I love my Rhino greenhouse. It survived storms Arwen, Malik and Eunice in the NE of Scotland when trees were falling down left, right and centre and trampolines and greenhouses were flying around

As above, we live in a very windy area and my Rhino stood solid and their aftersales support is brilliant too.

Thanks for that - have just decided to replace my old greenhouse with a Rhino.  Received the catalogue and have decided on the model and extras, just chewing over the colour choice now.

My current one is from the Greenhouse People, and I would go back to them if my budget didn't stretch to a Rhino.  (Correction - his budget, it's my wedding anniversary present!) 

Where did you get catalogue?
can you buy direct from Rhino ?

Googled Rhino direct and ordered on line.  Came very quickly, along with proper colour swatches.

Will need to arrange for the old greenhouse to be taken down and a proper solid base laid before delivery.  Will be ringing them tomorrow to start the ball rolling, which will include being given the name(s) of their local approved fitters - who, in turn, we are hoping may be able to recommend someone to lay the base.

Intend to offer the (12 years) old greenhouse for free on our local info website.  Taker to dismantle and remove.  While it seems to be in good condition, with sound toughened glass throughout, obviously can't guarantee that it will come down without any damage.  Hence 'free' so we won't have to haggle if any of the glass breaks.

Just hope that we don't have the same drama as when we offered our old shed last year!  Offer stressed that it was free, subject to taker arranging transportation, but the first 'offer' was from a lady who wanted it for a playhouse for her children and who thought that being a single mum entitled her to demand that we dismantle, transport, and re-erect it in her garden.  From the way she banged on, I was surprised that she didn't demand that we paint it pink!

UPDATE.

Just spoke to a lovely, very helpful, lady from Rhino greenhouses.  Order placed for April, which gives us time to get the base sorted.

Joyful

I too bought from Rhino. After paying several hundred for another make that fell apart in the wind, I decided that Rhino's 25 year guarantee was better.

Didn't realise, until I read the brochure, that Rhino export to the Falkland Islands.  

Been there, experienced the 135mph winds.......  If Rhino greenhouses can withstand that, they can withstand anything the UK can throw at them!

UPDATE.

Old greenhouse has gone to its new home.  Collected yesterday by an RAF chap and his wife, so nice that it's still in the family.

Hardest part, as expected, was getting someone to do the (solid) base.  Of the first two people we asked for quotes, one didn't bother getting back to us, and the other obviously didn't want to do such a small job so they used the old trick of quoting such a stupid amount we would be bound to say no.  Nearly £2K for a 6 X 6 greenhouse base.

However, as you do, I asked my hairdresser if she knew of anyone, and she gave me the name of a chap she had been at school with.  Nice guy, £600.

All falling into place now, am SO looking forward to my new Rhino!

UPDATE.

New Rhino is up and running, and am SO pleased with it.  Looks good, and feels much sturdier than my old greenhouse.

Went for the full length shelving on one side, which gives ample work room plus space for seed trays and plants, while my potted tomato and chilli plants will be placed on the floor on the other side (when the nights are a bit warmer).

If anyone is still looking for a greenhouse, and your budget runs to it, go for a Rhino.  Customer services, delivery and fitting were just perfection.
