Default Greenhouse Glass Safety Question

I bought a small Aluminium/glass greenhouse about 8 years ago for a fairly
small back garden, and I get a lot of enjoyment from it. But I now have a

4
year old daughter, and I'm worried abou8t the safety aspect.

Can you buy safety film for green house glass ? if so, where ?


Probably, but I would expect it to be expensive and suffer from UV
damage in an outdoor environment.


The Mothercare plastic film has been attached to the lower glass in our
lean-to for 12 years and still looks in perfect condition - not
degraded at all (bubbles still present where I imperfectly fitted it
too).


As a youngster I got away with running through a greenhouse window, but
the glass could just as easily have caused me serious damage.


To discover what damage the glass in a greenhouse can do I recommend
reading a book called the The Greehouse by Susan Hillmore - a
wonderfully gothic tale of a greenhouse with strong family ties.
