Title: 3d "T" shaped greenhouse clips
Post by: Daffodil on February 18, 2019, 13:23
Hi
I'm new to this site and haven't found any posts on this. Apologies if you've already had this request.
We have a very old, but good greenhouse that I reckon is about 50 years old? We have enough glazing, both glass and acrylic to fix it but I can't find the correct fixing type anywhere. Ideally it needs to be like a 3 dimensional T/Z (mixture) shape with hooks on each arm as it fixes one pane to another and to the frame. We could get away with longer length z clips and use separately but I can only find short lapped z clips or aluminium ones that you bend - the latter aren't strong enough to not bend back to straight. Any ideas or anyone know what I'm talking about?!

Not really, do you know the maker of it?
Can you post a pic of the frame where the glass is held? Perhaps someone might be able to identify it then.

As MoS says where do the clips go , the side of the glass or the bottom of the sheet holding an overlap.

Is it this sort of thing?
