    All i can say is i am so glad we had spellcheck on the pooters where i used to work, can you believe i used to write letters as part of my job! Have to say all of the one "they" screened passed 100%...must have been more luck than judgement! image

    Guys, could i have your opinion please. I know ive been banging on about that greenhouse, but its really annoyed me how awful it is, they could even have put a warning with it to say it shouldnt be used in windy conditions, bit there wasnt even instructions! I dont want anything from the company, but i really feel its such a poor product, they shouldnt be selling it, do i carry on with my crusade or just leave it alone for someone else to get conned into buying it? image

    Bekkie I think some people with very sheltered gardens are fine with them if they strap them to walls / fences, so I guess they'll say it's down to judgement image

    Can you re-cycle the thing into a cold frame?

    Kef, i agree, i had lots in the past, some only cost a tenner, but this is by far the worst, the cover is now totally shredded and two of the legs have come off, its only been up 6 weeks at the most! I very firmly secured it with buckets of bricks and guide ropes, its in the south facing border and i taped the joints on the legs to help stop them coming apart, its really really terrible! image

    Bekkie, I  think you could post a 1 star customer review on the website highlighting the problems you've had & saying you don't consider it fit for purpose. That way prospective buyers have some warning.

    My 4 (5?) tier Gardman greenhouse has been doing stirling service for several years  & I'm only on my 2nd plastic cover. You do have to find a sheltered corner for it & weigh down the bottom shelf to stop it blowing over in strong winds, but I have found it an excellent cold-frame-alternative & supplement for my potting shed. Mr Mouse can still get in it and eat every last one of your pea seeds while you're on holiday though....

    I would say not suitable for purpose image Some peeps will have spent £10 with high expectations. Ten quid is ten quid and not always easy for some peeps to find. 

    Go get them Bekkie image
