  • Replacement polycarbonate sheets for lean to greenhouse

    5 years ago I erected a nifty little polycarbonate lean to greenhouse. Now some of the sheets have started to crack around the edges where they are in contact with the metal clips that hold them down. Can anyone help with with any place that sells these sheets (uv protected) at a reasonable price ?

    This is the one I have.

    Gardman 6ft x 4ft Traditional Aluminium Frame Lean-To Greenhouse £203.99


    Thanks.

    That is one downside with polycard Marb, after a while the clips break through it. Save your cash & put some pieces of plastic (credit card size) between the clip & the panel. Hopefully that will see you for a while. May be better if you glue the plastic to the panel. Just a thought off the top of my head.

      Not sure if this is what you would call reasonably priced, includes delivery:

        Can you move the clips a few inches?

            These seem reasonably priced Marb.

            But can you not just get a replacement glazing pack from Gardman themselves?

              I will try the plastic under the clips to give it a bit more life thanks. The other thing is green algae, slugs etc find their way into the hollow part of the sheets and there is no way of getting it out.

                You could soak the sheets in a solution of Algon, but you would have to remove them first....
