wind damage

<< < (6/6)

ina:
We used to suffer broken panes several times the first year we had the greenhouse. Tried it with the window and door open, adding lots of clips but nothing worked. Always from the back wall of the greenhouse, the panes got sucked out by underpressure as the wind hit the side of the greenhouse and blew around the corner.

I brainstormed and came up with an idea. I bought some 1 cm square wood, cut lengths the same width as the window panes and whittled the ends to the thickness of the profile that the clips fit behind. Hold the wood stick diagonally against the pane and turn it horizontally while pushing it a bit until it fits tight behind the profile on each side. We never had another broken window from the wind since.

Just happen to find a picture on which you can see it.
