Greenhouse Wanted
« on: December 05, 2010, 23:51 »
Help. I'm looking for a Greenhouse 8x6 for my allotment. Obviously price is an issue. I've looked at various Polycarbonate ones but all reviews say they are an absolute nightmare to erect and are flimsy if not sheltered. Does anyone here say otherwise? Is glass the better option? :(

[Glass] Heavier so it is more likely to stay in place but dearer to buy....

Your best bet might be to keep an ear to the ground and ask around - someone may be either moving or have just moved and have one that want to be rid of.

Thanks. I'll keep looking. Never realised just how expensive they are. x

I checked Friday Ads/Exchange& Mart/AdTrader and about 4 others every day for about 3-4 weeks and eventually got a 12x8 for £50. I also posted on Freegle last year and got a 8x6 for free... so it can be done!

I was going to suggest freecycle or freegle too or have you looked at Preloved?
