I got mine in B&M for almost the same price. They have them in their spring/summer stock

B&M ?

I don't think the Wilko ones are as good quality personally, I had one from there and it was rather short lived last year & its listed at £15 making the Webb one a fiver cheaper !

Yeah it's a shop a bit like home bargains. I got a walk in one for £20 and it was very good quality but you do need to weight any of these down or else they will be running across your garden!

My Wilkinson one is coming into it's 3rd year now, still with the orginal plastic, so £15 well spent in my opinion.

There's also Poundstretcher, they had them last year for £10

I'll take a look, I'm using mine more as staging, well that is the plan anyhow !

Actually I hadn't thought about that! I now have a normal greenhouse and could do with some more staging! Good idea OP thanks

Can I add a word of advice to anybody who buys one of these?

DON'T get one unless you can anchor it firmly to a shed or house wall. They are incredibly vulnerable to being blown over by even light gusts of winds. The first year I had one, mine was blown over on a windy day and I lost nearly all my seedlings on all four shelves.

Some people have solved this problem by putting heavy paving slabs on the bottom shelf. We have drilled hook bolts into our house wall, two thirds of the way up the height of the greenhouse and have put a long strong nylon luggage strap (from Halfords) through the bolts and around the whole structure. This allows us to open the front zip flap with comparative freedom and it has kept our little greenhouse secure in some very heavy winds.

Also look for a model where the wire shelves are split into two, rather than being a single shelf, so that one side of the shelf can be removed if necessary. This will be very useful if you are growing taller plants like tomatoes or peppers which can grow higher than the space between shelves before it's warm enough to leave them permanently outdoors.

this is the problem I had with the wilko one, I have another which I use as storage for tools etc near the veg beds and it stays put just fine, but I thinbk it is anchored by the grass now !
