My greenhouse is a 6x6, aluminium frame and I use polycarbonate, mainly cos of the kids. The winds keep blowing out the poly and scattering it.

Any suggestions on how I can wedge it in, keep it solid so the poly does not warp or bow?

Any assistance much appreciated.

I thought about using bathroom sealant on mine, but that's as far as I got.

How about clear silicone sealant such as used for fish tanks?

mine is a palram one with polycarb glazing and it came with strips that click in that hold the polycarb firmly in place.

my garden is a bit like a wind tunnel and not had any probs with losing glazing.

are you sure you have fixed them in correctly?

Yours is the same as mine hay wayne - do you suffer from severe flex noise and rattling? I am glad mine is at the bottom of the garden as it would drive me insane.

Yes i did fix them in but we are in a very EXPOSED area and that wind was very powerful.

I was thinking about the sealant..........

Above link is pretty much it, though no vent window thing.

im going to dab silicone sealant in each corner and a bit down the sides of my glazing...please i havent got it glazed yet the wind we have been having

The wind knocks the hell out of my greenhouse so I fixed the plastic glazing in with extra sealant. It seems to have done the job.

Makes it look quite posh on that website, not bad for £20 eh?

Not noticed any rattling on mine, but then my garden's quite sheltered and mine like yours, is at the top of the garden so away from the house.

The strips do hold them in place, but they were a b*gger in places to "snap" into place. My thumbs still hurt.
