Greenhouse ponderings

So, the greenhouse is lovely and the recent wet and windy weather has completely proved its value but I have a question which I have not seen asked anywhere else and almost fear to ask myself, in case it proves that I am a complete idiot.

Back when we were looking at greenhouse options, it became clear that because there was only one possible location, in the far corner of the garden, it also had to be a polycarbonate greenhouse as our neighbour’s teenage son has a set of goalposts in the adjacent corner of their garden and no glass would have survived long under the onslaught of him and his chums practising (and missing) their penalty shots and skying the ball onto our greenhouse roof.

So far, so good, the polycarbonate has coped with any number of footballs and as we are nearly into basketball season, a few of those too. But are all polycarbonate greenhouses quite so noisy in windy weather? Ours is like standing an inch from Rolf Harris’s wobble board.

Or am I a complete idiot?
