    Hi gaz. You may be lucky and get an offer on here. Meanwhile, have you posted a request on your local freecycle? I know in our local area, a couple have been given away. Other than that, try your local newspaper or ad mag, as there are usually second hand greenhouses at very good prices.

    Remember though, that anyone giving away/selling second hand greenhouses will probably expect you to dismantle it, and you will more than likely need to buy new fixings and clips, and possibly new glass for any that are broken.

    Don't let this put you off though, as I'm sure you will find a bargain, and will save a packet load rather than buying new. Best of luck in finding one!

    Also, If you are willing to spend, say around 50 quid, then admags and local papers are the way to go, but I would stick at trying to get hold of one for free for now.

    The one thing I will say is that at this time of year, It is harder to get hold of them as many people will have got the same Idea as you, thus beating off the competition will be your biggest challenge! Far easier for example, in the middle of winter.

    Having said that, there will certainly be some in your local area, so dont give up. :dbgrtmb:
