Greenhouse Thingimijigs & Fixings
Everything on a cultivar greenhouse down to the smallest detail has been debated, tested and designed with purpose. Take for example the glazing bars that incorporate a subtle groove to make it easy for you to fix ties and hooks to your greenhouse. Our universal fixings can be used to support the gangliest of cucumbers.
In the design process we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of building not only the most stylish greenhouses on the market but also the most practical. We’ve poured decades worth of experience into the design and manufacturing process to cater for all eventualities.
When you buy a Greenhouse from Cultivar you are making an investment in a greenhouse that is built to meet the needs of a lifelong gardener. You can get a greenhouse quote today using our configurator.
Adding Greenhouse Fixings
Not all greenhouses are created equal. Adding greenhouse fixings can often be a very trying process, particularly when you have an aluminium frame. But a cultivar greenhouse is built different ! It has been designed to incorporate an attractive groove within the glazing frames. In the trade this is known as a screw port and it is designed with the gardener in mind, enabling you to fix, tie and hang plants or tools securely in position without the need to drill.
In this video we demonstrate just how simple this process is when using standard fixings available from any decent hardware store on online at retailers such as Amazon and Ebay:

What Type of Greenhouse Fixings Can I Use?

- Screws should be self tapping, 4.2mm (no. 8) gauge
- The depth of our groves is 8mm and screws can not be tightened beyond this;
- A variety of different screws and greenhouse fixings may be required depending upon your plans
