@ argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...REEN+HOUSE.htm came across this on argos and thought I'd share. Handy for growing weeds and thought it was a good price

good idea but its always worth looking looking on ebay as I've seen them cheaper on there

That one does seem to have a much better cover. I've had a couple of the smaller ones and the "plastic" on them always tears by the zip as they are such a tight fit. The next one I got - the sun literally melted the plastic to the poles.

I helped a friend set hers up and she ripped the plastic putting it over the frame. It seems there is no give in them and unless they are perfectly lined up when you pull the zip either up or down the stress just rips it away from the plastic.

We now use the second one without any plastic with plants/weeds in trays across the supports. The wire shelves are used on top of the turtle tanks so not all bad in the end!

Definetely a good buy. Cover is very good. I have http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...GREENHOUSE.htm Bought on sale half price last year, and it lasted through all heavy snow, winds and rain. I am very pleased with it.

I have a smaller one - 4 tier but not walk in with the same cover and I agree the covers are much better. Mines a couple of years old and is fine

I have a couple of these - great for getting these weeds growing at the start of spring!

I bought one of these 2 years ago and I have spent double what I paid for it on replacement covers as the local cats sit on it and they get huge holes in them, then they rip all the way down. Ive taken mine down now and am using cold frames untill I can afford a real greenhouse
