  Double sided tape does the job in my alumium greenhouse and plastic twist pegs for my plastic coated greenhouse both done with bubble wrap.

  I had the idea to make a GH inside a GH, so I bought a plastic one and have put it up inside my big one. If I need to bubble wrap the is the one i will do

  

   It only cost me £4 and i'm hoping it will work

  Presumably fit inside the greenhouse, which way round - bubbles to the glass or flatside to the glass?

  I have mine flat to the glass, you will need to buy spacers, that will make an airflow space and keep the greenhouse warmer. Its like double glazing on your house windows, the bigger the space between the glass, the more effective it is.

  Can anyone recommend good tape to fix the bubblewrap edges in place? I bought a roll of Gardman Weather Proofing Tape 50Mm X 20M last year but it didn't stick well, especially once it got wet with condensation

  Also, should I try to plug the gaps in the aluminium frame of my Polycarbonate greenhouse - especially the corners and roof ends - and if so, what is best to use?

  Thanks everyone for a really useful thread so far!

  After insulating my green house with bubble wrap condensation is very bad this has never happened before could it be there is a big gap at the apex from the glass to the bubble wrap.
