FAQs

What size are the standard clips?

The clips are approximately 50mm long and have a diameter of about 20mm.

Can these clips be used on any type of greenhouse?

These clips are designed specifically for aluminum greenhouses with standard glazing bars. They are not suitable for other frame materials like wood or PVC.

How do I attach insulation or shade cloth?

Slot the clip into the glazing bar, twist to secure, and then push the fabric, fleece, or netting through the pointed end. Place the washer on the smooth side down against the material.

Can I use these clips for tying things other than fabric?

Yes, the handy hole provided in the clip can be used for tying down other items, not just insulation or shading materials.

How many clips are included in a pack?

This product is for 'Standard Clips / 30', indicating a pack of 30 clips.

Do these clips help with insulation?

Yes, they act as a 40mm spacer between the glass and the attached material, creating an air gap that significantly improves the performance of insulation.

Are there different sizes or types of clips available?

Gardening Naturally also offers greenhouse corner clips for securing corners. This specific product is for standard clips.

Troubleshooting

Clip will not secure in glazing bar.

Ensure you are using an aluminum frame with compatible glazing bars. Check that the clip is inserted fully before twisting. The glazing bar profile may not be standard.

Attached material is loose.

Ensure the washer is correctly placed and tightened. Try securing the material further down the pointed end. For heavier materials, consider using additional clips or tying methods.

Clip broke during installation.

Apply steady, even pressure when twisting to secure. Do not force the clip if it meets significant resistance. Check for any obstructions in the glazing bar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, insert the non-pointed end of the clip into an aluminum greenhouse glazing bar. Once inserted, twist the clip to secure it in place. To attach fabric, fleece, or netting, push the material through the pointed end of the clip. Ensure the washer is placed on the smooth side down against the material being attached.

Compatibility: These clips are specifically designed for use with aluminum greenhouse frames and their standard glazing bars. They are not recommended for wooden or PVC frames. Ensure your glazing bars have a suitable profile to accept the clip.

Care: Clean the clips periodically with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
