Robinsons Greenhouse Help!!!

Post by Bill »

A mate of mine has brought one of Ebay but in the middle of erecting it has found that some of the horizontal plastic H bars are missing. Robinsons no longer supply them, he has found one company but they will only supply him with 3,000 and won't tell him who they supply them to, he needs 50.

This is what he is looking for they are 2 foot long.

Bill, they're called "muntins", which might help you track them down. I believe you can buy long lengths and cut them to size.

Those look exactly right! I've bought from them in the past, not entirely successfully. I ordered a cold frame described as polycarbonate, but it was polypropylene on arrival. The guy took it back and gave me a refund and I notice that those cold frames are now described as polypropylene :)

Hi, Bill.

What size glass do they fit 3mm or 4mm.

Will post photo of ones I got a long time ago from the Unique Glasshouse people near Oldham. Not sure if they are still there. They uses to make a Venlo type commercial glasshouse.

I am looking to find some but not at that price each.
