Can't really tell what the clips look like from your photographs, but you should be able to make something close enough from stock extruded aluminium U section and a few hand tools. You will also need some L section aluminium (and I would suggest you brace the corner facing into the prevailing wind with thicker than standard material). Here is what happened to mine in the storm of 1997 http://www.nezumi.demon.co.uk/garden/gizmos/gizmos.htm The wind facing corner sheared off its anchor bolts and the corner struts crippled through the glass which did not bend at all. Hurricane force wind got inside and that was the end. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

If you can imagine the notched end sitting against the pane of glass with the above pane of glass resting in the notched part of the clip which stops it from sliding down once tightened. Do you think i could sub it for a different type of glazing clip? As i said the greenhouse is very old so i i am unsure if the universal clips will work please help! |
