Norfolk budget greenhouse?

Hey :)

Does any one have one? How are they? I understand they are a pain to put up but once it's up how is it? I'm a bit worried about the PVC sticky stuff. Is it ok, and taught once it's up?

I'm seriously considering one. I like to put things up so quite happy at self assembly!

TIA :)

    i have a lean to norfolk, glass is fine, really difficult to assemble the only problem i have is with the door everything else is ok. They are far cheaper than other greenhouses so worth the niggles you may encounter:T:rotfl:

    I've been looking at those. I like the fact that you can upgrade it with the glazing panels at a later date but the reviews about the assembly have put me off. You'd think that they'd sort out the instructions with everybody that reviews it on various sites saying that the instructions are really bad.

    Hi, I have a norfolk and yes it was a real pain to put up, but it has been well worth the effort, its been a boon this summer. Mine has the rigid polycarb panels not the stretch pvc cover though.

    Cheers everyone. I plumped for one and they called me today to make sure I understood what the greenhouse was like and they seem really nice. From what I have heard, all greenhouses are a nightmare to put up so I am quite happy.

    Says they are going at about a week to two weeks for delivery at the mo which is great and if you put in a code from a magazine your order gets treated as priority.

    Can't wait to get it now! Looking forward to it! :D
