Guy Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Nice one bigphil. I'm wondering about getting one of these 'instant' greenhouses. Do people on here think they are worth bothering with, please? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people on here think they are worth bothering with, please? GuyIt's doing the trick for me lol. Keeping my plants warm in this misrable rainy weather. And humidity not too high either. And my plants don't seem shocked by the move from inside to outside in there either [emoji6]Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James W Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Nice one bigphil. I'm wondering about getting one of these 'instant' greenhouses. Do people on here think they are worth bothering with, please? In my experience the plastic coating perishes after about a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have a couple of these i rescued from vacant properties,they are great for small plants and seedlings. Good use of limited space too,the covering will last a couple of seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would suggest you secure it somehow , they blow over very easily and that's a nightmare, I have a few and found out the hard way, I have concrete blocks on the very bottom shelve , you could do this and place your pots with seeds on top as you don't need height. Totally agree with Ada , two seasons and then cover is screwed by UV , I still think they are worth it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Agree with others - great for some sheltered space. Watch out for spare covers knocked down at the end of the season - they can often be 50% or less. If its in the sun you'll need one every couple of years as the plastic goes brittle quickly. Looks like you've got it well secured - I only ever used a few bricks and they never blew over. Edited August 17, 2017 by Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picavorus Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 They are really useful, I use several but do need to tie them to a wall with rope as they easily blow over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've got a few of these, 1 with a cover on it round the back of the GH used as a plantpot store, the rest (uncovered) are inside the GH to hopefully make better use of space. 5 shelf versions stood on the floor, 3/4 shelf ones on the staging top.

They are really handy, but the way I'm going at the minute, I might need another one [emoji28]Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndeeUK Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just be careful with the cheap ones as the shelves can bend if they have too much weight on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
