    They aren't bad provided you can put them in a very sheltered spot and don't expect them to last more than 2 years. Any of the bad storms we've had in the last few years would have them away in no time. You can roll the door right up so you can ventilate them quite well. Also a good idea to take them down completely in the winter.

    imo the ones about a water that size that go against a wall are a better option as they can be made to stay put better. Good for raising seedlings early then put away for the worst of the winter.

    I was hoping to grow tomatoes and peppers
    Maybe I'll just abandon the idea

    They'll do that OK, just take them down at the end of the growing season.

    Also if you look around you may find one with a sightly stronger frame that you can get new covers for.

    Simples! ; If they say UK only, use Parcel Motel, if they say mainland UK only and not N.I., use Addresspal.

    If it's anything like the plastic greenhouse I got from Lidl a few years ago it's not all that big. I don't know about Addresspal, but Parcel Motel do handle oversize parcels. You pay an additional charge and pick them up from their warehouse.

    I've sourced 6 6x3 windows and a handy friend to make a green house for me

    @python
    You may get tomatoes to grow inside a greenhouse but peppers,they are very sensitive and take much longer to grow...
    Also,you will need to insulate it well against pests while making sure air flow / ventilation are done properly.

    Enjoy it...
