W Clips - How to i use them!

[maillme]

Hi There,

Finally got my greenhouse - from local Adtrader site, dismantled it, picked it up - have built it - now i need to put the glass in.

now, i bought some new w clips - and i have some of the old ones too, but, ive no idea how to "work" these damn things!

- Do i put it in the fram and hold it, then squeeze glass in?- Do i some how try hold them to the glass and push glass in?

ive no idea, and im in dange rof smashing (more) panes of glass!

any help is greatly appreciated,

thanks,
neil

Put the glass in first, try to leave an equal amount of gap either side, one leg in the frame, middle of the W between the glass and the frame then add pressure and force the other leg into the frame, hope you can understand my instructions once you have got it, it is a doddle

Neil - I'm so glad i'm not the only one
I bought a greenhouse which stood without glass for about 3 weeks until my dad came down and told me i was stupid ( charming !!! ) and promptly showed me what to do - which is one of those things that when you know it - it is easy - but until then it is unfathomable
Am sure you will crack on like a rocket ....
With the glass in place grap a w pin Pop the top ( end bit ) of one side of the w under the greenhouse frame and puch the bottom bit under/next to the glass - the middle bit of w then holds the glass in from the top and you just ping the other end of the w under the frame
- i really hope that helps !!! - i know exactly how fustrating it is

Thanks for the reply!

I got another set of "fresh eyes2 to look at it (my bro) and he sussed it for me!

Glass is nearly all in now! And yes, it was very frustrating not knowing what to do! haha

thanks again,
Neil

I found that when putting in W clips, if you use the blunt end of a biro on the loose point to force it into place, then it saves your fingers and gets them in really easliy. Try it, you wil see the light.
