B&Q Verve 6x8 Polycarbonate Greenhouse In Store - Cheap!

[alldigging]

I paid £25 for the frame and £20 for the glazing.

Fab!
I'd had a feeling someone has said £40, but inspired by him actually telling us "the stores that have some will probably just throw them away as they're the last ones..." I thought I'd say it'd been £20.

Anyway that one has found a home.
Just a frame to go now!

Cover your spare frame with netting and turn it into a fruit or brassica cage. That's what I'm doing.

...me too! I've just bought a few to link up

Our local store (Romford) had several purple glazing packs but no frames, so I didn't bother.

Chris - are the 6x4 ones you've bought for glass or for moulded polycarb (as my 6x8 is)?
I'm curious to know whether we're talking about different animals here.

I've not really got a need in the garden for it. And on the allotment I'd have to argue it's not a greenhouse - as we're only allowed one greenhouse per plot.

Polycarbonate I think. B&q brand, not verve. Old stock !

I have the b and q brand 6 x 4 and it's defianately glass needed

Do the frame instructions tell you how many panes and what sizes are needed? There are a lot of panes available on ebay. And the W- and Z-clips are pretty cheap and easy to get too.

I'll be using net over mine so have really been looking what's needs to go in it so I'd go with the glass advise above, VC!

Well I'm now the proud owner of two 8' x 6' complete polycarbonate greenhouses. I had to drive for further than was probably sensible to get them but it seemed too good a bargain to let pass.

There were 6' x 4' complete greenhouses too (in light purple boxes) but they were not reduced, it was only the 6' x 4' horticultural glass greenhouses (in orange boxes - need to buy the glass separately) that were reduced. This was the same in 2 stores I was in today.

The glass is 3mm thick according to the garden assistant I spoke to in B&Q.

If it's covered with netting then it wouldn't be a greenhouse. It would be a Brassica/Fruit cage.

I would imagine the glass ones will take 4mm twin wall polycarb.

Would be easier if it did BM

Obviously glass is the best choice if you can get it. Polycarb is more child friendly & still does the job. The only difference that I think of is safety issues..........Glass v Plastic.
