Default DIY Greenhouse - Plastic Sheets

I want to build a little diy greenhouse. I would like to use some kind of plastic panels but I can't find such a product anywhere. The only thing I can find is the flexible plastic that you use to insulate your walls. I would prefer some kind of solid product that won't get destroyed by the wind, but I can't seem to find anything at Rona or Home Depot. Does anyone know of something I could use?

Wait until Canadian Tire puts their greenhouses on sale for 60% off. We bought a 6X8 greenhouse 2 1/2 years ago for about $350. It looks good and is made of solid materials. I think I priced out materials to build my own an it would have been more to build it myself.

My wife found this though:

Have a bottle drive, and hopefully you have some unemployed children!!

Garden Retreat sells polycarbonate panels. That's what you want.

The plastic panels are at Home Depot. At the 130th ave store they are along the back wall behind the cedar/treated wood. They are in the same place you would find 4x4 plywood sheets or pegboard.

Thanks guys, I'll try one of the bigger Home Depots. The store by my house is a smaller home depot and doesn't carry everything. I'll compare the price to garden retreat.

Great info, thanks!

So, is it going to be "Chronic" or "Elephant bud?"
