replacement glass needed on the cheap

[sallyw]

does anyone know where we can get some replacement greenhouse glass for our second hand greenhouse, quite a lot of panes were missing when we bought it and a few got broken in transit, we thought B&Q sold the stuff but unfortunately not any ideas??

I got rid of a shed-full of panes via Freecycle. You can post a 'wanted' ad.southend_freecycle : Southend Freecycle Network

thanks for that twosheds, have just signed up to freecycle!!

Be careful. The trouble with old glass is just that; its old and tends to be brittle, and damned difficult to cut, unlike new glass.
I know its a pain (excuse the pun) but you would be better off laying out for new glass from a glass supplier, cut to the right size, rather than muck about trying to get the size you want for nothing.

I have a local glazer who sells greenhouse glass cut to size for a few quid a pane - might be worth hitting Yellow Pages if Freecycle can't provide.

Hi Sallw

I use the company Roman Glass, not sure if a branch near you. Check on Google, find them very reasonable have 2' * 2' panes always in stock and will cut to size if required.
