I’m looking to buy a small aluminium grow house and have come across this website vivendi-direct.co.uk they seem very competitive. However, I’ve never heard of them and can’t find out much about them. Does anybody know if this is a genuine trustworthy company or a fraudulent site. Any alternative recommendations would also be gratefully received. Thanks

    Is a grow house a greenhouse?

    Regardless, the website does not inspire confidence. No address, sketchy details of delivery, no returns policy... non secure website, not sure if payment is on site or not but :eek:

    I wouldn't buy anything from them, frankly!

    Ah, grow houses are poly covered mini greenhouses. Their prices aren't good, better quality at Amazon, loads available Aldi/Lidl in spring....


    Mind you, a wooden potting shed/summer house at £1.09!!!!

    I’ve been looking around their website too, clearly rip off merchants. Their prices are ridiculous.

    Apparently they have 677 of the £1.09 potting sheds, i’m going buy them all and resell them at a profit. Ha Ha!!!!

    Don't waste your time with sites like that. Just go to a specialist independant who knows what they're talking about. I got my little 4ft x 4ft greenhouse from Greenhouse Stores. They also installed it for me, easy!
    You'll find me in the garden. In the shed. In my greenhouses. Or maybe the local hostelry!
