Free: Greenhouse (7.5'x5.5') (Hitchin, SG5) Expired In good condition, I am looking to re-home my existing greenhouse. Size is 7.5'x5.5'. All bar one of the panes of glass are intact. I have spare glass I can supply, if you are happy to get it cut to size. Initially I painted the aluminum frame white, and parts of this are now flaking off. A good scrub with a wire brush would probably get it off though. Lucky recipient would need to bring tools to dismantle and collect the greenhouse. I would like it collected as soon as possible, as I need the space for my new (bigger) greenhouse. I will be choosing based on good feedback scores.
