    We have an Alton 'dutch' style greenhouse which is 15'7 x 10' and has been unaffected by the 70mph+ winds we've had in the last couple of days....

    8ft by 6ft need. Am looking at Robinson Regent and baby Rhino as 2 best as far as I am aware, but they do come at a price of 1200 to 1300 pounds in green. Anyone know the difference between these 2 greenhouses?

    WOW goldenlay thats pricey, I have just completed my greenhouse using a 8x6 gardenshed/potting shed nearly new for 30 pounds, then attached 3x2 wood framework 2 foot from the ground. Then screwed 12 foot double glazed units to framework making a 20x8 overall size.(units reclaimed free of charge) I used 3x2 framework for the roof and screwed corragated clear plastic sheets to it.6 at 6 quid each (b&q) finished off by using some reclaimed hard wood 2 foot lenghts under windows and old engine oil to weather proof. Very sturdy job looks very rustic and all windows open. overall cost 80 pounds tops.
