Greenhouse Recoomendations?

[roberthu]

So I am in the process of remodeling the back yard and plan to add a greenhouse about 10 x 12. Does anyone have any recommendations as to material or brand/vendor?

For a couple of years now I have been considering buying a greenhouse. The regular mid-winter warm spells followed by returns to freezing conditions, along with the roller coaster temperature swings has convinced me that I either have to have a way to get my trees through the winter without doing the bonsai shuffle or leave the hobby. Then I saw the Yardistry greenhouses being sold widely in the US through Costco.
