My inlaws want a greenhouse. Any recommendations for places to get them from (online or in the real world!), deals and so on?

I think it'll only be a relatively small affair, 6x8 or something? Poss octagonal or something like that. or rectangular. who knows?

Over to y'all!

    i got mine from focus DIY. I shopped around at the time, and got a 6x8 with horticultural glass. I had to get the thing home myself, it cost 150. At the time, there were not many available for under 300.

    Octagonal will greatly increase the price.
