Green House question

Only saying it how it is, Sheal.:D A "argument" can't be won by questioning a person's knowledge or experience as a way of devaluing their point of view.:D

 

Well, at least Luke knows there are alternatives and he'll make his own mind as to whether he prefers the qualities of glass or the qualities of plastic.:D

 

Nicely put, Pete.:D

 

Dai, you can't compare the weather in Wales to that of an Isle which can have to bear the brunt of the Atlantic winds and have winds speeds that Wales only gets in isolated, rare,short periods, to do so would be silly.
As I said before, if you haven't set foot on the Isle then you can't state , without knowledge or experience of the bad weather conditions on that isle, with any credibility that you know better than Sheal. If an experienced and knowledgeable gardener such as Sheal says plastic would be unsuitable for Greenhouse glazing on the Isle then I think that most of us on Gardeners Corner would agree.:D

 

Errr, you're right Jack.:D But Dia was telling Sheal basically that he knew better than her what she should use on the Ilse of Man, when he hadn't got any experience of the place.

The original question that Luke posed got pushed to the side when polycarb was brought into the posts and pushed as the one and only material to be used, while every other suggestion was being poo pooed. Granted it is not a plastic but we laymen refer to it as plastic.

Actually, Wales, Jack, is protected from the direct influence of the Atlantic by good ole Ireland which takes the sting of the weather for Wales and Cheshire, and the Isle of Man is more exposed to the Atlantic as it takes first blow from the NorthWest/North where all the bad weather from the Atlantic comes from, funneled onto it by the land mass of Ireland and the coast of Scotand and North England. Cumbria, Lancashire, West Cheshire, and North Wales get the same before Central and South Wales has any at all.:D
