    ... I've got to try and fix my plastic greenhouse .. blown over and damaged in the winds...

    You need to make sure it will be able to stand up to any gales in the future. We often get very windy weather in March.

    I've assembled it again, but it's useless. All the plastic has torn away from the zip parts. I zip it up, and there's still a huge gap at the front either side.  Think I'll look for something new, bit more durable. Do they do mini glass houses? image

    Becks you may be able to get a replacement plastic cover- they are often sold at CG etc.

    I spotted a relatively small- 4'x4' ish- metal famed, powder coated, polycarbonate grenhouse last year at a GC. If funds permit it would be a stronger option for you, give you more space too. Would still need firmly securing to a wall/concrete fence post though as they can also 'walk'.

    Try e-bay/freecycle for any dismantled ones too. Snag then will need more assembly. J.

    Meant to say- you can get wooden plant houses, at a cost!! Still smallish, needs the wood treating otherwise it warps/rots all too soon & also firmly securing to a wall.

    Off to put thermals on now & go do battle, along with daughter, with the slipped greenhouse roof panels. Then the shed awaits. J.

    Cheers jo!! Never even though about replacing the cover! Duh! image The frame is ok. Can't do the ebay/freecycle bit yet, as no car to collect. image

    Can you remember the price of the one you spotted at the garden centre?

    These greenhouse covers might be typical...

    Kingfisher is the name for B&Q.

    38 customer reviews for this one. Gardman is a range of products commonly sold in GCs....

    But you still need to make sure the whole thing is well secured.

    They were exactly what I was just looking at Bjay! Nice site, and price. Thankyou!

    I'll have to have a look through Gary. Mine is a flat top, not that 'roof' shape, like those two. image
