Re: how to fix polycarbonate panels in a greenhouse roof

Simon, I don't think the wind blows the panels out unless you have the door and vents wide open but more like the wind passing over the greenhouse causing lower pressure like a aeroplane upper wing surface so sucking the poly-sheets out of the frame.

Old & Battered

Bought from a market stall in Newcastle-Under-Lyme 30+ years ago. I keep thinking I will bin it, then it starts to flower in autumn and I always give it a second chance.
