recommended companys.

Thanks Keith,UK.


Try B&Q!!
They do an alloy fromed one with either glass or polly windows, or
alternatively they do an all plastic one. they may not have it in stock but
can order larger than thay have...
If you look closely at various adverts you'll see that the alloy greenhouse
is the same as several others claim to produce, but cheaper at the Big
orange Block and Quale shed.

The Q





Are the polycarbonate greenhouses any good though? Any benefits apart
from unbreakable?

Two west's and elliott have some, quite large ones too but into the 1200
pounds mark

But also has a much lower transmission, so you get less heat in the first
place.
Good in winter but less efficient in the growing season.
One benefit - when we have a scorcher you'll need less shading!

Surely though in the growing period ( spring /summer enough heat will be
generated anyway.I will be growing orchids in one,and another for general
use.

"..... But also has a much lower transmission, so you get less heat in the
first place ......."

Well .........horticultural glass has a light transition of around 90%
whilst triple walled poly carb has a transition of 84%. this is normally
compensated for by having less glazing bars and other structure as there is
so much more strength in the polycarb sheeting also it if far lighter than
glass.
