Title: Big greenhouse for sale
Post by: sellickbhoy on March 13, 2009, 09:45:21 am
I'm looking for a new greenhouse and have been scouring ebay

think this one might be a little too big for my needs, but thought i'd pass it on anyway

That's a greenhouse and a half !
You could live in half of it and still have room for growing ! (Shhh, don't tell the planners  ;))

it would actually fit quite nicely right down one side of my garden - but my garden is on a slope and i don't fancy digging out a level base for it!!!


it's not even that far away from me for me to go and collect.

I'm tempted!!!

you could modify it and have two or maybe three seperate greenhouses if you split it into sections and can source or have the skills to make the ends! that way you wouldnt have to level off such a large chunk you could have smaller patches!  ;D

Now thats a greenhouse. I love proper greenhouses- we used to have 5 acres of greenhouses when I was little. You get such a lovely smell in a proper greenhouse. I have the same thing about greengrocers- a proper one will smell right.

We very nearly bought one of those from a closing down nursery in Kirkcaldy a few years back. Good we didn't! The following March we had the worst storm ever, which would have left us with a few hundred pounds worth of broken glass...It's just a bit too windy here for a lovely thing like that, a polytunnel will have to do :&>
