Can anyone recomend a good gate to go across my Double Greenhouse doors to stop my grandchildren going in and taking all the plastic plant labels out of the pots they were in, and trying to pick tomato plants because they think its flowers for granny.:(

    I think you are going to have to go through the long method of:
    1. Teaching them not to go in
    2. Get them interested in gardening i.e. giving them a pot of their own to grow something in as they are less likely to pick things.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    My husband made a wooden frame with wire mesh stretched across and stapeled on to fit between the two doors, then fixed a bungee cord thingy with a hook at either end to keep the doors tight against it. Keeps the grandchildren and dogs out.

    My 3yr old Grandaughter well (2 & a Half) has informed me now that she doesn't love me anymore :cry: :think: because I stopped her going in to the greenhouse and she threw her pot and compost on the floor now i assume I am out of her will. So youre to blame olly300 ;) so I reckon you owe me a Gas barbeque as compensation.
