I use a handful of wire wool soaked in fairy liquid then rinse with hosepipe. Brillos will do but are a bit small.   Bob

Looking good Jack  :D

If you have to buy new glass, then B&Q sell it in packs to fit an entire greenhouse for around £90.  It's pricey, but useful to have around after you've been visited by some of the local bast...  ahem,  darlings  :twisted:

I opted for perspex to replace a couple of panes that broke one night - lasts much longer but isn't as heavy as glass so won't weigh the g/h down in a high wind!  :?  :roll:

Hi su

i have put perspex off cuts (not the right size) on top of the glass at the back of the G H beside the hedge that is where the missiles would come from  :roll:

£90  :shock:  nah i will just keep on begging and hopefully get there soon :D

i have spent enough on clips and bolts etc...

cheers
