Default greenhouse

I have just acquired a greenhouse less several sheets of glass.
I have bought a sheet of poly-carbonate to cut up.
Any suggestions for fixing into greenhouse would be appreciated.

If it's cut to the right size you could use the same fixings as the glass, e.g. spring clips. If you don't have enough clips they're available at most hardware shops or garden centres. I assume it's an aluminium framed greenhouse, please come back to us if not

Have you got a decent garden centre near by who sells greenhouses? They may be able to help / advise.

I think I got mine from Wilko/Wilkinsons at the beginning of last year. At 99p a pack it would be worth a try.

Yep i got all my clips from Wilkinsons too. I aquired a jigsaw of a greenhouse and needed extra glass and clips. The glass was cheap too from a local glass supplier. The sizes are standard so they were available in the shop.
Good luck.

I have got a very large bag of greenhouse clips you can have. they came with my greenhouse but as its bar capped, they were just left spare. If you PM me, I will post to you. You might not want the lot - I have enough for a 10 x 8 greenhouse - just let me know.
