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!

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.
