Title: Greenhouse Connectors...Heeeelp!
Post by: Mamsoth on March 30, 2017, 20:30:27: Hi everbody, I'm really hoping someone can help me. I'm building a new plastic greenhouse as I gave my old one away. I've got the cover sorted, as well as the pvc pipes (22mm) but I'm having an awful trouble trying to track down some simple plastic connectors. It's quite hard to describe the pieces but I think you'll know what I mean when I say "standard greenhouse connectors".

The only ones I have been able to find so far are really expensive and I simply can't afford them. Does anybody have any spares or ones they no longer need? I can cover the cost of postage if necessary and have a good selection of chilli and aubergine seeds to sweeten the deal if anyone can help.

Thanks very much

Matt

I am not sure which type you mean can you give us a link to the ones you have found then perhaps we can take your request from there!

Here are some links to the pieces (from the states). My poles are 22mm in diameter but I could always make them a few mm thicker or narrower by adding duct tape to the inside/outside.

Hi Galina, thanks but I would need around 12 of them which would make it more expensive than just buying a pre built one.

Thanks for looking though.

Hi Tee Gee, thank you so much for taking the time. They would both be perfect except that neither site has one of the parts I need, which is the part to make the roof. I don't think I can do it without that piece.

Really appreciate the help though
