  • My new greenhouse - frame only!!

    Today on the allotment, I was offered an aluminium frame greenhouse 10 x 6, which I jumped at. The downside is that it is the frame only - all glazing has long since disappeared.
    What is the cheapest and best way to make the greenhouse in working condition? Some form of polythene has been suggested but if any grapes have some good advice about it (and also how to fit it) I would be glad of it. Any other suggestions would also be welcome.
    I'm just so excited at the thought of having somewhere to grow my plants other than balancing them on a windowsill!!

    the best route at the moment would be polythene as suggested
    the best on is horticutural type with uv protection it will last a couple of years without going brittle
    or you could see if you can source the panels and clips at garden centres or the diy sheds or even ebay

      In my opinion it is worth glazing with glass straight away as you will be dis-heartened when you see the poly ripped to pieces overnight.

      I have been there before with an old greenhouse I had.

      B&Q do glazing packs that are of a reasonable price.

      It is also false economy keep replacing polycarbonate and polytene every so often.
