Topic: glazing a greenhouse

[baz621]

ive been given a 8x6 greenhouse, just done the base, and now i need to glaze it, with it being the first time, im not entirely sure what to do, i've also been informed that i need to put some kind of glazing tape under the glass and use clips to hold the glass in place????
HELP...........

any suggestions help or advice will be very much appreciated, oh and ive got my glass sorted thanks

get yourself down to wilkinsons, they sell bags of glazing clips really cheap. everything else you need too.

i'm just doing mine for the first time. I just start with bottom pane, clip it in, use 2 of the little metal hanger thingys (very technical) that hold the higher pane up, pu it in and clip it in.

I will put the roof in last as it was the first thing that i took out when i dismantled  it

I have just moved one onto the plot, and have the cuts to prove it! ;D
Not heard of glazing tape, I just used the same as Lacelott, glazing clips and "Z" looking thingys!
Got mine from e-bay, always buy more clips than you think you will need, I ran out! >:(

The glazing strip is a strip of rubber that sits between the glass and the frame to cushion the glass. There has been a thread about alternatives that can be used. Some say a bead of silicon which you leave to dry then put the glass in.
