Good size for the money, I like polycarbonate even though light levels are a bit lower. Looks as though there is not enough ventilation (with door closed) - would be worth including the louvre vent option.
-
I think you may be right there :)
-
That's a nice one Aggy, but would polycarbonate hold up to your winds up there?????
-
yep, great size for the money, but as grannie says, would it become a large kite?
-
Well, he who knows (or thinks he does) everything reckons it should be ok. :? :? :wink:
-
good site looks like some good bargains to be found, I am looking for a shed! been adviced to get a small one 6x4 one problem no one will deliver of the internet because allotments don't have post codes. any solution to this?

EH i dont get it
Mr FRUGAL himself should never part with that sort of money on something like that.. I am sure a polly tunnel using scaffy poles and gas pipe would werk out loads cheaper. You must have won the lotto
mmmmmmmmm :?:

Nice one, Aggy. To be sure it doesn't double as a kite, figure some way to bolt guy wires to each corner and pegged solidly into the ground (like with tents). Bet Mr Frugal could figure that one out easily -some rusty wire, a few great lumps of broken concrete :lol: :lol:
-
Give them the postcode of the nearest house to the entrance. (Only works if there is one of course)

my dad had a smaller poly gh recently, until the high winds a couple of months ago, and when that happened all of his neighbours had bits of his gh too :roll:
Looks like a good one, but they are very light and you'd need to make sure it was properly anchored into the ground (perhaps dig the base in as much as poss and lay a concrete floor on the inside) and also you need to protect against the frame twisting in a high wind otherwise those polycarb panels would just fly out.
IMHO glass is better because it's heavier. Couldn't you get a gh frame and glaze it with acrylic windows? the acrylic is more expensive than glass though but it would be heavier than the polycarb one, would let more light in and has the benefit of being unbreakable by local youfs and the wind :D

How far away do you live from your lottie?
I'm having a greenhouse delivered. They're coming to my house and then following me to the lottie which is about 5-10 mmins away.

Glass certainly would have been better and probably twice the price too! Going to have to think carefully as to where we site it and perhaps put some kind of barrier up to dissipate the wind. :)
