Why A Polycarbonate Greenhouse Can Save $$$$$

In times of recession all families are looking to cut back, but if there is one area of growth (quite literally!) it is in the Grow Your Own market.  Families view growing their own food as a cost effective way of reducing weekly grocery bills.  It is also a good way for families to spend time doing something together, even the youngest members of the family can get involved.  However, there are always some initial costs, and it's up to the savvy family to reduce these wherever possible in order to get maximum gains from growing fruit and veg at home. 

Many items of gardening equipment can be bought second hand at car boot sales quite easily.  Some items can be knocked together out of recycled materials, such as compost bins, cold frames and cloches.  An empty soda bottle makes a perfect bell jar for an emerging seedling!  The greenhouse however, is usually on the list of items that has to be bought, and on first investigations the costs often seem prohibitive.  However, if you choose durable and lightweight materials such as aluminium frames and polycarbonate glazing you can bring costs down considerably and you will soon recoup those costs in terms of reduced food bills.

These days a polycarbonate greenhouse can offer many benefits over their more expensive glass house cousins.  Polycarbonate glazing is extremely tough and virtually impossible to shatter, you will reap the rewards in the long run as you'll find replacing panes a very rare occasion.  It also makes the greenhouse a safer place for children to be. 

Twin wall polycarbonate glazing also emits light evenly around the greenhouse ensuring steady growth amongst plants, UV filtering protects against scorch.  Insulation is always important for gardening families on a budget so you'll be glad to hear that polycarbonate is top of the pops when it comes to the most effective greenhouse insulation. Easy to put together and install, there is no reason not to get hold of a polycarbonate greenhouse before the next growing season commences.
