Really need some advice re glass protection - all ideas welcome!

[keengardener]

Hi everyone, I live next to a school and my new greenhouse has had it's first window broken on the roof. I am gutted, plants showered with glass. The side parts are hidden, but do any of you folks have any ideas on something I could put over the roof to protect it in some way? I don't like the glass panels, but the greenhouse was given to us like that and I said at the start if any of the panes were broken, we would replace them with the hard plastic windows. All ideas are welcome, as I have to come up with something before it happens again.

you could replace the glass you are worried about with polycarb sheets

just found this on a google search - I have not used the company - I just referenced it to show you what to look for.

or try corrugated sheets, you might be able to get one on each slope, ask on freecycle

Try these people, we have used them before when we glazed our greenhouse with corriboard. It's not too expensive, rigid when upright but you can cut it with a craft knife.
