I have an old greenhouse on my property that has a metal frame & glass glazing. It is the first greenhouse I have ever owned & I am excited to spruce it up for use. The main issue I have is that some of the glass panels are broken & I want to replace them with something sturdier (we get quite a bit of snow in the winter which I am guessing is what has broken the panels) and lots of wind in the summer. Any suggestions on what I should use? |

I bought some really heavy duty clear plastic off ebay. It is the kind of plastic that they use on convertible cars for the windows on the top that goes up and down. Very strong but lasts for years.

They make a tempered glass that is very strong now. I would contact a greenhouse company or two and see what they suggest.
