I was offered a secondhand 3 year old
6x4 Norfolk Ultimate greenhouse, a
paraffin heater, 3 gallons of paraffin & 2
solar vents 1 installed 1 still in it's box for £20 naturally I accepted, although in my mind I was paying for the accessories rather than the greenhouse which having seen the quality of the glazing I wouldn't reccommend to anyone.
Many profanities later it has been dismantled moved & reassembled, it's on a raised wooden base made out of 120 year old oak roof beams which I grabbed when someone I knew had their roof replaced giving me approximately an additional 2' of height & a bit of shading at the bottom. I have used the original plastic glazing so it can be utilised straight away but given how flimsy the glazing panels are (had to use silicon to stop them blowing out constantly) & the pros & cons of plastic vs glass I would prefer to glaze it with glass in the long run.
Has anyone ever replaced the glazing in a norfolk greenhouse with glass, is the frame up to it? I don't want to buy a load of glass just to find that as the frame is designed for lightweight plastic glazing it's not strong enough to support it.
