Default Growhouses

I've been thinking of investing in a growhouse for my veggies, to keep them out of any bad weather yet to come etc and was wondering if anyone else has one and can tell me if it's any use?

I've got my eye on a four tier from B&Q for only £18!

If you get a growhouse, make sure that the shelves are removable, as then you can grown cucumbers and tomatoes in it, as I'm doing. I've got 2, but the one where the shelves aren't removable is not nearly as useful.
