Greenhouse glazing advice
« on: February 18, 2011, 12:17:51 »
The local erks have been throwing stones again and two more panes have gone since yesterday >:(

Although I have netting over the greenhouse I think that the replacement panes will have to be acrylic or polycarbonate as this will continue to be an ongoing problem -  but am unsure which type.
Looking on the internet Plexiglass would seem to fit the bill. The panes come on 3mm or 4mm so I suppose that the 4mm will be better. Am I right in presumng that I can use the usual greenhouse glazing clips with Plexiglass?

Any info gratefully received ;)

Hi Tin shed. I put some plastic sheet in mine picked it up at buildbase its called lexan. My glazing clips work fine but i guess my clips are probably different to yours.  I know it comes in different sizes so you could do a hole panel in one piece if you wanted.

Thanks Lottieman.
I have been looking online, but it seems quite expensive if you buy them ready cut. Perhaps I will have to go round all the builders merchants and seee what is on offer.

If it doesn't break, they'll burn it!

Make sure you report the breakages to the police and your allotment society.
