greenhouse ???

Yes I go along with the safety option I have toughend glass in the g/house and had makrolon sheets in the one previous one it did discolour but helped with shading in summer,both have proved to be brick and football proof up to now.

 

I have no problems with safety. The g.house is in a section behind a locked gate so the g.kids and Ed can't get near it. No one near it actually, and no one plays football or other ball games. The only thing that worries me is high winds.

 

But remember your friendly neighbourhood Glazier.. and use float glass and keep him in work!...

 

Even greenhouses now have to be glazed in certain materials because the kids might hurt themselves.
I sometimes wonder how we ever managed to accumalate so many old people in the world, being that toughned glass wasn't used in greenhouses up until a few years ago. :D

As for floaty Nick.......

 

the do gooders want us to spend lots of money on health and safety :D or do we need to be wrapped up in cotton wool. :(

 

Even burglars have to be protected these days. Mother in law (80) had an attempted break-in three weeks ago - entry was over the top of a 6 foot gate. I was going to put up some razor wire behind the gate and discovered that if I did that I would have to put up warning notices.

 

Dave,In the past I have driven long screws through high fence panels in, towards the property, along the top edges. Imagine jumping up and gripping the panel under your armpit in an attempt to climb over.. :eek: It does do the trick(promise )and you can blame the exposed screws on bad workmanship

 

Or an electric fencer with the wire 1" below the top so as to prevent it getting cats but within the area that would be griped!
