This is my tiny interim greenhouse. Space is a major problem. Plus it lies in the sun from 7 am until 4 pm. It is an area of the garden where summer temperatures above 40C are not abnormal. The temperature in the greenhouse / garden house is hard to control. That is why I want to build a new one on the other side of the garden... I don't expect I get the time in the next three years or so.
Not a very good picture , just took on iPad but you get the idea 8 X 6 , on a a slope , stream then fields behind , still bubble rapped for winter , will tidy up next month when we intend to sew seeds
Have been really pleased with it , would have liked a bigger one but this fitted in nicely
Something to think about is shading , some people white wash glass , personally i bought some green stuff that fixes in side against glass and only covers roof to about half way down sides , it works for me , obviously depends on position with the sun , happy growing
v jealous got a pathetic little 3 shelf zip up one which i must learn to call a coldframe, zip broke after 5 mins, to be fair it was under £10 and all my overwintered seedlings/ baby plants ( stocks sweet williams campanula, sweet peas) have been fine

Flumpy1 A moving in party is good but a building party is much better

GWRS it looks extremely organised. Can we have pictures from the inside when the seeds and plants are in full growth?
I finished greenhouse took a bit longer than I thought but also that snow took a couple of days of me , but very happy with it .
Jason , looking good

Mine is a red cedar one with an attached shed. I don't use it as much as I should! Hazard of a full time job and being disorganised...
