I have one bought from Norfolk Greenhouses.(prices are about the same when you include delivery) and it has been great
I grow tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, chillies and cucumbers in mine...but they are all started off indoors on the window ledge, cos it is too expensive to keep a  greenhouse frost free nowadays

This time of year you can use bubble rap inside to give your green house some extra insulation.  However in summer the main problem is trying to keep a green house cool and not let it get over hot.

It will be interesting to see how well those blown-plastic panes hold up to winds Veggies.
Quite thin aren't they? ... And while they may stand a gust or two from the outside, I particularly wonder how well they'll do when a door or window is open and it gets a little gusty.
That said, your spring onions and such can go outside happily enough, and lettuce too soon. Keep the greenhouse for your toms, cucumbers, or aubergines and similar, less hardy plants.
Good luck with it all.

The site im on gets a bit of wind and any plastic sheets in greenhouses just get blown out,one side of my roof had plastic sheets in and they went never to be seen again,the rest were glass and the odd one has blown out over the years but not too many.

saw a show Greenhouse in B&Q today fitted with polycarbonate Windows.  They looked thicker than others I have seen.  Looked very good if you have a fear of get broken windows.  As for blown away with wind, should be easy to use a bit of fruit netting over them.
