    Me too.
    The lid of my 15yr old propagator is discoloured and shattering and like you, I can't find a replacement. This would be one option -
    Polycarbonate Sheet you can cut to size, attach a handle and lay on top of you propagator and is what I'll probably do

    My lids are opaque but I still use them. I expect the bases to go as well soon, I use them for watering plants and the birds use them for bathing. Then I'll get some new ones

    Mine is so cracked it's going to fall in soon. But I realise I have an old cold frame I don't use that has poly carb panels, so maybe I can use that
    B&Q have got a clearance sale atm - £7 for 1200 x 610mm polycarb sheet

    I'm looking for lids for my quarter size seed trays for my Guardman propagator 7. I only have 3 left. I think they've changed the design of the trays so I suppose I will have to get new trays as well!
