Could you make do with a couple of plastic ones this year? You're more likely to get a second hand one later on.

build one out of plastic bottles, the local school has one and it looks great. Will be my next project when my greenhouse gives up.
If your buying i wouldn't recommend the polycarbonate ones, ours is already cracking and splitting and i've only had it 18mths.

Can you negotiate a "stay of execution" until Autumn? This is probably the most expensive time of the year to buy a new one (together with Spring). If you can wait until end of the growing season, you'll probably get a real bargain.

thanks for all your help have looked at ebay think i will wait a while and see if they are cheaper in the autumn the old one can not be used this season as the main beams are rotted so i will grow seedlings in the conservatory and then plant out this year

This is helpful info. I want to buy a greenhouse, but can wait until the cheapest time of the year. (In other news, I was hopeful that this was Spring! Still a few weeks to go, I suppose.)

I have just bought a greenhouse and the one I was looking at was the same price everywhere I looked but some had free delivery and some had not. Another thing to look out for is that you can buy staging and shelves as extra in a bundle and the savings can be quite big compared to buying it separately. Just something to look out for.
