Damaged greenhouse
« on: February 14, 2007, 17:10 »
is it hard to fix a greenhouse that has a damaged/twisted ridge in one of the ceiling poles? i've seen pictures of this greenhouse going very cheap, and haven't had much joy elsewhere trying to pick one up

deano if its the main ridge piece from apex to apex,if it is you can straighten it as best you can and reinforce it with a piece of 25 mm aluminium angle or bigger if you like and a few self tappers,
this is the stuff

thats even easier mate i thought it was the main roof piece.
if you have a B&Q warehouse in your area you might get it from there or a decent hardware store
same again angle aluminium but you will loose the rebate for your clips so you will have to silocone the glass in unless you can salvage the bit of the greenhouse and cap it off with the new piece.

Damaged greenhouse! You haven't lived!
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
