replacement plastic cover for mini greenhouse
« on: September 23, 2008, 21:50 »
Hello everyone,
mine does not have a ridge in the middle at the top, it's a level roof. The zips go over the roof of the mini greenhouse and fasten with ties to the top of the rear "wall" of the plastic. It's a grey metal frame and shelves plus castors with brakes. The plastic has come adrift from the zips almost completely and I've tried to repair it many times. Most of the plastic has now perished anyway. It has 3 shelves.
It'd be a shame to have to start anew as the frame, castors & shelves are fine. Anyone any idea where I can buy a new plastic from please? I think I bought it from B&Q special offer last spring, but they don't seem to do replacement covers,
Thanks.

I think Wilko might have them on their website, or Woollies

Unless you got some suitable plastic and machined up a new one - Dunelm sell proper stuff, and long zips.

Are you any good with a sewing machine ?

Well in Lincoln there a housewares and fabric place called Dunelm,  i dont know if they have other branches but they look like they probably do. They sell quite good thick clear plastic on rolls 54 inches wide.

ebay has a cover for the 3 tier grow house.  Gardman in Lincs makes these growhouses so they might be able to set you up with a cover
