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.
