Try other garden centres, Homebase etc as I got mine quite easily from one of our local DIY type places. Maybe B&Q had just sold out after the strong winds last month!!

They sell packs of W clips in our local garden centre and I am sure I have seen them at Focus too.

I've had the focus ones and the wilcos, and they are ok, but no where near as good as the ones we got from Parkers Garden Center, the focus ones were really quite easy to fit, but didnt hold it as tightly, the Parkers ones were a bugger to fit, but very strong indeed!

I think its one of those things that price can make a big difference in performance, the ebay ones were ok, but in future I'll pay a bit more for the Parkers ones! Much better!
