Greenhouse availability!!

Can anyone recommend a website/supplier that currently has stock of greenhouses size - Width 9ft x Length 11ft
Having torn down a dilapidated brick shed in my garden I have a perfect concrete base for one, but cannot find ANYTHING in stock for the above size or even close!!
Many TIA!!

    Halls greenhouses do 8ft x 11ft.  You could perhaps cover the 'spare' 6 inches either side with gravel?

    My own greenhouse is the Hall's Supreme.  12 years old, and still looking good.  Ok, we changed the perspex curved side panels last year, but only because the original ones were looking a bit weathered.  And have only had to replace one pane of the toughened glass. ( not a greenhouse fault - Mr S flicked a stone with the lawnmower).

    If you absolutely have to have 9x11, then there are bespoke greenhouse builders out there - but be prepared to have very deep pockets!

    You're welcome, but these aren't the dearest ones on the market.  I think you'll struggle to find anything decent cheaper, unless you are lucky enough to find what you want 'on sale'.

    Good luck !

    ADD:  Polycarbonate greenhouses are a lot cheaper than glass, but they tend to be smaller sizes.  Would that be an acceptable  compromise?

    Do you do your local facebook pages or Gumtree? A lot of people buy a property and want to get rid of greenhouses.
    Getting the size might take a few months but it will be a lot cheaper as long as you can move it yourself.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
