    I have an existing 8' x 12' so have a few things ready to move over in 8.5-litre AutoPots:

    Heritage Melon - Petit Gris de Rennes
    Heirloom Tomato - Pink Tiger
    Cucumber
    Peppers

    Plus loads of Iris seeds and passiflora to plant etc., but food production wise will be more next year.

    Cheers, will make sure pictures are taken. Professional installer is booked in for the installation, one day to erect and one day to glaze, all being well it will be completed by the end of the month.

    Some raised beds opposite the base for the greenhouse. There is a smaller raised bed still to be built at the end (far left if standing in front of the beds) and possibly a narrow long raised bed behind. 1st raised bed filled with 1080 litres of compost and 200 litres of composted FYM, and some concentrated FYM mixed in for good measure.

    Gutters and downpipes are standard features. We have two Titan RS700GN RainStores each with a capacity of 700-l.

    I'll be interested to see how you get on with it and how it stands up to severe weather...I'm longing for a greenhouse again but have an extremely exposed garden/field
    It is meant to compete with the rhino premium (we have a 8' x 12') so if it's build quality is equal there should be no problem with the severe weather we get in the UK - we live in an exposed location also.
