Hello, I'm about to purchase a small greenhouse for the first time

For an allotment then Polycarb every time it's much more vandle
proof. David Hill
Abacus Nurseries

Thanks for that, the allotments are inside a high walled garden with
locked access, and out of view, so hopefully vandelism shouldn't be a
huge issue (touches wood).
Is there any difference between the two with regard to letting in
light, build up of heat etc, the traditionalist in me says it must be
glass, but if there is no difference, I might as well go for the
slightly cheaper and safer polycarbonate.

Peter

Have you considered something cheaper - just in case the vandals do get in?
