    I did see these but she likes to be inside the greenhouse, especially if it's raining!

    This smaller one at Argos is smaller than I would want for myself but big enough for a 10 year old to mess about in.

    I saw a walk-in plastic greenhouse at Wilkinsons last week - I think they were about £29:confused: . It was like this but half the depth (looks the same as in post 12). Wilkinsons also sells the replacement covers for these and the four tier ones (the latter were priced at £5.99 but came up at £3.99 at the till). HTH.

    I have just had a look at them online and I think the main difference is the quality of the cover. The Argos ones have a green mesh type cover which is quite hard wearing and from experience are normally more hard wearing the than the clear ones. After saying that, this is still a great price for the Wilkinson ones. I have been checking the site quite often and didn't see these before so I guess they have only just come into stock.

    Thanks for the update. ;)

    Were the replacement covers for the larger sizes or just the tiered ones?

    Both as far as I can remember but obviously the walk-in ones would have been more expensive.

    Ta.

    I have just had another look at the pictures of the walk in ones and they do look like the covers have a mesh running through which is even better.

    Now then, were can I put another big walk in greenhouse in our garden!

    :rolleyes:

    I think I may get the bigger one now that I have seen these at this price.

    Thanks BillieBoy.

    we got replacement covers for ours from homebase.The original covers were just plain plastic pvc and lasted about 3 years(left up all winter through snow etc).The new ones are just the same size but with the mesh reinforcement.

    Were they for the large greenhouses culpepper and if so how much were they please?

    I did try Homebase last year as that is where I bought my original greenhouse from but they said they didn't do them anymore, I think I may have been fobbed off by someone who didn't know what the eck I was on about!

    :rolleyes:

    I had seen these but I don't think they lookn as good to be honest, plus the pictures are terrible, you can't really see what they look like.
