Best plastic for greenhouse frames
« on: February 04, 2010, 20:47 »
Hi all.

Been given a plastic greenhouse frame, one of the ones where there's basically four shelves and a plastic covering on it and the door opens via a zip....

It's great, and it was free, and it's not one of the really cheap ones you can get - it's very thick plastic.

I was just wondering, I'm going to fix it to the outside of my shed so it doesn't blow over, but what kind of plastic should I fix to the outside, bearing in mind this is all on a budget?

Should I use the stuff that conservatory roofs are made of, or corrogated plastic? Or is just plain old flimsy (albeit thick) plastic good enough to use?

Cheers guys!

Look for the key letters UVI (Ultra-violet inhibited).
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
