Need glass windows and doors for a 'shed'

Hi, we are building a huge shed type thing in our garden to be used as a playroom, and need uPVC or Timber windows and a door for it.

Obviously we don't want to pay a high price for them as it's just a playroom. Can anyone recommend any stockists to try? I've tried a few local places for mismeasured windows, I need to go and look through them all myself.

They can be any size as we're building it ourselves but the joiner gave me 1000-1500 wide as a rough guide to go for, and about 600 high.

Thanks!

    Would definitely use pvc sheeting and NOT glass for a kid's playroom for safety's sake! When my son accidently leaned ladder through garden shed window (noone hurt thankfully) I was happy to swap for PVC. My daughter ran and slipped on a wooden floor and went through old style French/patio windows many years ago and still has a scar to show (fortunalely beneath hairline).
    This looks pretty reasonable and might do the trick at £16:

    But B & Q, Wickes and any decent hardware store will have similar
    and may cut to size (pretty sure B & Q do). If not, it's not hard to do, just takes a bit of care (Incise sheeting with tile cutting tool, Stanley knife or similar sharp implement and bend/snap) .
    Just because somebody is certain doesn't mean they are right!
