Replacement Greenhouse
Options
I am preparing our home and garden by trying to get major works and expenses out of the way while we're still working. That way if we over run on costs we're able to work a little longer.
So far we've plans underway for the house, now looking hard at the garden. I have had a quote for some major work, and my 8 x 6 greenhouse is aluminium, has panes blown out, a grape vine is all that is holding the buckled structure up. It is beyond economical repair.
The lads doing the hard graft of felling trees/ sorting the hedging and bringing the overgrown parts back into order have offered to remove current greenhouse and if I buy the replacement they will erect it before winter.
So far so good, but I am stumped at the choice available. I'm inclined to go for a Rhino as it is attractive, claims to be robust (we live on a hill that gets gales) and easy to erect. We have a brick base which will be re-pointed before the greenhouse goes up.
Does anyone have experience of a Rhino, what alternatives should I look at- I want easy to put up, low maintenance, good ventilation and aesthetically pleasing to look at as it can be seen from the road and the garden itself.
I'm hoping that this will be last greenhouse I buy, so want it to outlast me!
