  • Evening all

    I have recently moved to a house after staying in a flat in the centre of a Edinburgh for the last 13 years, and over the years tried numerous times to grow stuff with little success.

    So 2 weeks ago seen the deal for the 6 x 4 aluminium frame(b&q £30 one) and took the plunge and it will be put in our garden at the back which get sunlight from about 11 to late in the evening.

    Me and my partner have just had our first child and he turned 8 weeks on Sunday past, so one of my first questions will be about maybe fitting polycarb instead of the intended glass. I don't expect him to be walking for a long time but would like to prepare for flying objects and stuff well in advanced.

    Me personally I am currently working it security(just changed from support) and am starting a distance learning master at uni next month. Also interested in photography, gaming, football, golf, basic gardening, and have no time what so ever for any of them.

    Live in Broxburn now as well which seems to have had a load of good weather since we have moved here.

    Welcome to the vine James. If the greenhouse takes standard clips for the glazing, I cannot see any reason why it won't take polycarb. Ideally you could do with getting hold of a piece of polycarb just to try it.
