re old greenhouse

waylander2002

Hi ive got a old greenhouse at the end of my garden, every pane of glass is a different size, metal frame, i think i have to take out all the glass and grind the frame and paint it, glass is very expensive to replace , could I just replace with lenghts of corrugated sheets? or would someone suggest something else?
i only want to grow some tomatoes with the kids
thanks without spending alot

The photo isn't really clear enough to see the condition of it

most panes cracked or broken ,roof has lots of holes, frame is fine just rusty, id say it must have distorted and that caused glass to break

The metal moving as a result of freezing and sun could have broken the panes. Anyway, yes you can use corrugated plastic sheets, check it out, there are some specifically made for greenhouses. The thing you have to remember is that they flex in wind and can then come out quite easily, you may need some extra cross pieces to screw the sheets to.

I replaced mine with 3mm Perspex from a local builders merchant - flexible enough not to break but also doesn't pop out in the wind
