Polycarbonate greenhouses compared
Polycarbonate panels are light, they don't shatter and they hold heat better than single glazing. That makes them the safe pick for gardens with children, pets or footballs. Panel thickness matters most: 4 mm is fine for summer crops and seedlings, 6 mm and up keeps the frost off in spring and autumn.
