Default Help! Is this a good GH?

I have an opportunity to purchase a 'cheap' GH.
Juliana MU4 Lean-to
It looks a bit small, I am concern about large temperature fluctuations in winter and summer due to its size.
The other issue is ventilation. I am not sure if there will be enough space for a fan(s)?
Your comments would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
Buds!

I depends on the price you can get it for .
It is not very big, controling the temperatures in small greenhouses is harder , Also it did not look like it had any roof vents . No green house is ever big enough Gin

It looks kind of small...and this obsession of ours does not usually stay small or reduce itself. I'd think about waiting until I could get one that will accomodate what's coming up

Thanks Gin & Susanne,
I think I have to agree with both of you.
Sometimes it is hard to let go of a good $ deal- sale price is approx. 75% off.
I will wait and save up for a proper GH and do it right the first time .
I dream about GHs....
The obsession continues!

It would be the pits to move your existing plants in it and find out no room for more ... Gin

Yeah, it's better to wait and buy something large enough. I'm in a similar position with obtaining an 8 x 15 this summer because I couldn't pass up the deal and I already wish I had more room. It would actually be easier to manage. I knew that when I got it but didn't think I'd ever get a deal like the one I got again.

Why not buy 2 of them and connect them together!!! you would have a 8'6" X 12'8 floor. that wouldn't be too bad.
