Not heard of that greenhouse, John the site owner had problems with his new greenhouse in windy Wales. I bought a 10x8 rhino greenhouse, I was impressed by their advertising of how strong it was. I've had it about 5 years now & am very pleased with it, it was one of the tallest that I looked at,even though I'm short, I was thinking of the plants😊. It came as standard with toughened glass & 3 openers on either side of the roof & 2 sets of lovers in the walls. Not cheap but a really good product, & no I have no connections to them.

I have an 8 x 6 rion twin wall poly carb. Its a lot more sturdy than you think. I got mine after seeing one down on our lottie site and listening to man who owned it talking about it.
They are not cheap, needs putting up in the right order and i found getting the roof on was very hard.
But i prefer it to my glass greenhouse as its always that bit warmer.

Hi
Well in the end after looking at different types of greenhouse we went for a Rhino 8x12,no they are not cheap but the weight of it and the build quality is excellent,because it is very windy where we live the green house had to be heavy and strong it weighs 400kg when it is up,so i don't think it will move,having the base done this week .i look forward very much to putting it to good use.

I hope you have as much pleasure in yours as I do in mine, 8 X 12 is a good size, plenty to keep you busy. We've just had to redo the base on mine as it sank into the ground,it now sits on slabs cut in half & concreted into the ground. So ensure you're base  is really solid as it was a major issue to take all the glass out then move the frame to get to the base,looks fab again though now. What colour are you having,mines green,but they do more colours now.

Hi snowdrops
Sorry i forgot to say what colour,we went for aliminium in the end as the cost for a coloured finish was extra,so that money has gone towards the base instead.Lillileaf

I think all of them are great. I went for green as although a good size my garden is short so I wanted it to blend in, which I feel it does,I used to have a 6x8 aluminium in the old garden, but that was a Halls,many moons ago now.
