      Like most of us, I bet as soon as you get it up and running you wished you had a bigger one.:smile:
      Sounds like a bargain although horticultural grade glass is not cheap.
      Yes, some pics when its up:blue thumb:

      Just found a company in stockport who do greenhouse glass for £2.95 for a 2'x2' piece of 3mm glass, bargain. so including clips, my greenhouse should cost me less than £50.

        That's very good. I remember when I got a free greenhouse from a friend, it needed a few new panes so I went to a local glass company without first getting a price, I thought it would only be a few quid so didn't bother asking, I was quite shocked as they charged me about £60 for 5 panes. Taught me a lesson to always ring around first.
