    Greenhouses - What to get, what not to get

    Good morning everyone,

    After 4 years I am back as I am finally moving to a house which has a garden big enough to let me enjoy all that they can offer again

    I was hoping that someone may be able to assist me in the hunt for a greenhouse, there seem to be so many variations today that I am not sure which are the best to buy, and hopefully there will be people here who have tried and tested some and can suggest one that they feel is a good all rounder.

    Thanks

    I treated myself to a Rhino Harvest from Greenhouses Direct. Not the cheapest but great value for money, flawless and very sturdy indeed. I couldn't be happier with it. If you wanted to see them in the flesh their showsite is about an hour from you.

    Many years back in my first proper garden I had a Hall's. This did the job but you get what you pay for. If you do go for a low-end one, make sure you get extra ventilation and pay for auto-opening vents, otherwise I guarantee you will forget them one day and cook your plants.

      Ive got an old Halls greenhouse (glass) but this year I bought a rion (Rion Greenhouses. UK Delivery. Rion Greenhouses Range) 6 x 6 twin wall polycarbonate.
      Its very sturdy, but not cheap.
      I was late getting it erected but the toms have caught up and never looked better.

        It depends on your budget and circumstances.

        As a special gift my OH surprised me with a toughened glass Rhino. My garden is in a windy spot and also attracts kids with football etc and it really is fabulous, stones just bounce of it!

        I also have an old greenhouse with horti glass that I was given, this I have to repair every spring. After the winds this year more than 10 panes were smashed.
        It costs me £30 and a mornings work to replace them though if I was a bit more of a DIYer I could silicone them in!

        But they both do the same job just one is more sturdy than the other!
        Personally I'd go for the biggest I could afford...

          I don't want to be spending silly money but budget isn't too much of an issue, the main problem I am finding is that at 6'4, finding one tall enough is a pain, and with neck issues anyway, bending over all the time is a no no.

            Look at Rhino then - I'm not sure on the measurements are of mine but it's much taller than most GH I've seen or you could simply lay a couple of courses of bricks / breeze blocks to give you extra head room...you would just have to make a ramp to go in and out.
