Thanks for all your comments and ideas,i have decided that i will only keep plants that i have grown from seed or cuttings etc and not buy any more, i came back from the national with no plants which was very difficult but with loads of seed from the MSG as i have a likeing for growing lithops now which will probably be more appropriate for my greenhouse,unfortunately i have about 20 packets of fero seed ,still it should be afew years before they outgrow their space.
Thanks again
Bruce

Re: My new greenhouse
Having to have a rethink myself. Was hoping to move my 6x8 and add a 17x12 or there abouts. Now the wife has sussed out the space it would take from her garden and put a block on in! I'm now desperately trying to fit in a 10x8 next to the original one but its gonna be tough fitting it in.

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!

Re: My new greenhouse
Another one for Lithops, great! 
It's a lovely space. Small is beautiful! The best things come in small packages. It's quality, not quantity. Smaller ones are more juicy. Etc.

Tending more towards cacti, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Re: My new greenhouse
very nice, i'm not that good with wood 
i was thinking of getting 2 of these and putting a shelf above on top of some hanging basket brackets 
for the 6 x 6 that i'm building

i'm planning to use them in an L shape with an open bed on the other side

Re: My new greenhouse
Looks a nice bit of kit hob but for the price of one of them you would easily get enough material for all your staging needs and its really not difficult just some screws a drill and a screwdriver and a lot of satisfaction.(if it turns out alright);)
