HI, Our electric is about to be turned off for the day.
Is the glass on the greenhouse roof held on by Z clips and W clips, or just W clips?
I ask as we are trying to fit the glass, but the overlap is too great for the Z clips to fit!
Thanks very much,
Sue

The W clips hold it in place the Z clips at the overlap reduce slippage down the frame...
Hope I beat the power cut!

Thanks Saddad, its just that we cant fit the Z clips in!
The sides have gone in ok, but the roof seems to narrow at the apex and the z clips are not large enpugh for the overlap!
Power was supposed to go 1 min ago!!

I must confess to bending the z clips open to fit thicker bit of glass when I glazed the inherited greenhouse on my plot...... Grin
