Good quality greenhouse wanted - are Rhino any good?

Revamping my garden and want to add a greenhouse. Been looking at Rhino. Are they as good as they sound? Do they run sales in the winter? I particularly want a gunmetal or black frame.

Similar question for sheds. Any decent makes to look at?

    My Rhino survived Storm Arwen with wind gusts of over 80mph. I love it

    Yup, my rhino copes with Cairngorm gales.  Excellent greenhouse.
  • Hi
    My mum bought me a Rhino greenhouse for Christmas/ birthday last year and I'm very pleased with it. I'll be honest & say that I know very little about greenhouses but my mum did some serious research before selecting Rhino.
    She is also very pleased with it and so she's ordered one too.

    Just be warned that there are lead times to get one delivered so if you want one to use in 2022 you need to order one very soon. I suspect this will be the case with other greenhouse manufacturers too.

    I’m on the West Coast, assuming Cairngorm gales are similar to ours.  Which model Rhino do you have please, everyone has poly crub or keder here, really want a rhino but VERY worried about wind damage!!

    I bought my 6X6 Rhino Premium last year, and I'm thrilled with it.

    Will say that it's worth making sure that your base is spot on before the greenhouse goes up, otherwise you'd be spoiling the ship for ha'pence of tar.  I went for a solid (concrete slabs) base, as I prefer to grow my tomatoes and chillies in large pots/use fresh compost each time.  We also used a Rhino approved fitter.

    As for being tough, Rhino export to the Falkland Islands.  I know from experience how strong the wind can be down there, and if Rhinos can withstand that they can withstand anything!
