next step up from plastic greenhouse?

moneymabel

At the moment i have two four tier plastic blowaway greenhouses on the decking which are ok but I would like a 'proper' greenhouse. I havent got a massive garden by any means so wont/cant have a big greenhouse. I would like one i can actually walk into though and glass/hard plastic instead of thin plastic. It will be up against a fence on one side so will be quite protected. Can anyone recommend a small greenhouse at a reasonable price?

I got my first polycarb greenhouse last year - the make was Gardman and I'm really pleased with it. It was about £289 or thereabouts and came with a base. I'd recommend extra clips for the panels though.

There seems to be a deal on at the minute too.....

That looks fab! Just collecting details at the mo as have to wait for OH to build the fence first but that looks perfect Thanks!

Mine backs onto a fence but you would still need it anchored down somehow just in case!

I picked up some staging in B&M for about £8 each (4 shelf) - there is enough room for 4, 2 on each side and also put in one of their 4 tier mini greenhouses at the back to give plenty of shelf space.

Thinking about buying my first greenhouse also. Norfolk Greenhouses seem to have a good choice and good prices. Cant give url, first post for me! Found them in the Grow It magazine.:)

we have a shed from norfolk greenhouses and it is fantastic quality for the price. I wouldn`t hesitate to get a greenhouse from them. You may need help to assemble it

Thankyou! will check them out as well :-) OrangeKing-when you say anchored down how did you do that?

moneymabel

just had a look at the Norfolk ultimate houses and they look good but dont come with bases like the gardman one does. Is this because it doesnt need one or do you have to purchase seperately? cant see them on the site anywhere. What have you all got your greenhouse stood on?

Well the greenhouse came with pins that were supposed to be concreted in but I took the cheats approach and got some bungee ropes and hooked them over the greenhouse and onto some bags of stones! I placed mine on the patio and couldn't be bothered with all the drilling and so on!

Before I did this the greenhouse shifted one very stormy afternoon last summer but hasn't budged since.
