This plastic material allows for constant all-year-round gardening, whilst also presenting a cheaper option to traditional greenhouses - making one the perfect choice for avid gardeners and those who want to grow on a budget.
Polycarbonate Greenhouses for Sale
There are many advantages to polycarbonate greenhouses over glass-sheeted greenhouses. For example, did you know that plastic has better heat retention properties compared to glass? And, since less heat is lost, the polycarbonate material is able to maintain a higher average temperature than other greenhouse materials. Which is, of course, essential to keeping plants warm.
Durable Greenhouses
Furthermore, polycarbonate greenhouse glazing is a stronger material than glass, this means it is able to endure a large amount of damage before it can be classed as unusable. This is evident in the shatter-resistant feature. No matter if it's a football, hail, or rocks, greenhouse polycarbonate sheets are highly unlikely to have a smashed window.
However, in the occasion that the greenhouse needs maintenance, a polycarbonate roof sheet is much easier to source and fit as compared to a glass sheet which can be awkward and may be difficult to find the required specifications.
Polycarbonate Glazing and Sheets
In addition, plastic roofing sheets are thicker than glass. This means the horticultural glass will provide a more effective light diffusion than standard glass panels. This means that natural light is likely to spread evenly throughout the greenhouse staging, which is of huge advantage when growing plants.
Available in many sizes, and as twin wall polycarbonate, there may even be space to house a small box with your gardening tools, and any hand tools that you may need inside your greenhouse. You could even create an organised system to separate your power tools and garden hand tools. For instance a box for each type, or a box with a divider, where your garden power tools could slot in one side with your garden tools in the other.
Greenhouse Maintenance
As with most outdoor buildings, maintaining your cheap polycarbonate greenhouse is essential if you want to effectively grow plants and vegetables inside. For instance, a broom with a sponge on the end, or pressure washers on a light setting may all be suitable. However, before cleaning it is important to remove any plants that may get in the way of the cleaning process. It is also crucial not to place your body weight against the greenhouse itself. This is for health and safety purposes.
