Title: Missing connectors for greenhouse
Post by: Alyson22 on January 24, 2017, 11:20: Hello, I am new to the site and new to growing my own too! Started last spring with some raised beds, with some successes and some failures! have been lucky enough to be given a greenhouse that was dismantled. It's taken me a while to work out which bit went where but I have finally cracked it, only to find 2 connecting parts missing, a corner connector and a roof one. I have spent hours on the internet and cannot locate the parts anywhere. It doesn't help as I don't know what make it is, there are no labels on it. Wonder if anyone can give me any advice if you have had the same problem. The parts are I think made of metal not plastic. Regards Alyson

Welcome to the forum by the way :)

Post by: Alyson22 on January 26, 2017, 08:15: Thankyou Lesley! Hope I copied the right links onto here of my greenhouse pictures. If anyone can assist me in identifying the make of this greenhouse or giving me any advise on where I can get the 2 connector pieces I am missing, I would be immensely grateful. I am willing to have a go at making these if all else fails and wonder If anyone has done that who could guide me on best method/materials to do that too.

You could try talking with Two Wests and Elliott.

They're specialists, and have all sorts of kit for aluminium greenhouses, plus lots of other stuff!.

www.twowests.co.uk

They have a great catalogue too, which is good for ideas!

Best of luck!
