Greenhouse options

I have an 8x6 Gardman polycarb. I wanted polycarb due to having kids around as its much safer than glass. Now i wouldn't have anything else. Its flexible and durable. Never had an issue with the panels or anything else, i suspect that has more to do with bad assembly.

BTW my neighbour has done loads of GH as he is a carpenter by trade and does odd jobs etc as well and he reckons it is a pain putting any GH together and he has had problems with expensive ones and cheapies lol.

If I had money to burn I would have a rhino GH ready assembled lol.
Whatever you decide good luck

Yes, putting one together is a concern. Looks as if I will have to do some serious thinking, particularly how far I can stretch the budget.

Many thanks to all of you for taking the time to offer your advice.

I've been having the same thoughts. I've looked at the Norfolk ones a few times but in the pictures it looks as if there is glass / plastic on the roof and nothing around the sides. Is that the case (I can't imagine it being but confused by their pics!)

Hi Ema_o
The roof panels on the Norfolk are twinwall and the sides are like Glass clear plastic panels all panels are screwed into the frame.

My Norfolk Polycarb Went together quite easily except for i think we mixed up the front and back or used the wrong pieces and we couldn't and still can't fix the sliding window at the rear but a few strips of gaffa tape Job done Instant window fix. :eek:

I recently got a GH from ebay.Can't remember the name but it cost £300and was self assembly.My husband is a reasonable man, calm I would say.I have never heard such language come out of his mouth before.I think he made some of the words up:rotfl:Trust me don't buy a self assembly greenhouse it turns the air blue:D

All in the fun of putting it up and sitting back when finished admiring what you have achieved ..

The norfolk greenhouses are like giant mecanno kits the instructions are a bit vague .. Just take your time and not to rush ...

I just picked this one up on ebay for £150 .. had to shorten it from 10 1/2 ft to 7 1/2 ft basicaly take 1 section out .. i have also change the glass roof to polycarbonate for £50 so in all £200
