  • The printers stopped my glass from slipping !

    How? well I lost a couple of panes in the strong winds earlier, but I`m lucky in having a friend who owns a commercial nursery. So I managed to cadge a couple of replacement panes, but they were a little longer than the originals, now the Z clips are too short so I needed some sort of `one ` ended clip, if you understand me, you can order them , but as I was passing a printer, I nipped in and asked if they had any spare lithoplate, yes!, one sheet was all I required, enough to last me, lithoplate is made of Ali and thin enough to cut with a pair of scissors, it was simple to cut a couple of lengths oversized, slide them between the glass panes and bend them over, no more slip panes
    I even used the lithoplate to make stops at the ends of the gutters, held in place with outside silicone sealant, next, some header outlets to down pipes at the other ends.

      On thing I need to mention, is not to bend the ali too much as it can easily snap,unless you want it to.
