Default greenhouse



Mike, you can get UV proofed bubblewrap, it costs more but lasts up to 17
years.
Rusty's method of using UV resistant polythene (like old tunnel cover)
next to the glass then bubble wrap would also work, the glue was between
the plastic sheets not on the glass!
What ever you use the easiest way to fix it is those small green plastic
plugs that go in the slot then turn.
Big bubbles and a 1.2M roll will work best for 8x6' greenhouse.

I do the roof first, one whole piece each side, then the sides one whole
piece each side, followed by the ends which are fiddly, you may have to
cut around vents.
and no chance of doing yours, horrible job especially as I always leave
it untill the damn things are full then try and work around the plants!

Thanks Charlie.

We are familiar with the little green twisty things as we have used them and
that is what I think "WE" have decided to use again. ;-)
