Hello Caretaker.... How big is your greenhouse? and what frame tpe is it, wood, metal??

[Caretaker]

The size is only 6x4 and it is metal frame but it is in the garden so i have electric in it for a propergator and in early spring a heater (Feb).

Using the large bubblewrap offers better insualtion as well as letting in more light, which is what you really need.
Does your G/H have slots the uprights and roof bars to allow fitting with plastic clips... like this...

I put mine up with those clips, where I could - cos not all the frame has slots. Within a few days they had all popped out again and the bubblewrap had fallen down
Mines all held up with string and pegs now

I find that happens from time to time with mine too  Not sure if its to do with the heat expanding and contracting the clips, or if it's because they are naff!!

My greenhouse only has the middle roof bar for the plastic clips so was going to use tape or my trusty glue gun.
Will take your advise about the large bubble wrap, thanks.

I am very new to working with a green house (I have had mine for on ly 5 months) and I have found these comments on using bubblewrap and how to keep it in place, most useful. Thank you

I put wire the length of the apex and at the sides and hung the bubble wrap over it.  Everything else was fixed with duck tape.

I sent of for some bubble wrap from ebay only £8, was told it was 164feet x 2 feet but when arrived it was 22 inches across and had to patch it, plus the wrap was rubbish, looked like seconds.
I prested on with it but used my hot glue gun, worked a treat.
Only got to cut out the roof window and glue again so it can open.
On second thoughts will get better wrap not go for cheep rubbish, oh well there's always next year.
