bubble wrap is very commonly used held in place my clips that fit into the glazing bars
My neighbor uses bubble wrap and says it work very well, im trying it this year,
Buddy im getting problems trying to find the bubble wrap clips at Two Wests do they have a special name
Try ebay for clips, type in greenhouse clips and scroll down you see them. most of them are coloured green. or try greenhouse people they probably have some
I use bubble wrap and those spacer clips and fittings, got the lot from ebay.

Oh no is it nearly that time again!!!
Bubble wrap with big bubbles is best. Plastic fixings I got from B & Q. (or failing that sellotape and bulldog clips)
"Bubble wrap with big bubbles is best." Exactly what I was going to say. It is to do with the heat transfer rate that I cannot quite remember.
Thanks for that Budy
Hello , I also got bubble rap and spacers also from B & Q and it does work
also the bit along the ridge I use metal washers to secure the bubble rap
remmber if you have automatic window openers to allow a bit of slack
just about to take the shading down
bext of luck
Glad to see this thread, can anyone please advise -How necessary is it to insulate a greenhouse over the winter? I was going to use mine to overwinter my new perennial seedlings and plants such as helenium, eryngium and echinacea. Also to protect tender plants such as tree fern and canna.
Will it not be enough that they are protected from heavy frost or do I need to insulate aswell?
