Greenhouse

I moved into a house 18 months ago with a old but good 8x6 foot greenhouse this year I have had it full so could do with a bigger one. Is it possible to take the end out put another 4 foot in then put the end back or I'm I better just to buy a new one?

    Or you could buy another one, make a doorway at the "wrong end" of the original by taking out the glass and line it up with the doorway of the new one.

    Some greenhouses are extendable.
    If you can track down the manufacturer have a look on their website.
    I'm planning on a new g/h from Rhino, and I've noticed that some of theirs can have bits added.

    I made a 10x6 out of a 6x6 and a 4x6 so it is certainly possible.  Both were alu of uncertain origin but it did require some diy skills.
