Greenhouse Deals & Offers

Most gro shops do these for a quid or 2

(highfive)

I know I need these, but for the life of me, I can't quite work out why. But they are £1 off.... Oh go on then.

Something else that I didn't know existed and can't work out how they work - how does it grip the rope that well? A lot more expensive than ratchet straps - which also give a huge amount of mechanical advantage. Slinging that coil of whatever in that way looks decidedly suspect, to me. I'm more familiar with things like these: Which, if they have a snap-hook pulley at least have a 2:1 mechanical advantage. Not as cheap though, admittedly.

I was thinking that too especially when I read the name of it as GROPE :D

A large mini green house? I'm so confused.

Is this good for a grow? Does it keep smell locked in? (popcorn)

The clear plastic is the only risk because it gets increasingly brittle in the sunlight but we've had one for years. Once the plastic is dead the frame makes a decent enough set of outdoor/shed shelves. These things are far better than a proper greenhouse if you're not settled in a house for life and aren't too worried about the looks.

Totally agree. My dad has one which has lasted 5 years. Bricks is defo a recommendation if you don't want it to fly away!

Before anyone says it…. Yes they do last if you take care of them. Mine is 7 years old, the tubes have a bit of rust and one wheel is cracked where I dragged but it still does the job not splits in the greenhouse part. And yes if it gets windy either pin to your fence or put a few bricks / filled pot in the bottom

I got one just the same for £30 in b&m

Don’t buy them I have bought several over the years and they don’t last not even one summer

These plastic covers are a micro plastic nightmare.

Hard one to gauge really. Look on AMZ at similar products and the reviews are all over the place. People are morons and often don't put it together right, don't weigh it down, or in the case of one I found on AMZ the other day, complaining that it collapsed when they basically tried to store bags of compost on the upper shelves!

I'm always seeing free glass greenhouses on marketplace. But you have to move it yourself. Wonder if that's a hard job (embarrassed)

The 8x6 aluminium greenhouse I got off my new neighbour is at least 20 years old and survived without a scratch. The best place to look is gumtree, many people with small kids who move into a new house with a greenhouse give them away

I did consider an Outsunny greenhouse but some of the reviews put me off. They look good but are not apparently the sturdiest of greenhouses. Perhaps I will stick with my decades old aluminium greenhouse which is showing its age but has survived all that the UK weather can throw at it.

I think I might have the same Wilko one. Have been really impressed. Not the prettiest but certainly functional.

Same here. can recommend the poly ones.Mine is a full walk in and survived all storms and winter.The back is attached to 2 fence posts with the strings it came with.Bought mine from Wilko.

My advice is to take the measurements for this greenhouse and reinforce it with a wooden frame and then staple the cover to it. The frame that comes with this is the first to get trashed by persistent gusts wind.

Good spray booth :) Indoor spraying

I have the larger version and it's better than I expected. Yes it won't last forever but it has survived everything that the weather has thrown at it up to now. I have weighted it down inside and also attached the external ropes. It hasn't budged throw several strong storms.

frost and hot sun will do this in the end... You'll maybe get a few growing seasons out of it before it needs replaced.

These are absolure garbage, dont expect more than a season out of it (thats how long mine lasted) you would be better off buying somthing more robust and buying once, rather than one of these every year.

This looks very nice but a bit too expensive for my taste

How does this compare to similar mini green houses at ALDI?

£120. World's going mad (lol)

Yup got one for £59 last year and almost lost the cover in the storm last week ... was running down the garden aftet it as the wind took it !!!

You can buy a lot of wonky carrots for £120.
