How much roughly is greenhouse glass? 610mm x 610mm
« on: April 30, 2012, 14:39 »
After the high winds recently I need to replace 2 pieces of greenhouse glass. My father reckoned they were a couple of quid each but upon ringing around I got quotes ranging from £6 to £15. So before I place an order, how much would you pay or have you paid in the past?

Thanks for your help

I was quoted £6:00 and I thought that was steep.    Maybe I should rethink if you have had costings up to £15:00.    :ohmy:  Cheers,    Tony.

Last sheet I bought was £5 (collected) and I thought that was a bit steep, although it was last year.....................

You'll find the price varies depending on how windy it's been (the same applies to fence panels too).

Thanks for the replies. I managed to get a quote for £5.20 + VAT per glass pane of 610mm by 610mm from a local shop. I think im best of going with that. I did wonder whether perspex might be cheaper but then I dont know how long it would take to weather and lose its transparency.

Where are you?

I'm in Stockton (NE England) and have a load sat there just in case anyone needs some. My greenhouse blew away before I could install the glass  :(

If you're local, you're welcome to some.

Thankyou for your kind offer unfortunately I am in Oxfordshire so a bit of a distance away. However, I did have a quick look on ebay for second hand glass and there was quite a bit but over 40miles away from me. Ive opted for getting polycarbonate sheets instead. They can be had in packs of 5 or 10 on ebay (roughly £20-40 delivered). For anyone else needing some then type in "polycarbonate 610" on ebay. 610mm is a standard off the shelf greenhouse glass size. I believe its UV treated too so shouldn't yellow or go brittle.
