Hello all, I was just looking for some advice on the idea of plastic
greenhouse panels. I feel like I'm replacing the glass in my greenhouse
all-too often and it's starting to become a bit of 'Trigger's Broom'.
Either through accident or blustery weather the panels get cracked or
broken almost every year, and I'm starting to think about tidying things
up before the winter really sets in.

Short answer is glass is cheapest and maintains more structural
rigidity. If you are heating it then twinwall polycarbonate is better
for the roof since you get the benefit of insulation and much bigger
pieces can be used.

There's a lot of talk about using plastic, does anyone on here have any
success stories to share?

See the other Greenhouse panels thread for tips on quick storm repairs.
