You must go for glass.
The cost of 2000 Euro is ridiculous unless you are looking for something hugh. 2 years ago I bought a 6ftx6ft aluminium GH with glass windows and sliding door - it is fabulous and I grow all my autumn rooted cutting, my Cosmos for planting out (this year, I hope in, in late May) plus bedding plants which we buy in early May and grow on. My seedling Toms which now are 6 inches high and will be grown in the GH (heated until mid to late May to 50-60 degrees) through the summer and autumn.
Look at Halls Greenhouses or similar for quotes. I am sure I did not pay more than £350.00 complete.

Thank you for making me laugh, picturing my windows half way up to Dublin. I was actually pricing a 10'x6' the cost 2,247.00 Euros. Crazy price! One of the reasons I didn't go for glass was the mention that glass can scorch seedlings. I really want to grow summer bedding for family and friends and of course the fact that I love it immensely. This side of gardening is new to me.
