Galvanised steel ones from Feel Good UK, or grow ur own as they appear on ebay. Great after sales service when we had problems with the cover. Also quick delivery. If you ordered today you would have it by Wednesday!

     As ghost61 says,make sure your get the 25 mm frame and not the 19mm white powder coated one,as the 25mm is far stronger and is less likely to break or bend .

Have your thought about a second hand greenhouse instead?or is this perhaps for an allotment where glass not permitted?

25mm frame 4m x2m polytunnel is about £140 I think, I bought my 12' x 10' (3.6M x 3M) greenhouse for £200 (off eBay).  Its old, and thus made of very sturdy glazing bars (compared to the cheaper greenhouses of today)

Required transport and some DIY skills though ...

One of the chaps down the site got his via the ebay shop site for £95 including delivery. At this time of year they can be discounted by the sellers, so worth a look. Get the galvanised steel only, as mentioned before.
