New greenhouse

There seem to be several makes available (Halls, Robinsons, Eden, Elite, etc) which all seem to be very similar. Any recommendations or things to avoid from experience? Plenty of roof vents, double doors and internal bracing are all good things, generally found in the bigger houses, I have 4 Halls magnum 8x14's and have never had a problem, they survived the 87 storm and all those since without losing a single pane of glass! Something that is often forgotten is that roof vents are ineffectual without floor vents - or at least enough leakage! I have seen people remove panes at the bottom for that reason. We have a south-facing conservatory and the roof vent area is 15% of the floor area, but we have five 20x20 cm floor vents, and it does NOT get to be like a blast furnace when we are out and the sun shines. Yes, it gets hot. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
