It's similar, but not as neat.  This is the best picture I could get tonight.

Are all the  glazing bars like that?  it looks like the ridgebar on my greenhouse.

[newtonuk]

Yes, I think they are. I've not checked each and every one, but the ones I have looked at are.  They look quite heavy duty for all of the frame.

[shedmeister]

There are two basic types of clip. One is a spring wire shaped like a w. These are best for all types of glass as they hold the pane in securly. the other is a bent chrome strip that is supposed to be better for poly carb sheets.
Having built several greenhouses and many sheds I would go for the wire clips on all occasions. They can be used on both materiels but I would advise you use a pair of snipe nose pliars when fitting them rather than a thumb nail. Glass use the flat bottom over the pane. Poly carb use the two elbows. the ends clip under the ridge of the struts.
Greenhouse companies will try to sell you their own at high prices if you can get them at all.

Hi Shed,

This is the profile of my frame, with the tall piece being on the outside and being completely new to this I don't know how the W clips will fit, as the glass sits on the little V and the current clips fasten in the channel on the M shape, down its leg and on to the glass.

Photo of clips please  or are they like these?

They are the ones Mum and it does say they replace the w clips. where you get two panes in one stretch you use a small s hhaped clip that just slides over the bottom pane and the top pane fits into that giving you the overlap.

Right, some photos as requested.  Inside corner, from the front and a picture of the glazing clips...








As you should be able to see, the glazing clips aren't like the ones that have been linked to, and to answer a previous question, yes all of the frame has that profile.

[shedmeister]

The w wire clips will fit that. The ends of the clip will bend under the M and will spring back into place.

[newtonuk]

Thank you Sir!

[shedmeister]

As said Use a pair of snipe nose pliars to fit them.
They can be spiteful little sods and are quite happy to lift an unsuspecting thumb nail up resulting in much swearing and red stuff leaking out

I'll have my bramble gauntlets on as well :-)

Just need to find a rubber seal that will do the job to the best that it can be done.

[shedmeister]

The seal is a self adhesive strip that is made from neophrane. You can get this from a garden centre in a roll. Just cut it to legnth pull the paper backing off and stick away. Have a dig around flea bay. You will probably get the lot cheaper

[newtonuk]

I managed to get a good photo of the profile at last...



The circled channel bit is 5mm across, so I'm guessing I need a 5mm gasket? Does that sound reasonable?

[shedmeister]

that would indeed be fine
