I was looking around an I found these two websites for anyone who wants to build a domed green house:

http://www.ozarkdome.com/index.html

http://www.solardome.co.uk/ (obviously would cost us yanks more $$ to ship it here)

I was wondering that if you found a geodesic monkey bar play set from an old playground and had the ability to cut and weld, that would make an excellent greenhouse. All you would have to do is invest in the clear plastic covering and anchor it down.

Building a greenhouse out of scrap is actually the way to go.
But if you insist on a new structure, Harbor Freight has them pretty cheap, and they are pretty sturdy. Get on their catalog list, the green houses usually go on sale from time to time, usually the cheapest they get are around the wintertime.
