Later this year, or early next, I need to replace the existing lean-to greenhouses before they completely collapse. They are south-facing and
back onto a brick wall, the other side of which is an old apple and log
store.
The plan is to have a dwarf wall at the front, maybe 2 blocks high, and
then to glaze everything else. The size will be about 6.5m x 2.5m, with
a door at one (or both?) ends and some openable sections in the roof.
There are some mature tree canopies above the area so I wonder whether
the roof glazing should be polycarbonate or wired glass.
I presume others here have done something similar so I'd appreciate
suggestions for suppliers of "bits", and for design details to consider.

Have a look at sites like https://www.suttons.co.uk/garden-equipment/greenhouses

Aluminium framed lights can be supplied as kits of parts. Auto opening
vents etc. The usually toughened glass is often retained with stainless
steel clips. I have some 30 year old left over bits:-)
