    It's the price of the staging that's surprising me. Do people recommend the built in stuff?

    If an old lady like myself can make my own staging, anyone can. And it is so cheap to do though I would recommend treated timber to stop it from rotting.

    I bought a really cheap wooden shelving unit on offer in a DIY place and made staging out of it and treated it.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Wow, thanks everyone for your greenhouse comments.  Haven't had much time of late to check back here and it was a lovely surprise to find so many new replies.  I have my base in place now so just need to decided what on the greenhouse.  All the above will be invaluable in my decision.  Thanks everyone  image

    Do the greenhouses need to be cleaned or is that an optional choice? I never thought that a greenhouse frame would be a breeding ground for bacteria. image

    HeIIo,

    If anyone is interested in buying a secondhand Rhino Greenhouse that is in mint condition ~only 3 years old~ do let me know.

    http://www.greenhousesdirect.co.uk/Greenhouses/Rhino/Harvest 6ft/6x10/

    It`s 6x10 feet, green powdered frame, toughened glass, 4 single roof vents with temperature controlled automatic openers, 2 louvre vents, gutters with downpipes etc. I have two young children and now it sadly sits unused.

    Must be collected from West london.

  • If only someone made an attractive aluminium greenhouse that came with the option of an integrated shed, I am going to be buying a wooden one instead to replace the tatty small aluminium one that came with my house when I bought it!

  • Steve, there used to be a model made by palram that I once saw in a B+Q store that had a little polycarbonate shed on the back of it. It looked a little flimsy to be honest but would've done the job in a sheltered spot. The best one I've seen was at a garden centre, a wooden one. I think it was in the region of 6ft x 14ft in all and it was a solid bit of kit. It's on here, Swallow Wooden Greenhouses and was called a Kingfisher. It had a door in the greenhouse and then another door in the back, about 4ft deep in all with a little window on the side. If I had the dough spare, I'd be buying one for next year, but alas I don't !

  • I've bought a rhino premium 8 x16  and in a word its awesome !!!! Jobs/done
