Default greenhouses some thoughts

Janet Tweedy writes
Didn't get a greenhouse last year when I thought I might, though I did
a lot of homework and decided on a 8x12 royale from Robinson.
However I've been looking at the RHINO ones which seem quite good value
for the money and very strong. They also have the ability to section of
a part fro heating intensively which is better than trying to do a DIY
job if. Like me, you're no good at that sort of thing.
No, I can't build my own from scarp as it would taken an age and look
like something out of a condemned portfolio of architecture!

The roof of mine is getting a bit more saggy and you can see daylight
at the bottom of the wooden frames, also the top glass battens are
getting rotten. (It's a 29 year old Alton cedar 8 x 100)

Want to grow seedlings, propagate cuttings and overwinter, but don't
plan to do much growing in side apart from perhaps a tomato or two.
Trouble is Rhino don't look like they erect the thing and I had a lot
of hassle when I put this one up with a friend, so the option to get a
skilled greenhouse erector would be nice.
Any thoughts anyone? Any experience of the rhino ones versus the
robinson one?


Our Robinson (aluminium) one has an internal partition. Robinson are
alarmingly expensive, but we've had no problems with ours in the 16
years we've had it.
