    I'm thinking about making my own wooden framed mini greenhouse, copying the design of one I saw elsewhere costing £85! I reckon I can salvage some wood for the frame, and the double wall polycarbonate sheets should cost me around £30. Then I'll only need some silicone sealant (which I have in my DIY stocks), a few hinges and a catch.

    Of course it'll take time, which is one thing I'm short of :(

    Hello

    Thanks for all the help.

    I went to B & Q today and bought the greenhouse that SusieB and sillyvixen recommended. On the B&Q site it says that it is out of stock everywhere. I don't believe everything I'm told, so I went to have a look anyway and they had 1 left! Yay! Bargain reduced to £19.98 too.
    Hopefully I will put it up this weekend and be able to keep herbs without them getting drowned by heavy rain

    Does anyone know of any sales on very small greenhouses ?

    I have looked everywhere I can think of and found nothing.
    Kindness costs nothing :)

  • We bought one on eBay - a 12 x 8', for £147 (similar RRP £600). Had to drive to collect and dismantle (5 hours later...:eek: ) but a bargain all the same. (the spare panes of glass we needed we got from Freecycle) I have since found some on Freecycle being offered, for free obviously!
