about a thrid of the glass was already broken when i arrived, and i guess i will break some more trying to remove and transport...the silicone really is deep under the frame

i guess if it had been a small greenhouse it would have been less expensive to glaze, but this thing is a 12x8 monster!

might give it a miss...

I bought some replacement standard horticultural glass a couple of months ago for £4 per sheet (2' X 2', or 610mm X 610mm) which I think is a faily average price so you could do a "fag-packet" guesstimate of how much it would cost to reglaze.

(At the price I paid for my 8' X 6' greenhouse last autumn that would make the glass about £200 and the frame itself £120)

As you say yours is much bigger than that; I think I would reluctantly give it a miss and look for one with removable glass!  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

thanks jayg, yep i'll give it a miss, its gonna cost me in excess of £300 to glaze, i could buy a brand new small greenhouse for that...i'll let her down!

if it was a smaller greenhouse, say 6x4 or 6x6 it might have still been worth a bash

ok, so back to freecycle for more begging!
