For my 7' x 7' greenhouse it takes a day's work every second year, and the bubble wrap, which I buy in huge rolls, never overlaps enough, (just 1 cm wider would do), so, as well as the plastic clips, I have to use yards/metres of Duck Tape to get around the angles where the roof meets the walls and where the edges of the bubble wrap don't quite meet. The clips work fine but there are bits of the greenhouse where they can't be used. There must be a better way. Can one buy the sort of double-glazed skin that the Eden Project uses, I wonder. someone You can buy clear tape that is used on Polytunnels from good Horticultural suppliers. It is very tough, sticky and expensive. You shouldnt have to replace the bubble wrap every two years. Mine lasts far longer than that. I did use some bubble wrap that is used for packaging and that became brittle after two years. Try Horticultural Bubble Wrap which has more UV resistance? More expensive but you gets what you pay for. Is this all assuming that the bubble wrap stays up all year ? Is it worth taking down in Spring to maximise light levels or not worth the bother ?
