Default Greenhouse glazing

says...
Hello, I'm about to purchase a small greenhouse for the first time to
locate on my recently acquired allotment, I'm undecided about whether
to go for strengthened glass or polycarbonate, are there any drawbacks
to the polycarbonate option.

many thanks

Peter

You can always make your own, I did once a few years ago
and plan to make another when I get time. It isn't
difficult if your primary aim is functionality and cost
effectiveness rather than cosmetic appeal. Simply construct
a frame with 3" x 2" pressure treated timber and attach
clear corrugated PVC sheets to it. Job done for a fraction
of the price. It is also much easier to fasten things to a
wooden frame such as hanging baskets, shelving and some
bubble wrap or other insulation over Winter.
