That's brilliant MOS, do you think it would stand up to the winds on an allotment?

It's only my opinion of course , but I think it would be ok if you siliconed the panels in.

It looks lovely (and probably a very good buy). As well as the silicone I think I would consider some additional anchorage as it is bound to be so much lighter than a glass glazed greenhouse.

Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

Best to read all of the reviews, one person mentions putting it in a sheltered spot.

There has to be some sort of quality compromise at that price - as ANHBUC has pointed out the reviews suggest it might fail in very exposed locations, although as MoS says I guess that siliconing the panels in would help to stabilise it provided it was properly secured to the ground too.

Instructions sound like the pretty standard head-scratching afterthought for this sort of item!  ::)  :lol:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Stick trellis around it or even a fence panel or three... to add a shelter belt?  :unsure:

It's normal at this time of year - open the door or window a little, for a few hours, on every non freezing day. Difficult I know if you're at work all day.............
