I am after a small greenhouse to keep my plants in over the winter. The garden is relatively sheltered from the wind so will one of the small walk in greenhouses be ok for me? I have added a link.

Thanks for the reply.

I've got the very same, although I got it from Wilko's.

I find it good although you do quickly run out of room as a previous member said, also it's a little cramped for tall Sarracenia. If I had the money and room then I'd buy a bigger glasshouse (but who wouldn't).

I've gone for a 5 tier PVC greenhouse. Should be ok for the time being. Did like the walk in but wanted shelves accross the back as well and couldn't find any that fitted.

Ooooh, yes good price, I got all excited when I saw that,
then down the bottom ",,currently out of stock and we are not sure when,," boohoo :( would have fitted one of my beds perfect !

Anyone know if it is available anywhere else, or is it a Greenfingers special ?

I have seen similar things in local GCs but they have green plastic with coarse mesh in them, look like quite a bit of obscuring of precious sunlight !
