Hi there,

Could anyone recommend a good supplier or place where I can get some replacement glass for my greenhouse. I am new to all things gardening and recently have inherited a property so am having to learn an awful lot of things very quickly. 

Thanks 🙏

    Any glass cutting company could supply replacement greenhouse glass, you just need to take the measurements with you and tell them it's for a greenhouse. Probably cheaper than buying online.

    Our local hardware shop will cut greenhouse glass to size, though I expect they'll sell out in the next couple of days!

    Greenhouse glass is generally known as horticultural glass.
    But, many greenhouses now have toughened glass so that if it breaks it shatters like a car windscreen (so it's safe) and doesn't just break into deadly shards of glass as horticultural glass will do.
    I'd imagine the cost of toughened glass would be much higher than horticultural glass
