I live in Vancouver Canada so there's ALOT of rain ;). I could do glass but that would also be expensive.

then for temp just do a simple piece of glass. or the poly. Or just leave it until you can afford to redo the whole thing.

I mean, if you want really cheap, you could that super think 5mm plastic they use for roof covers! Or see if you can find anything on Kijiji

If you're going to replace it eventually, take down the glass, add some purlins (check manufacturer of polycarbonate for spacing), and put up the corrugated polycarbonate panels. They're pretty easy to work with and reasonably priced.

I think I've seen this at Lowes. Corrugated polycarbonate sheets.

How much wind do you get? You may need something sturdy that can be secured safely.

Oh come on there isn’t that much rain. Remember how nice is was on Sunday and Monday... ;)

The other problem with the rain is is keeps things damp so I assume the glass may often need cleaning as likely gets grungy etc.

I’d wait and replace the whole thing with one product. Corrugated looks cheap and DIY to me.

I agree corrugated poly definitely looks diy. Which is also why I thought using acrylic or poly sheeting might look better too. Its not super windy here but we do have some days where we can get some strong gusts.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

The corrugated sheets get screwed to the structure and thy will need less cleaning than glass that's for sure.
