Greenhouse recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good quality greenhouse, or company?

We are looking at a 8 x 8 or 10 x 8 with glass to the bottom (no dwarf wall) and would like a good quality, sturdy one that will last.

We've got a Rhino premium, 8x10, and it's fantastic, very well built and looks gorgeous for a lot less money than others we looked at. Our neighbours have greenhouse envy (seriously!).

We're waiting for a Halls, but their delivery service has been a nightmare - it was due end of May and now they are saying it will be September due to issues with the supply of some parts. But even if I cancel it I doubt any others will be much quicker.

If the budget had allowed then I would have had a rhino or a timber framed one.

After much research, we bought an 8x10 cedar one from Alton. We chose one with double sliding doors, so the wheelbarrow could get in. Also, it has automatic air vents.
They sent a rep to make sure where we were going to site it was suitable and to advise us on the base required. They erected it with speed and no fuss, we’ve been very happy with it and so have the plants!

I got a Simplicity Stafford 5x8 greenhouse in Old Cottage Green From the greenhouse people and I’ve been really impressed delivery was great and I love the greenhouse!

Yes, double doors and auto vents are worth having.

Great thanks everyone.

We definitely like the Rhino premium and its in our budget (which is £2000 which we are expecting back as a refund on our missed summer holiday!).

It comes with auto vents, so now for essential accessories. Ive got..

Double doors
2 levels staging one side
12 Seed tray and holder and potting stand the other side (and we will grow tomatoes in grobags that side too)

Any comments on those and additional must haves?

A stool to sit at when you sow and pot on. A plastic potting tray ( probably has an official name )that keeps all the compost tidy in one place.
A bucket for rubbish!
