I bought a couple of pane's of glass 2 year ago. It cost me £2.20 then. If you need all the glass it could be just as cost effective buying a new greenhouse!

Hi Croft,  welcome to the forum. 

If money's not a problem you could try B&Q who can sell you a complete set for different sized greenhouses.  I can't find the info on their website just now, but they have had this in stock before for around £90 for a full set.

Other than that, you could try scrounging!

Another option would be to keep placing
WANTED ADS on FREECYCLE. I'm sure there are people out there who have spare panes. By the time spring arrives (assuming it comes at all next year) you might have enough to complete the greenhouse.

You don't know unless you ask  ;)

Another option would be polycarbonate.

What about covering the frame with Enviromesh?  Sort of half polytunnel half greenhouse?

Just sent my OH of to get 8 panes from a freecycler.  - how coincidental.
