Many thanks for the replies.

Collectively, you've answered all the questions and a few more I'd
thought of
since posting.

I can squeeze in a 8x6 which should be plenty big enough.
I'll definitely avoid horticultural glass and maybe go for polycarbonate
as I've
read somewhere else you can seal the panels with silicon sealant
to stop them
moving too much.
Yes to bubble wrap.
Yes to auto vent and louvre window.

Off to find one that fits the bill (at the right price too of course)
:-)

Thanks again

That's the first thing you learn as a greenhouse owner - whatever size
you
thought of was not big enough ;-)

Mine is 16 x 10 and I'm struggling - especially in autumn when all the
tender
things have come in for the winter but the tomatoes and peppers
are still
fruiting, and in spring when the seed trays are multiplying
but all the tender
things haven't yet gone outside.

I agree with Kay, whatever size you think will do, double it :-)
