QuestionI would like to enclose my screened porch for winter with plexaglass. This would help winter my plants. I would need 4 x 8 sheets. I cannot locate a source for them. Help?
AnswerThe best places to find Plexaglass are hardware stores that sell building supplies or building supply stores that sell lumber and other building materials. I have even seen it in department stores that sell building supplies.
I am not sure what you are wintering over or if you are planning to heat the area, but some tips about a winter room like this, make sure you have air circulation around the plants. I use a small fan on low. Have a good support brace, to keep strong winds from damaging the Plexaglass. Keep a thermometer in the room to monitor the temperature at all times. Water the plants only when they become very dry.
