I give up. No - one more attempt.

Well... I have now changed it to a norfolk greenhouse and it's brill I really like it and it is really big. Well worth the eighty quid it cost!

Ours came with guy ropes too!

It came from B&M and was 19.99.

We're really pleased with it!

Mine too, bought mine about 2 months ago and I can't see anything for the foliage in there now. Got three market-more cucumber plants, two tomato plants, traffic light pepper pot and some lettuce.

I swapped mine with one of these very happy with it

Hehe this is all very familiar :rotfl:

Ours blew over in a storm, OH was horrified...he rushed all his precious plants inside and laid them out in the kitchen for emergency surgery, it was about half ten and I was about to go to bed but had to spend to next 45 mins tending to injured plants!

They are great in the winter if you run out of fridge space though, my mam had the turkey in hers last xmas

I took the cover off mine for that very reason.

I took the cover off mine as well.
Then i bought a proper greenhouse and put the 'blowaway' one inside to use as a trestle.

I had two of the walk in kind. They came with skewer type anchors and the covers had ties in the bottom to tie them to the tubular frames and some loops on the outside to tie them down with tent pegs and thin chord.
I had them skewered all around on the bottom with one skewer angled outwards and the next,inwards(by twisting the tubular frame to get the holes in the right position). They stood steadily for about 4 or 5 years.
We had the original covers on for 3 years before they were too damaged but the newer covers were different with a sort of mesh incorporated and lasted only one season.
Eventually we bought a polycarbonate paned greenhouse with a proper aluminium frame which has been steady as a rock for the first year it has been in the garden. That, we concreted in at the corners of the base, then concreted the pegs in that go in between the corners and used silicone on the polycarbonate to hold the panes securely as well as the greenhouse glazing clips it came with.

Well I have cleared a bit of ground (dug out two old shrubs:eek:) ready for a mini walk-in

Well I done it!
Arrived today and now put together and looking good.
Mind you I think I could have done with an extra bod to help. If only to push from the other side to make sure the sections are firmly together.

May have to go over it again, but right now I am shattered (well could think of a more accurate description but the site probably wouldn't let me:))

Will report back when it is filled.

This one is definitely better quality than the mini I had to dump. Thicker metal tubes, better plastic connectors and the mesh and polythene cover feels much more robust.

I had one a lot like that. Not from that shop, but it looked the same, and it was a bit more expensive.

It was terrible. Lovely for the first year, then the glue started to fail and it started falling apart. It ended up covered in metal plates holding it together, and in the end we scrapped it as too shabby to freecycle. What a waste of money.

Hey Funkymonkey - forgot about the storage at christmas. They are great for thast ours doubled up as beer and wine storage last year and this year i'm cooking chrimbo meal so will do for turkey etc. - fab.

Funkymonkey - a good idea for extra cold storage at Christmas but we have very cunning foxes round here and I bet the one that visits us regularly at night to feed on any scraps we put out for him would LOVE the idea of a whole bird in a mini greenhouse. He would sniff it out in a couple of seconds and no doubt the plastic cover would get shredded to bits in the process. However beer and wine storage seems a good idea.
