Butbutbut - if you spray the plain sheet with carpet adhesive you can
put the bubble side down and have your flat-both-sidedness.

* Oh, er, I'll take your word for it Rusty!

Do - it works a treat. Depending on how many pieces you use, and how
small they are (or how large, if you're an optimist) it looks more or
less (or less or more) tidy.

A few questions from her outdoors ;-)

1) The Bubblewrap we have in our greenhouse has to be replaced as the sun
breaks it down. Is this method any better to stop the decomposition of the
Bubblewrap?

2) How easy is it to get off when the decomposition does come and it has to
be replaced?

3) We find that Bubblewrap comes in different sorts of sizes and grades. Big
Bubbles. Small Bubbles etc. Which are best?

4) How is the best way to go about it in a full 8 x 6 greenhouse? *;-)

Look forward to your answers, .......... or offer to do ours ;-)

Sorry for posting twice, i forgot to mention Bubblewrap.

Good bubble insulation can be found here
http://gardens.taylorschoice.co.uk/p...1-5m_x_50m.php
which is ideal for greenhouses because it protects plants from frost
with minimal effect on light levels.

Hope this helps

Hope this helps

Not really. I didn't need your sales talk.

I respectfully suggest you read Percy Whiting's book, "The Five Great Rules
of Selling" and take note of the first rule.

Kindest regards.

No.

I have just attached it mechanically, not stuck the film on the
greenhouse itself. I wouldn't advocate glueing it on - mainly from the
tattiness aspect.

3) We find that Bubblewrap comes in different sorts of sizes and

IMO, big bubbles, but only in the 'sandwiched' stuff.

4) How is the best way to go about it in a full 8 x 6 greenhouse? ;-)

A little one, then.

Depends. Drawing-pins for a wooden frame, double-sided sticky tape for
an aluminium frame.

IMO, of course.

Look forward to your answers, .......... or offer to do ours ;-)

Enough on my plate as it is - haven't finished building mine...

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. ;-)

You don't need to leave it up over the summer. I have a series of canes
along the roof of the greenhouse, and simply drape lengths of bubble
wrap over them, covering roofs and side. I leave permanent bubble wrap
on the bits of the sides that can be replaced easily. Takes me about 30
mins to put it all up and about the same to take it down. The current
bubblewrap (not UV proofed) has been going strong for at least 10 years.

Oh hooter!

Cover blown!

I'll be using polycarbonate Twinwall sheet all over.

But for the time being, one side of Twinwall, the other and the roof of
two sheets of UV-stable polythene with an inch airspace between them,
nab just *MAYBE*, next winter, bubblywarp.
