    I'd be concerned about turning it into attractive overwintering accommodation for every mouse and rat in the neighbourhood.

        You don't have to do the whole of the greenhouse. You can cover one end and take it down the sides as far as you wish. Then make a curtain across the greenhouse in two overlapping sections. That will work as a doorway where you will just lift the overlap and walk in. :dbgrtmb:

        Joolz, you will need the large bubble. It has much better insulation properties.:dbgrtmb:

          Sorry, but you can forget about the chillies unless you are going to heat the place :(. They're not happy below 60F and extremely unhappy below 55F.
