Hi Jamie,
Sounds great, Rhino are great greenhouses but those huge panes of glass are worrying when you move them about.
I'd be interested to see the fitting instructions for the blinds I purchased 2 but lost the instructions so they are still sitting in the shed :mad:

I keep you posted I looked at Hercules much the same same glass size from memory phoned rhino and got colour extra no change and free blinds and most of staging but probably won’t use it.I have it booked by local dealer for October due to my back pain so costing £400 but worth it.

I will be doing two west probably it’s best

Don't forget when talking to two wests to ask for discount, I got 10% easily, Wonder why two wests don't advertise in the journal.
£400 isn't bad I was labourer and moving those lengths of glass was scary especially the roof sections.

The guys who put my greenhouse up used Veribor suction cups for handling greenhouse glass, and recommended then to me for if / when I need to replace a broken pane.
