greenhouses some thoughts
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? -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Robinson are alarmingly expensive, but we've had no problems with ours in the 16 years we've had it. -- Kay |

Well the 8 x 12 isn't TOO expensive if it's going to last. Mine's only 8 x 10 and I have always wished for more room -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Duncan Priced up the partition (extra £400) and the extra door (200) scribbled them out of the order and put in update to automatic side vent(15) instead -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
