  • Suspended Shelving.

    Have just made a shlelf out of some 2"x!" I had over and suspended it from the greenhouse roof but I am not confident it will hold as it is hanging from some cheap plastic fittings I got to secure bubblewrap, They just go into the slots in the frame and twist to hold. Has anyone made a suspended shelf and if so how did you fasten it to the roof. Many thanks in advance.

    You can buy metal clips that twist and turn in the greenhouse grooves. I have some that support shelving. Like this Fixing Supports (Pack 10) from Allotment Growing
    I use the plastic ones too but only for bubble wrap or mesh and they have been known to shear off!

        Same company and same page!! I have some of those ring ones too, they came with my last freebie greenhouse. Thought I'd use them to keep tomato canes upright.

          I ordered them from here because the ends look moe rectangular than square and dont want to start dismantling th GH, I am hoping these will just slide in and twist/lock. The ones from Two West look more square.

            Don't they all have to be rectangular in order to twist and lock? Nobody would sell a fixing that had to be built into the greenhouse during construction, would they?! You're getting me all confused now....

              That would be far to easy, I read some reviews on Azamon and one stated that the ends were square and he had to hacksaw them down..........what a faff.

                  My thoughts exactly but a man's got to do what a man's got to do.

                      I bought a pack of those rectangular twist and screw ones (if you'll pardon the expression !) and they work fine! Just remember to tighten yer nuts!!
                      I think this might be my greenhouse ( very amateur) and other trivia blog page!!! Do feel free to drop in !

                          If you only trying they ain't tight enuf!
                          Never test the depth of the water with both feet

                          The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                              Oooh, I like the sound of these shelves. Pictures please.
                              Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are probably right.
