We saw the ad on a billboard while driving in to Laval, some time ago. A plastic-covered greenhouse about 6 square metres, for €50. I was looking for a greenhouse, so why not give it a try?
The frame is made from steel tubes that are held together with plastic connectors, of different shapes for the different types of junction. I put it up in Springtime, near the veg patch. We had a gale. The greenhouse was trashed. Although the cover didn't blow away (I had tied it to a tree), most of the plastic connectors had bent, broken, or come undone. They were unuseable.
Anita found a replacement set on the interweb, cost €35, nearly what I paid for the whole greenhouse, but given the situation, it seemed like a sensible buy. I needed a greenhouse, had a cover and some steel rods for a frame, so we bought them.
I put the greenhouse up again yesterday, in what I hope is a more sheltered part of the garden. I have tied it to the ground again, just in case. If this doesn't work, I'll have to go for a plan 'B'.
Your new arrangement seems promising :-)
