Default WTB: Greenhouse clear plastic panels

Built my own greenhouse with the polycarb, while building (I live on
top of a hill, had a lot of wind, have had a LOT of wind since then,
not a single crack, no clouding,, etc. Nice and easy to work the
polycarb too. If you're planning on something that will last on more
than 10 years, would absolutely say bite the bullet, and go polycarb.

All in my humble opion

LOL - thanks.

I have a 50x100 roll of 6mil greenhouse poly, but
after thinking about it, I decided that panels would
be a lot less hassle over the long run. The problem
that I have is that Lowe's seems to be the only game
in town - so I must buy the fiberglass (FRP) or the poly carb.
Just not sure which one to go with. Wish I had more
choices, but not a lot of options here near Austin :-(

well, that didn't come out right...lol.I meant that the 6 mil will way
outlast the cold. It's just a minor "p-i-t-a" to replace every year.

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

needed
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.

I went by Lowe's & the translucent 5oz fiberglass was
$14.19 per 12' x 26" piece. The clear poly carb panel
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,
Gene

Want to buy enough clear plastic panels to build
a 36x24' greenhouse. I only want the rigid 2' or
so wide type - not the plastic sheeting. I have looked
at the new stuff at Lowe's & Home Depot, etc. - just do
not want to spend that much :-)

Thanks,

Home Depot and Lowes have the best prices on the corrugated

fiberglass.
I
don't
think you'll find the panels any cheaper.
