I have a slightly older model of this space saver greenhouse, from Norfolk Greenhouses. I got it 12 years ago and it's still as sound and sturdy as the day I assembled it. You have to have a suitable wall to fix it to, of course (it's just four brackets) but it's big enough for everything I've ever needed to grow. I've modified it very slightly so that the shelves run right across the doorway and I can't walk into it so there's a fair bit of space.

Norfolk Greenhouses have a lot of different budget greenhouses. They're all fairly basic but the company has been around a very long time and have a good reputation for what they do. They do two levels of quality...the really cheap ones are "glazed" with flexibleplastic sheeting and are less durable than the ones glazed with solid polycarbonate sheets. Mine is the second sort...I chose it because I had small boys running around the garden but it's been a good buy. Now the kids are a wee bit older I do regret a little that I didn't buy a double sized one but not enough to replace it just yet. Anyway, the site is worth a look.

sounds what we are looking for could you tell me what the postage is plz many thanks

Well, it was 12 years ago I bought it so (a) I don't remember and (b) postage has probably gone up since then, lol. But in the interests of science I went and pretend-ordered one on the Norfolk site and the postage comes up at £15 for this item.

If I was buying another one btw I'd probably fork out for the Space Saver Shelving Kit as well, for an extra £10. Looks most useful.

I got mine from B&q and just bought the frame, i wanted to make it stronger by getting polycarbonate similar to conservatories have so in the end i never saved much.
But i know someone who saved quite a bit when he bought just the frame and got the glass free. We have a place up the road which does double glazing they have a skip outside full of the old windows and doors they've removed from peoples houses and he just went in and asked and was to told to take as much as he wanted. So a couple of pieces at a time he did the job.
Have you got any DG shops by you.

we have a norfolk shed and it is wonderful, we wouldn`t hesitate to buy norfolk again. However we did buy a polycarbonate one from two wests and elliot, quite a decent size with a cold frame on top and complete with removable shelving. We have used it a lot already and now have 4 tomatoes in it and put a shelf in in the evening so we can shelter a couple of large aubergine plants
