I would like to use this greenhouse for seedlings and my tomatoes but unfortunately there is no door.
I've got extra bits of Polycarbonate sheets that I can use but I'm not sure where to start.
I've looked online for replacement doors with no luck, any tips on creating a day one with reclaimed materials? Would love to see your examples if you've had a similar issue.

Honestly I’d personally just install some of those fly guard screen doors that split open with magnets during the summer and in fall I’d build a simple door out of spare 2x4s, and use a dremel with a disc cutter (because that’s what I have) to cut the polycarbonate to shape and screw it onto the 2×4 door(s). A greenhouse like that will heat up super fast mid and late summer, and that breeze will ensure nice temps and no animals eat the tomatoes. Then in fall I’d worry about winterizing it, and next spring I’d consider adding a solar fan and maybe some automatic window cranks.
Frame it with some 2x4s, build a wooden door, attach poly to door, mount hinges on frame, and attach door to greenhouse.
