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.
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
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.
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 !

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

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

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