I would like to use plexiglass for my greenhouse since I will be getting it for free. I know it will crack and get brittle over time. But is it still a good material? Also what if I just did a plexiglass roof and windows but had an actual building (like converting an old shed)?
Any thoughts?
I don't know where you live but as a roof I don't think Plexiglass would hold snow.
Also it tends to get kinda milky color after sun exposure.
I might say "for free take for buy waste time" like my Mama used to say.
Do you know how thick the plex is?
It all varies in thickness. We were going to put extra supports on the pitched roof. I'm still trying to think of a way to make it retain more heat to melt the snow. I might just have to go out there and poke it with a broom.
We aren't looking to do something big maybe big enough for a 6 ft table on one side and walking on the other. Just enough to keep some plants going through the winter and get the starts growing.
