    Looks like you've thrown that up and not had a good think about it, probably need to give yourself a five minute bollocking!

    Did you instal this yourself? Seems you are missing cross braces and various parts? Did you get it fixed or start again?

      No, it was done by their recommended installer Brian Dall from Fife who refused to fix it.
      Elite Greenhouses Ltd then gave me some money to 'fix' the problem.
      We tried using flashband instead of the botched silicone on the join to the wall and sealed up the roof glazing with silicone.
      It still leaks like a sieve when the wind blows from the South. 40 to 50 mph winds here are very common and rain, well....
      The problem is with the extruded section they use joining to the wall. It is quite small and is also used to hinge the windows.
      When the rain is blown it fills up and leaks all over the place; down the inside wall and along the roof.
      There should be a gutter or something incorporated so that the water can go somewhere else or hinge the skylights separately.
      It cost me roughly £4000 fitted less £1000 refund.
      It should have been dismantled and sent back but I can't find an alternative. It looks OK although the paint has faded badly.
      I may have a solution that I will post here once fitted and tested.
      I have another Rhino greenhouse that is superb, the materials are stronger, the aluminium section throughout is a heavier gauge.

      @@mac243877 Rhino greenhouses are in a different class from Elite brand, I have one and am very pleased with it. Rhino don't make a lean to design as far as I know.
