Almost the first thing that I bought when I had my first garden was a greenhouse. It was 6' x 10' and, because I didn't have a sunny enough spot in the garden, I had it on a flat roofed extension! Not recommending this as an option but there were never any slugs up there. I still have that GH, its been moved twice and is GH No 2 in my photos..........and its 40+ years old.
My point is - that GHs last a long time and are a good investment. You may need to replace some glass occasionally but not much else. Plastic covered (blowaway) GHs don't last very long so, if you can afford it, buy a glass one.
If you have a browse through the Greenhouse (GH) & Polytunnel (PT) thread at https://gardenandgossip.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=40 you'll see how some of us use our GH/PTs to grow plants. They're very useful for raising seedlings for planting outside too - as well as growing tomatoes etc.
