I only have room for a lean-to greenhouse of about 5 ft long x 4ft wide. I can't find anyone who makes one this size. I need to it be a standard, possibly green, frame with glass.
Can anyone suggest a supplier please?

Hello Catalpa
You could try 'Access'. They make alloy cold frames and frame-type minigreenhouses. See:
http://www.mini-greenhouse.co.uk/
They are not cheap but you are paying for quality - something that will hopefully last a lifetime. I've got a large Access frame, about 25 years old now, and its as good as new. I can still get parts for it!

Don't forget E-bay.

Good point, Tigger.
Access usually have a couple of their frames on Ebay at a starting bid quite a bit lower than their advertised prices. Lots of other frames there as well.

PS There used to be a place near Bristol that supplied all the necessary separate greenhouse sections so that you could construct your own g'house to almost any size or shape. They would even plan it all out for you. I can't find any trace of them now. I think they were called 'Alite Metals' or similar. Anyone know what happened to them? Gone out of business I suppose.
