Title: Second hand greenhouse wanted
Post by: janiejakemum on April 28, 2009, 15:59

Hi

I am looking for a second hand greenhouse, i live in Essex (near Basildon) ideally a 4 x 8 although the length isnt that important it cant be any wider than 4 foot.

Any ideas where i can find such things for sale?

I dont get a local paper so the only place i can think of is on a board in a Supermarket.

New ones are just too expensive for me at the moment so it would have to be second.

TIA

I bought two off eBay, good prices, but I waited a long time to find one at right price / reasonable travel distance.  Freecycle more likely to have one in your area I think.

I did a search on eBay, fine tuned it carefully to limit irrelevant "hits", and then used "Save search" - which then emails any (well, the first 9 per day I think) matches daily

I think really my problem is the width, it can only be 4 foot wide which obviously isnt the common size.  My hubby said he'd build me one out of wood and pvc but i still think it'll work out quite expensive, i have spent a lot of time searching the net but havent found anything yet.
