maybe you are giving up too quickly...have you called some nurseries to get
their ideas on who might sell these...or done a google.com search to try to
find other suppliers?

| well, that didn't come out right...lol.I meant that the 6 mil will way

| well, I live in Dallas, and have a 8'x16' greenhouse and have never

| the greenhouse for more than 90 days max...way longer than the 6 mil
| will
| last..you will incinerate anything else in the greenhouse in Texas..
| you
| can buy a butt load of 6 mil for the price of that fiberglass.

| was $24.68 per the same size.
|
| Question: Will the cheaper fiberglass panels work for a
| greenhouse, or MUST I use the more expensive
| clear poly carb ones? It's quiet a savings initially, but
| not sure what the trade-offs are?
|
| THANKS,

| I
