What's the site like? Exposed and windy or sheltered? On an allotment or in a garden? Children about?
All that will help us to offer better suggestions.

I have a greenhouse at home.  I wouldn't have one at the allotment where I have a polytunnel instead - it is cheaper to have a large polytunnel than a large greenhouse and a polytunnel is less susceptible to vandalism of thrown stones etc.

If you are going to have a greenhouse in a location untroubled by vandalism and where you are happy to invest, I would thoroughly recommend a Rhino greenhouse.  We have an exposed northern garden but our Rhino has been fabulous and has repelled all storm over the last 2 years.  Very strong and sturdy.

I can second the rhino greenhouse, mine has been fab & suffered no damage when we suffered a horrendous hail storm a few years ago in the area...it wrote lots of cars off, mine included,broke windows & smashed doors.

No Children (only the ones that walk past my house)
It will be on a hard standing one side will be next to a brick shed and the other side will be next to a wall and metal fence that sits on the wall.

Not all that windy and like a said its next to a wall and a shed that will give it some protection

Well I'm very pleased with my Eden Burford 6x10 - the extra high eaves means a lot more usable space than many cheaper houses being one major benefit.
