From what I've seen a lot of greenhouses are very modular...two end

6ft x 8ft are quite common and can go for around £50....so would there
be any problem in simply sawing this in half to make 6ft x 4ft?....all
I would do is saw the long rails in half and drill new fixing holes. I
would also lose two of the middle 2ft sections. Seems simple enough.
You cant just cut out the middle 2ft as most (Mine is a Halls(6x8 25
years old £30) are not square all the walls tilt inwards. and the door
is usall yon the 8ft side. The glass in mine is all differant shapes
and sizes.
Well most of the panels in ours are the standard 2 foot module width.
Not all have tilted walls, our 6x8 doesn't (though our 12 x 8 does)
Door on the 8 foot side? surely not - normally on the end which is the
shorter dimension
however, the OP's idea would leave a very oddly arranged greenhouse as
the door would be on the end originally - now the long side - which
would be a bit odd.
I think looking around for a cheaper 6x4 is a more sensible option.
