Title: Greenhouse glass
Post by: Fluff on February 23, 2009, 22:14

I bought a second hand green house off ebay.8 x 6

I lovingly wrapped the glass in bubble wrap but someone (no one admitting liability )stood on one of the piles.  I have lost if I put the random pieces together about one long side.  The trouble is that the pieces are missing from different sides.

I have several options now.

Try and find a pile of glass on e bay .
Buy a cheap 2nd greenhouse.
Local glass merchant for the replacement glass
Polycarbonate sheets.
Wrapping the structure in polytunnel plastic.

I didnt fore see this quandry so would appreciate anyones advice who has been in a similar position.

Thanks Alan

If you're anywhere near Evesham, Worcestershire - there's some greenhouse glass on ebay ending in about 3hrs. No bids as yet - If only I lived closer as the owner wants the buyer to collect!

Maybe this is some help?

I have a friendly glass fitter who came out and cut about 12 panes including several triangular ones. Cost £45
