I am about to build a greenhouse on our new allotment, the size of the
greenhouse will be 12ft by 8ft, I have been to BanfQ, and walked around
the
other allotments to get some idea's, what caught my eye was a greenhouse
built using Perspex sheets, it looks really good and seems to be
maintenance
free, i.e., no broken glass to replace, also, no wood to rebate for the
glass and no putty or silicone to secure the glass, just screw or nail the
sheets to the frame

Can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of a greenhouse made
from corrugated Perspex, any suggestions welcomed.

Cheers

Jim
just make sure the perspex is stiff enough, I had a lean to one with the
corrogated plastic fitted and when it got windy a pane on the upwind side
blew in and then several on the down side wind blew out. When I cleccted
them I found that they were flexing in the wind enough to pop.

I've gone over to all glass now but I have had the odd sparrow hawk take a
short cut through the glass!! you can't win!
