Product Information

Full details

This ELEKEE Greenhouse Repair Kit is for greenhouse owners needing to secure or repair glass and polycarbonate panels. Its key benefit is providing a comprehensive set of durable, rust-resistant clips and fixings for a stable, weatherproof seal, preventing damage from wind and temperature changes. A potential caveat is that it is designed for specific panel overlaps and greenhouse frame types, so compatibility should be checked.

FAQs

What materials are the clips made from?

The W clips are made from galvanised steel, and the Z clips are made from stainless steel to provide excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.

Are these clips suitable for polycarbonate panels as well as glass?

Yes, these clips are suitable for securing both glass and polycarbonate panels in your greenhouse.

How many clips and bolts are included in the kit?

The kit includes 100x W Clips, 100x Z Clips, and 100x Aluminium Square Greenhouse Bolts & Nuts.

Do I need any special tools to install the clips?

The W and Z clips are designed for tool-free installation. The aluminium bolts have a square head which can often be tightened by hand, though a wrench may be helpful in some situations.

What is the recommended overlap for the Z clips?

The Z clips are designed to support a 12mm overlap between glazing panels on greenhouse roofs or walls.

Can these clips be used on greenhouses from brands other than Halls, Vitavia, AGL, and Eden?

Yes, they are designed for universal fit on standard aluminium-framed greenhouses and should be compatible with many other brands.

How should I care for these clips?

These clips are designed for outdoor durability and are rust-resistant. Regular inspection and cleaning of your greenhouse frame and panels will help maintain their effectiveness. No special care is typically required beyond ensuring they are properly installed.

Troubleshooting

Clips do not seem to hold panels securely.

Ensure the frame channels are clean and free of debris. For W clips, ensure the panel edge is fully seated against the frame. For Z clips, verify the 12mm overlap is maintained.

Bolts are difficult to tighten.

Ensure the bolt and nut threads are clean. If necessary, use a wrench or pliers on the bolt head or nut to assist with tightening, especially in tight spaces.

Panels still shift after applying clips.

Check if clips are evenly spaced along the panel edge. Consider adding additional clips for increased stability, especially in areas exposed to high winds.

Rust appears on W clips.

While galvanised steel offers rust resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may lead to minor surface rust. This typically does not compromise structural integrity. Clean the area if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the type of repair needed: edge fixing, panel overlap, or fixture mounting.
  2. For edge fixing, slide the galvanised W clips onto the greenhouse frame and press the panel edge into place.
  3. For overlapping panels, position the stainless steel Z clips to span the required 12mm overlap and secure the panels.
  4. For fixtures, align the bracket or component and use the aluminium square head bolts and nuts to fasten them to the greenhouse frame.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for use with standard aluminium-framed greenhouses. It is compatible with brands such as Halls, Vitavia, AGL, and Eden, among others. The clips are intended for securing standard glass or polycarbonate panels. The Z clips are specifically designed for 12mm panel overlaps.
