new greenhouse
« on: December 17, 2012, 21:54 »
Christmas is nearly here and with 4 kids oldest being 14 its been an expensive Christmas.

but i have managed to save a bit extra for a greenhouse, not got a massive budget and only want a little one as my back garden is not very big

maybe i will go for one roughly 6 by 4 foot... budget is 300 not a lot i know but what could i get for that

also is there anythng to avoid....should i also go for tough glass as i have kids ?

thanks

I bought mine (a Halls) from www.primrose.co.uk. Very happy with service and the greenhouse itself.

I would go for toughened glass if at all possible. Polycarbonate is great for strength, but is just so light and flexible it has a tendancy to blow out/away in high winds.
