Allotments 4 All

Help! When we replaced the glass panels today, my friend Don said that the whole greenhouse was short of these clips - b. wonder it had survived 2+ years without panes falling out before >:(  If only the man who put it up for me had told me way back that calm sunny summer's day that I needed some more....(sigh)

So, before the next lot of wind hits us, I need 8 of these spring clips - would anyone have any spare I wonder?

Or any idea where I could try to get some tomorrow?

Been to B&Q,Homebase & the glaziers but they've all only got those wire W thingys & the other overlap clips....and I got loads of those :)

B&Q usually sell Greenhouse Repair Kits. You would probably have to ask for them as they are small packs. FOCUS also sells them. If you can wait a few days postage - this website:

That was quick KT 8)

I can't see the sort I'm after there....these resemble the clips that come on clipart frames - but wider ;D

Thanks.

Thanks KT - they're there! 15 for £1.95....I'll have a scout round the shops tomorrow, if not....sorted! Very many thanks indeed 8)

Wilkinsons also have them  :)

Laura, THANK YOU!.....hmmm.....you reckon that tomorrow that's ALL I'll buy at Wilko's?  ;D

Really, big thanks to you and KT...one way or another I can get the greenhouse sorted tomorrow. Great relief!

I hope you find some, my Wilko's has sold out since the storms :(

Alishka you can't just spend 1.95 at Wilko's. Think about my shares in the place. You go girl. lol

I am guessing you have an Alton greenhouse who supply their on style of clips, i.e. rounded at the ends where as repair kits normally have the ones without this rounded part.

Let me assure you the 'kits' work equally as well.

Thanks TG....the ones I want are illustrated in the second link KT gave. I've been out this morning & can find nothing similar that will do the job, so I'll order on-line unless Lorna comes up trumps with some for me.... :D

oh btw...the greenhouse - given to me for free 8) a couple of years ago, is one from the 'Simplicity Greenhouse Collection' in Herts. apparently...and I'll give them a ring first thing tomorrow. One way or another I'll get it sorted.

I hadn't looked at the link sorry!! but those were the kits I was meaning.

SORTED!

Greenhouse Co are sending me some - should get them tomorrow 8)

Thanks for the links tho, KTL.....got them filed for future ref. Handy places, those. :)

Glad you got sorted Lish.

No problems matey. Pleased to help.

"15 for £1.95"

Is a bit pricey.

Oakington Garden Centre, Cambridge do 25 for £1.99.

OOPS! Bit late now....they arrived the day after from the 'house company and can't remember exactly how much, but they were more than any of those. Stillm  I've got enough to replace the missing ones, some for spare - and some for anyone else here who needs a few :)

Exactly the clips I was looking to buy Alishka looked everywhere for them when I have been traveling around but never see them on the shelves but now, thanks to  KT, I know where to get them. Cheers

Richard, if we're talking about the same clips, I can send you some - 10 do you? My pack had 20 8)

oops, forgot..PM me with your addy if you want them :)
