I just love the idea of a lean-to.....we have a perfect spot on our northern boundary OK, but unfortunately only a timber fence there. You've got me thinking now.....I wonder is a block wall and a lean-to a cheaper option than a normal greenhouse???....I also think it sounds stronger in the face of strong winds...would you agree?
Gracious me, you've really stirred things up now...in fact it's the best idea I've been given, thank you so much. Even more exciting than a HTB!

Hello,

Has anyone experience of buying and erecting a lean to glasshouse large enough to work in but for a hobbyist rather than commercial grower?

Many Thanks,

John O'Dowd
