Need to source type of greenhouse vent fitting

[Cactus Kid]

I have a greenhouse (8x6) that was originally purchased in 2006 that I want to add more roof vents to. I have been unable to find a supplier for this particular fitting (see pics). I am not sure of the make and have tried Halls, elite and Robinsons to no avail. I am wondering whether this type is just not produced any more. Any suggestions?

My Elite uses a similar hinging method, as probably do many others, but you already tried them. Can't you find a name of the greenhouse on it anywhere? Though they do tend to use flimsy stickers that fade or become detached in time. You may be able to slide that vent out if you raise it high enough and photograph the end section to email to different greenhouse manufacturers.

Probably not very helpful but I can eliminate another manufacturer for you, it's not an Alton I have 2 of those and they are a completely different cross section.

Thanks for your comments. I am sure it used to have a sticker, but as you say, they don't last long. I have sent the pics to several places that sell different makes of of Greenhouses but none seem to be able to match it. I imagine it is an old style vent that maybe just isn't made any more

I once had a system like this. Either "Sun" (bought about 1990) or "BACO" (bought about 1975). I doubt either existed into the 2000s.

Obviously the greenhouse name would help. If it is a BACO this firm seems to stock spares.

It also says:-

"GREENHOUSE ADVICE With over 40 years experience of greenhouse assembly for all the major manufacturers we are uniquely placed to answer your queries. We prefer these by email as our phone lines are often very busy, please attach any relevant photographs or sketches. You will receive a prompt reply with all the information you need"

So if you send them your pictures they may be able to tell you what make it is and if you can still get a vent or parts to make one:-

This one stocks general aluminium parts too:-

These say they stock vents for some makes of greenhouses:-

Thanks very much Dave for your excellent links, as always.

I have contacted those that I could via email and await their reply.

I wonder would this fit your system?

Been looking for some bits and pieces myself.
