Title: Lean to greenhouse help / 6x3 size anywhere?
Post by: dougens on January 25, 2021, 20:59

Hello

I have a space in my garden and I want to fit a lean to Greenhouse.

My area available and best suited is 6x3ft.

I cannot find one anywhere....can anyone help?

I can find 6x2 but no 6x3.  6x2 will look silly in my space.

I have looked at bespoke companies and they don't seem to do anything this small, just massive jobs.

Any help / advice  with this greatly appreciated

Many thanks

You might have to consider a wooden one, Dougens, like this: -

There's one in aluminium, but not exactly a lean-to though...

Try Googling 'images', (if you haven't already, of course), because a quick shufti shows several pics at a time, including the sizes! The difference of just one ft would make a big difference, as you could at least get inside!

Wooden ones tend to be more expensive of course...

Thanks Hasbeans & Growster for these links.

I don't want to get a wooden one and really wanted something like this but in  3x6

I just don't think they exist.  I will call the sellers and see if they do.

I did see a 3x6 but the door is on the short side and needs to be on the long side!! Typical  :D

I'll keep looking

Thanks Jezza I'll give them a call.

I called a few shops today and the response was that as the window pane sizes are in 2foor increments then there are no odd number depth lean to/greenhouse.  Or at least they are very rare.
