for sale would be greatly appreciated - perhaps there’s someone on this forum that may be interested!

    What a Shame you don't want it. Very difficult to tell what make/model from a photo. Have you checked all over the door and windows? If it was a free standing model,or without the dwarf brick wall,it would be easy,to find new home. I've done this and in free section of local paper, Freecycle or similar,they have to dismantle and remove. That would be difficult with the dwarf wall. Do you have any allotments near you,local garden club you could find online. These things cost thousands and I am jealous!

    My hubby (who was horrified you don't want it) said use it as a chill out zone, summer house,extra room.

    That's a lovely greenhouse and it looks as if it's in good condition, but dismantling and rebuilding the brick section would be quite a task. Are you sure you don't want to keep it? Lots of people discover that they like gardening after they've moved into a new house with a garden, and you could grow a few tomatoes, chillies etc in there in the summer.

    Or just see it as a conservatory ... another place to sit and read or whatever, out of the wind and rain and away from the bustle of the household.

    Hello guys, Yes, we’ve toyed with the idea of keeping it and who knows maybe we will. Currently houses a 20+ year old grape vine so could be interesting whether we could continue to keep that alive!

    I would keep it for now and see if you can grow things you like to eat like chillies or basil

    I think, going by the logo on the door, that it may be a Robinson one like the one in the photo. It's a beauty  :)
    Please don't be too hasty in getting rid of it.

    Many of us would give our eye teeth for such a thing. :)
