Thanks for design info, very clever with the sliding door concept. I should think I should be alright...DH has built a wooden shed big enough for 2 cars but was for storing junk and two big metal hangers, all built to very high standard, no cowboy jobbies. So I ought to get something out of him!!!

It just goes to show how it makes sense to use materials that are already available around the house...get the good recycling habit going. I checked the price of acrylic sheet, they're a bit too dear and we have nothing spare here from the window glazing. DH strongly insists on horticultural plastic on cost, then he can design a super-dooper plastic greenhouse.
If things go my way with successful tomato growing, I might post a picture next year...I'm sure Snadger would love to see the piccies (only if the tomatoes are red, green ones don't qualify as success
).
