Acquired a free greenhouse

Ok title states the obvious. My neighbor has had a greenhouse for years but she never uses it. So I reached out and inquired what her intentions were with it. Lucky for me I grew up with her sons and she's willing to gift it to me for free. Now I can do any frame repairs which are minimal, but for the polycarbonate siding. The siding is old and damaged and I'm guessing the oxidation can't be repaired by washing because it's literally degraded at this point. I'm looking for decently priced panels for this project. Something that will let 90% of light it but obscures viewing in from the outside as I don't want my neighbors getting into my business. I'm thinking an entirely transparent corrugated polycarbonate for the roof and something different for the sides. Helicopters are not an issue and no neighbor can view into it as well. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks again

We are talking about having a greenhouse built. Those polycarb panels are pricey. 6 mil plastic will work fine for the sides. It last about a season. Good luck.

Yea I've noticed, I may consider it only for the roof. The rest will just be the 6 mil plastic every season.

solexx 3.5 mill will last 15 years,it comes in 4ft. wide rolls.

The advantage of having a twin wall polycarb roof is that it won't condensate and rain down on your plants like the 6 mil does.

I always wondered what a double roof did.

Yea but how much sunlight does that twin wall diffuse/lower the light entering the greenhouse? I'm in new England where the sun is strong but not that strong!

I'm guessing that greenhouses in California have little condensation due to our extremely dry summers. Is that correct or it a problem here too? I would understand a greenhouse by the coast having potential condensation issues but what about inland?
