    I think you need to sit down and work out how many sheets of polycarbonate you would need as opposed to glass.
    I like the twin wall stuff as its got a bit of insulation.

    But I also like glass, it lets more light through.

    So, I've used polycarbonate on the shady side of my greenhouse and glass on the sunny side, but then it serves a double purpose, as the poly side is on the neighbours side, so less likely to get broken.

      Thats a great idea, has one side will be near a brick wall and the other side will be facing the sun
