FAQs

What material are these greenhouse clips made from?

The Heswall Glass W clips are made from durable, rust-resistant galvanised steel wire.

Do I need any tools to install these clips?

No, these clips are designed for tool-free installation. You simply slide them into the frame and bend them to secure the panel.

Can these clips be used with polycarbonate greenhouse panels?

Yes, they are designed to securely hold both greenhouse glass and greenhouse polycarbonate sheets.

Are these clips suitable for all types of greenhouse frames?

They are compatible with most standard aluminium-framed greenhouses. Compatibility with other frame materials may vary.

How many clips are included in this pack?

This pack contains 100 W clips.

Will these clips rust over time?

The clips are made from galvanised steel, which is specifically treated to resist rust and corrosion for long-term outdoor use.

What is the primary benefit of using these W clips?

Their primary benefit is providing a strong, secure, and tool-free method for fixing greenhouse glass or polycarbonate panels, ensuring structural stability and weather resistance.

Troubleshooting

Clip not holding panel securely

Ensure the clip is fully inserted into the frame channel and bent adequately to grip the panel edge. Check that the panel edge is not damaged or irregular. Clean the frame channel of any debris.

Difficulty sliding clip into frame

Verify that the frame channel is clear of dirt, old sealant, or obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct size clip for your frame's channel.

Clip appears rusty

While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments or damage to the coating can lead to minor surface rust. This typically does not affect performance. If significant rust is present, consider replacing the clip.

Panel rattles in strong winds

Add more clips along the panel edge for increased security. Ensure existing clips are properly bent and providing firm tension against the panel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and rust-resistant construction for longevity.
  • Provides a strong, secure grip for various greenhouse panels.
  • Easy, tool-free installation process.
  • Compatible with most common aluminium greenhouse frames.
  • Reliable performance in various weather conditions.

Cons

  • The green color may not match all greenhouse aesthetics.
  • Primarily designed for aluminium frames; compatibility with other materials may vary.
  • Requires manual bending to secure, which might be difficult for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Align the W clip with the channel in your greenhouse frame where the panel sits. Slide the clip into the channel and then gently bend the clip to create a secure grip on the edge of the greenhouse glass or polycarbonate sheet. Ensure the clip is firmly in place to provide a stable hold.

Compatibility:

These clips are designed to be compatible with most standard aluminium-framed greenhouses. They are suitable for securing both traditional greenhouse glass panes and modern polycarbonate sheets. While they are optimized for aluminium frames, their design may allow them to fit channels in other frame types, though this is not guaranteed.

Care:

Due to their galvanised steel construction, these clips are inherently rust-resistant and require minimal care. For optimal longevity, it is recommended to keep the greenhouse channels clean of debris that could interfere with the clip's grip or cause abrasion over time. Periodically check clips for any signs of damage or wear, though their robust material makes this infrequent.
