First, fix your PC clock. ;-)
With a wooden framed house, you can choose whatever suitable pin comes
to hand.
With an ally framed house, there are proprietory fixings available at
most garden centres.

Thankyou GaryB
In the bad old days when we had a wooden greenhouse, a staple gun was
excellent and quick.

Now with the aluminium frame, we use ali-plugs - quite quick but twisting
loads of them in as we have to makes your fingers ache :-( I think I'll get
a helper or two for next winter's insulating day.

I've got an Ali greenhouse and some of the clips you can buy are just
rubbish, they either don't slot in properly, or they appear to then simply
slip back out again, once the bubblewrap is all sealed up, so you can't get
to it.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for "good" clips to use so I can
get some in for next years attempt.

I have ended up this year, with what looks like a bamboo scaffolding kit
inside the greenhouse to hold up all the bits that kept falling away, still
it seems to be working.

I have Alliplugs which have been in place for the last 4 years,
You should use with a Polly washer, push them into the channel through the
bubble film then give them a half turn to get the 2 lugs into place.

'Depends how old you are. ;-)
When I were a lad, matey, ...... it were 'ally'.
Short for allyminiminum.
Or in old blacksmith terminology, ..... 'muckite'. ;-)

Muckite was my Dad's term for Bakelite - 50/60 years ago.

:-) 'Don't think blacksmiths used much Bakelite. :-)
But, yes, you're right. Maybe it was a generic term for 'them danged
modern' materials.
