Money is tight but our son is after a greenhouse for his birthday, as this seems to be a far better hobby than a playstation I'm keen to encourage him. Where can I get a cheap green house? not after anything fancy and one of the polythene covered 6x4 types would be more than adequate but they seem to go for silly money on ebay.. have been looking thru the local classifieds for one I could dismantle and move but there's nothing locally and times running out.

a desperate parent.

thanks

If that is still above your budget, freecycle occasionally has greenhouses to collect, but not often and usually will need some repairs or replacement parts.

Flexible plastic greenhouses don't come up secondhand very often because, frankly, they don't last long enough! They start with the three or four shelf type at around twenty quid, to small walk-in ones at around fifty quid. Expect a couple of years use before the plastic needs replacing. I'd only go this route if you're not sure this hobby will last, otherwise shell out a little extra cash for something more robust.

Have you tried FreeCycle?
This is a web page for people to recycle stuff like green houses, Its free! I have seen greenhouses on there in the past(Normally free to collector).
