Last week on this Price Points series, we talked about wanting to get one of these sentry sheds to store our garden tools. We also mentioned another type of garden structure that we’d like to put in another part of our garden; an angular greenhouse.
When we talk about angular greenhouses, what we’re referring to are hexagonal and octagonal greenhouses. We know squares and rectangles are also angled shapes… but you know what we mean!
The footprint of the space we have in mind for it is pretty compact – no more than 6½ft in diameter – so a six or eight-sided greenhouse would work better than a more conventional shape. Here are the 3 that we found online; there’s something a little strange about two of them though.
To our (untrained) eyes, #1 and #2 look to be identical in everything but dimensions. Unusually, the larger of the pair is the cheaper one. Even though they’re being sold by what looks to be two different companies and two different websites… Robinsons appears to be a subsidiary of Greenhouse People!
