Sent don't you build it instead? Our 12'x16' greenhouse cost us less to build than two of those tiny ones would cost unless you're getting them practically free...
Greenhouses anyone?

I've been wanting one for years... I would like to run my 15x50 spring/fall garden in the winter. So I guess that would be more a high tunnel than a green house wouldn't it?

The frame I have waiting to be put up is the high tunnel type.
I ordered this today. Supposed to be here December 5. It will go on the screened porch where I can plug in grow lights and a small electric heater when needed. It is for starting seeds. I always have trays of seedlings in the "garden" tub, on the table, anywhere I can put them. This will be much better then having them scattered all over the house.
If I built a frame of wood, it would be more permanent and I don't want a permanent structure. I can take this one down and put it back in the box until I need it again.

That looks great for seed starting. I build a indoor seed table. It's basically 3 shelves that holds 4 trays each. Each shelf has four 4' florescent lights mixed warm and cool white colors for a full spectrum of light.

We downsized from a 2500 square foot brick home to a 1500 square foot double wide. There isn't anywhere "inside" to put a seed table. So this tower thing ought to do the trick and I can put it on the porch.

One of my husband's buddies is a carpenter so we made a deal with him last year (barter and trade, not cash!) to build this greenhouse for us:

We changed the orientation of the roof panels to allow for better rain runoff and added a door and shelves. It's working great!
