Product Information

Full details

The Garland Greenhouse Extender Fixing Clips (ALIPE25) are designed for greenhouse owners and gardeners looking to effectively secure insulation or shading materials within their structures. The primary benefit of these clips is their ability to maintain a precise air gap between the greenhouse glass and your insulating material, which is critical for maximizing thermal efficiency. While these clips provide a robust and secure hold, it is important to note that they are specifically engineered for aluminum greenhouse channels and may not be compatible with wooden or non-standard frame types.

FAQs

Can I use these clips on a wooden greenhouse?

No, these clips are specifically designed to lock into the metal channels found in aluminum greenhouses.

How many clips are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 individual extender fixing clips.

Why is the air gap important?

The air gap provides a thermal break, which is essential for trapping heat during winter and reflecting light/heat during summer.

Are these clips reusable?

Yes, they can be removed and reused if handled carefully during the seasonal takedown process.

Do I need special tools to install them?

No tools are required. The system is designed for manual installation by twisting and pressing.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not fit in the frame channel

Verify that your greenhouse frame is standard aluminum; the clips are not intended for wooden or custom-profile channels.

The clip feels loose after installation

Ensure the extender base was twisted a full 90 degrees to lock firmly into the aluminum groove.

Material is tearing around the clip

Check that the washer is positioned correctly and avoid pulling the insulation material too tight when securing it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates an essential thermal barrier gap
  • Durable and reliable locking mechanism
  • Simple twist-and-lock installation
  • Specifically designed for standard aluminum frames

Cons

  • Not compatible with wooden greenhouse frames
  • Limited to use with specific aluminum channels
  • Pack size may require multiple purchases for larger greenhouses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your greenhouse frame has the standard aluminum glazing channel. Twist the base of the extender into the channel until it feels firm. Once the material is positioned, press the clip component through the washer and the material, snapping it into the base. For long-term care, occasionally check that the clips have not loosened due to thermal expansion or contraction of the frame. If you are taking down your insulation for the summer, store the clips in a dry container to prevent any oxidation and keep them organized for the following season.
