I did have a great little Hexagonal Greenhouse which stood 95 × 87 × 195cm high in the corner of my vegetable patch garden. I added this at the end of the 2010 season ready for my seedlings at the beginning of 2011 season, but protected several plants over the winter including some strawberries. Unfortunately a few weeks ago the zip came away from the cover and as it was still under warranty I took it back and took the chance to upgrade :)
I now have a small walk-in greenhouse that stands 143 × 73 × 195cm high with shelves on either side and space to walk in and stand. The cover on this is more heavy duty, so hopefully this will last longer than 9 months!
Containing 5 plants, Russell_G's Walk-in Greenhouse (Back) garden is an indoor garden located in Bicester, United Kingdom.
This is a Greenhouse garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 8. It has mainly None soil and receives Partial Sun light.Photos

Hi fluffy, it’s metal frame with plastic covering with a double zip up the front to open it right up. I bought it at the end of last season on sale for £24.99 and kept my strawberry plant and other plants in it over the winter. It’s fairly light so have anchored it with a few tent pegs, but is great if you only have limited space.
I plan on filling it this season with as much as possible, peppers, toms, cucumbers and chilli’s, so we will see how much I can get in it :)

You have a great sheltered little corner there for it. I had a plastic covered small g house last year but it is so windy here even tying it down to concrete blocks couldn’t keep it in place.

Thanks seeingreen I actually erected the small fence at the end of last year to separate the normal garden from the growing area and to try and keep footballs from my boys off the veg! As it turned out the fence created the ideal corner for the greenhouse, providing both shelter from the wind and some shade. The structure is hollow metal poles, so very light indeed, so to keep it in place the bottom has been secured into the ground with several 7" tent pegs and it seems to have worked so far.
