I don't think you have Menards in Cal, where I purchased. When the next fluorescent bites the dust, I'll look at:

The idea is to fit your space.

The entire thing started when I thought to build a greenhouse. Not having any money, I collected old storm windows as neighbors upgraded. But since all were different sizes, I learned that old glass is NOT usually going to cooperate when trimming.

I have a couple of cold frames, and they are useful, but no need for a greenhouse.
