I have an 8 by 6 Aluminium framed which in season is never ever big enough

Go for the biggest you can afford or fit into your space but i dont think
theres much to choose between a DIY store Aluminium frame or a posh
expensive one via a gradening magazine
The end result plant wise will be the same

I suspect you've never seen the more expensive ones irl, to compare
them. They have a far stronger construction frame than cheap ones from a
DIY store (and often better glazing and ventilating systems, better door
access etc). Frame-strength and glazing method are particularly
important in exposed areas.

There are always loads of greenhouses for sale.
My neighbour June and I bought three 10 x 6 garden centre standard
glasshouses at an average of £60 each, including staging and automatic
vents, plus a 10 x 8 Halls. The Halls is a much better quality job but the
glass is expensive to replace because the panes are bigger than the normal 2
x 2. (But it is the only one that hubby didn't need to raise on brick walls
to avoid banging his head!)
June has two of the 10 x 6 houses joined end to end, which gives her walk
through with a door at each end.
Buy (or make) the biggest you can - you will still end up wishing you had
more space!
Incidently, ours have suspended wooden floors with gaps to allow water to go
through.
Our neighbour has concrete floors which get very slimy with algae by the end
of the season.

In that case then, I have two.
A 10 X 8 and a 12 X 8.

My mother also has a 12 X 8
