Hi

I dont want to buy a greenhouse for this year, but am prepared to buy one when they are in the "Sales",

My question is, are there greenhouse sales?

And when do they start?

And Where?

Thanks

There's a sale on here, but I don't think you can beat Ebay for prices

I got mine from the local paper, there are loads so I waited until I found just the right one. Cost me £30. I had to dismantle it but this was good as I took photos and stuck labels on so it was easy to reassemble. Took me a day and a half. I had to replace 9 squares of glass and a few clips so that was an extra £15.

They don't rust so it looks like new.

Yeah...the slabs were already there, and roughly level so I just drilled through and bolted it straight to them.

Thinking about this makes me laugh.I had a greenhouse from free cycle.The guy had partially put it up but pulled his hair out and gave up.

I kept it mostly together to ease the pain of re assembling, only to find out he had put the 4 end corners somehow on the roof.

Mind you it did take me 2 days to find out myself.

With mine, it took three people, each with a degree, to work out how the window fits. :rolleyes:

We've had a Norfolk greenhouse for 5 years now, 6x8 size.
Took a weekend to build, including clearing turf and loose-laying slabs. Would have taken less than a day, but we had to break because of rain. Oh, there were 2 of us with 3 degrees between us

The Norfolk Greenhouses, have terrible instructions (they also supply Tescos and other stores) The construction is poor Aluminium and strong winds just blow out the perspex panes, I know because I wasted £110 on one, spent 3 weeks trying to put it together, and after the first storm it blew to pieces.

I am saving my pennies for a good wood one now.

Why don't you run a bead of 'no more nails' on the inside frame and glue the windows in place:D

Well guess what??

I now have a green house, well it has just taken 2 of us 3 hours to take it apart, and transport it home.

It is filthy, but it is all there, needs 5 new glass panels.

Just got to get up now and re assemble and clean it!! :rotfl:

Photo later when it looks good, but I could be gone some time :rotfl:
