Usually called a wooden mini greenhouse, or sometimes growhouse.  Put the word wooden in your search and you will get mainly similar products.  Leave it out and you will get more of the alternative types made from other materials.

Yes, B&Q have something similar

If the wooden frame is still ok why not buy a sheet of plastic and replace the panels. That's easily done...

At first sight I thought it was a meat safe.  (From a bygone era, just like me).
Cheers,  Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

That's about the right price - we bought one for a daught some years ago, so you're doing the right thing!

I have just got to find a way of heating it now, just about a  temperature to keep the plants dormant, but not frozen
(I dont think it will ever get cold enough to freeze the plants in there)
But enough warmth to give them a headstart in the spring

Any cheap suggestions ?
