Greenhouse Glazing Instructions

Glazing your greenhouse will save you about 30 percent on energy costs, while protecting the plants inside the greenhouse from UV rays. Glaze comes in the form of flexible polyethylene panels or the more rigid polycarbonate panels, which are better for greenhouses requiring thicker panels. These panels slip into special channels that are attached to the frame of your greenhouse.
