Greenhouse replacement panels alternatives?
« on: December 12, 2016, 01:05:40 AM »
I have 6x8 kit greenhouse that needs replacement panels.

Any suggestions?

Poly film? Chepeast

Twin wall poly carbonate panels?  Most Expensive  needs to be cut to fit.

polycarbonate corrugated roofing panel? In the middle.  Needs to be cut to fit.


The cost are expensive Wichita I didn't know for replacement panels.

Any suggestions please.

I use poly film 6mm, have had it for the past 4 years and it hasn't need a replacement in SJ extreme weather.
(30-40MPH Wind, heat 100+F, Cold, Rain, Frost)

It's used in conjunction with wiggle wire and the brackets that go with it.
I had panels but they were such a pain to deal with, also more expensive.

I religiously remove the polyfilm from the roof and the sides to allow bees to pollinate my trees during spring.
With panels it takes forever, poly film, done in 10 mins and easily reattached.
Insulation isn't the best, so you may want to double up the sheets while you're covering.

If it is a HF greenhouse, you can order replacement panels.
