Re: Greenhouse choice
I prefer glass never had plastic but I have heard good things from polycarboante greenhouses , it's just they seem a tad flimsy.

Re: Greenhouse choice
I also have a glass greenhouse. It is more robust than a polycarbonate one. My greenhouse has survived many storms, with only just a few glass panes victimised. And some broken ones are still in the greenhouse, even on the top, which are broken but still are robust after many years broken.
I guess glass is easier to clean than a plastic one. Although I basically have never cleaned my greenhouse glass in the last twenty years...

Re: Greenhouse choice
Polycarbonate insulates better if that's concern. Glass looks better though.

Re: Greenhouse choice
I recently bought one from Access Garden Products - www.garden-products.co.uk
The quality of the product was just mind blowing and I assembled it myself, this is nothing short of a miracle given how poor my DIY skills are!
