Default looking for poly panel

Insulated polycarbonate panels are difficult to find in NY, CT, NJ area.

Any ideas?

Have you checked your local Home Depot, Lowes or Agway? Other than that you can check out these links:

SOLEXX Corrugated/Insulated Plastic Panels: http://fishstoretn.com/corrugated_in..._plastic_.html

EnviroCept Company: http://www.greenhouses-etc.net/glazi...e_covering.htm

Insulated polycarbonate panels: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

To me they seem expensive, I'd think about using some doubled up poly tarps at 4 mils thickness. A 10'x25' (4 mils) is available at Home Depot for less than $14.00 per package.

Default polycarbonate pannels

I would look for a commercial greenhouse supplier. I use Waldos Greenhouse Supply out of Toledo Oh,may be Perrysburg OH. Poly panels are not cheap - relative. I have used poly sheating, uv treated, comes with 4 yr guarantee, and seems to last 4 to 7 years deepending on how many creates try to climb up it - cats usually.

Finally ordered 5 x 4'X8' 4mm twinwall poly panels from Farmtek.

Going to building a lean-to greenhouse.
