Default Small lean too Greenhouses

Hello all!

New gardener unfortunatly, with no garden just a back yard and a craving to own a greenhouse!

All I have is a small space for a lean too roughly 6-7ft high and roughly 5 ft wide?

I was going to build one but as ive never owned a greenhouse before, I would be gratfull for any suggestions, Advice, Shops for cheap lean too's (and save me the hassle of building one) and just about anything you've come across that you have found usefull

Look forward to your replies

Oh, just found out I can't Private Message you Dutch...?
There's been lots of threads recently on greenhouses, do a quick search and you might find some answers...
My top tip would be acquiring for free, not buying...try www.freecycle.org

You can build your own but to be honest it's a lot of hassle when you consider your time unless you are going to build a bigun As 2sheds says try freecyle or Freebay or keep your eye on the small ads section of your local paper, If you havn't got space for a fulsize greenhouse you can always modify the frame of a 2nd hand one and it will be cheaper than building one ( plus most of the accesories will fit OK)
