My plastic green house was from wilkinsons, its a clear one and i keep my heavy plant pots in the bottom, i'm growing my curly kale in it at the moment, they are doing well, wilkinsons also sell the plastic covers seperatley hey are ??4.00
I bought wilko's last year but must've been unlucky, it tore immediately & buckled under the weight! I find the plastic greenhouses are cheap and cheerful, but pretty much have to buy a new one each year.
I am a big fan of them to because it's perfect for my tiny garden. They do seem to protect any seedlings from late frosts but I do cover them with fleece too, just in case on very cold nights. The only negatives that I can think of, other than making sure it's secure, is that slugs and snails like going in and the plant soil can go moudly if the door isn't opened every day as they do get humid. Oh - and my cat likes to sleep on the top shelf!
Loony Gardener, sorry you will have to ignore my question marks, i keep pressing pound sign on my phone, but when i semd my msge it comes out as question marks! Loopy phone, thinking of getting a tablet instead so i can take photo's easier
always look out for ones that are being offered for free ,as the frames are normally good and you just have to re-place an odd pane if that and you have to add your own flooring anyway ,so that can be easy but look on those free sites or around your area, you will be surprised at what you can get. Plastic green houses are no good .

Enjoy growing
Hello blightymam, I have a cat too, I guess I'll have to save some shelf space for her then
Thank you for your input everyone! I've zipped up the greenhouse for the night, will check how the plants are tomorrow first thing
The one I have now is a gardman mini polytunnel. The old one was a walk in greenhouse from lidl, but the same as the aldi photo.
they are a waste of money and time buy the real thing it lasts longer looks nicer .
