    Surprised you've had no replies, Scotkat! My guess would be that it would be best to buy online having done a Google search for suppliers. I put in "Greenhouse suppliers" and found loads. If you know exactly what size you're looking for, maybe type in, say, "10'x 8' greenhouse" and see what you get!

    Good hunting! Let us know if you find what you want - especially if it's a bargain! (If you can wait, there may be some good prices at the end of the summer - though you can't guarantee it....)

    When I bought my greenhouse 2 years ago, I was aware of the advice 'get a bigger one than you think you'll need' but mine is still too small, so I'd say get as big a green house as you can find room for.
    Then decide whether you want to spend a lot of money or just go for the most basic. I bought a Robinsons' one for over �£1000, but from what I have read here since I would have done just as well with a cheap one costing less than a quarter of that. Also to be considered is whether you can erect it yourself. I had to pay someone to do mine, and that cost a lot too.
    If you have the money then cedar ones are beautiful, but the cheap aluminium framed and plastic 'glassed' ones seem to do the job.
    Last bit of advice- spend as much as you can on ventilation and shelves etc so that you make full use of the space you get..
    Good luck!
