Noticed in my "B" catalogue today a raised garden bed with GH cover over the top, there were no dimensions on it and I have not been to check em out yet. Two thoughts;
1 if its roughly 1mx1m square then the GH top half would fit straight over the top of an IBC GB.
2 if the raised garden bed part is water tight or could be made water tight easily you have ready made GBs with GH covers.

Has anyone seen these in store?

They are on page 14of16 on the far right hand side with team member "rosie" standing next to it.

not bad a price if you could use them as a GB without too much work. From the looks of the pic they are just gal framing and colourbond sheets. Am I right?

As with most things like that, I don't think they would be too great... I've seen those Birdy galv growbeds and they are seriously crap, you have to screw lots of small bits of corrugated iron together.

Anyone know where to buy the green house plastic?

I have just used plastic that I had lying around. The big GB is covered in a big sheet of clear plastic similar density to black plastic you use for garden bed lining. The smaller one is covered with the big plastic bags that I get plumbing supplies in from my supplier. They are quite heavy duty bags. I just split them down one side and across the bottom and you have about a 1.5x1m sheet of plastic. They would not be long lasting due to UV but since I get heaps of em each week I don;t really care plus these covers will come down again once the weather heats up.
