Shading And Clips

About Our Greenhouse Shading and Clips

Ensure your plants thrive even in the height of summer with our comprehensive range of Greenhouse Shading and Clips. Excessive heat and direct sunlight can quickly scorch delicate leaves, turning a productive growing season into a disappointment. Our collection helps you regulate temperature and light levels effectively, whether you are growing in one of our popular Small Greenhouses or a larger commercial structure.

We stock high-quality solutions for every gardener, including UV-stabilised Greenhouse Shade Netting, easy-to-apply Greenhouse Shading Paint, and robust Greenhouse Shading Clips. Designed for longevity and ease of use, our fixings feature a simple "twist-and-lock" mechanism that secures netting firmly to standard aluminium channels. With prices starting from just £14, protecting your crop is an affordable investment. Plus, many of our clips serve a dual purpose—holding up shading in summer and bubble wrap insulation in winter, giving you year-round utility.

Choosing Your Greenhouse Shading

Selecting the right shading depends on your specific crop needs and greenhouse type.

Frequently Asked Questions about Greenhouse Shading and Clips

• Why do I need greenhouse shading?

  Shading prevents internal temperatures from soaring and protects plants from leaf scorch caused by direct sunlight. It creates a diffused light environment that promotes healthy growth rather than heat stress, which is essential for crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.

• What is the difference between shading paint and netting?

  Shading paint is applied to the glass and offers constant protection that you wash off later. Netting is flexible; you can clip it up or take it down daily depending on the weather. Netting can also be used internally to create a thermal barrier.

• Do these clips fit all greenhouses (Vitavia, Elite, etc.)?

  Yes, our standard twist clips and spacers are designed to fit the glazing channels of most standard aluminium greenhouses, including Vitavia, Elite, and Halls models. They insert into the channel and twist 90 degrees to lock securely in place.

• Can I use these clips for winter insulation?

  Absolutely. The same Greenhouse Shading Clips used for netting are perfect for securing bubble wrap insulation during colder months. This versatility helps you maintain a frost-free environment, especially if you are using Greenhouse Heaters.

• How much does greenhouse shading cost?

  Our range is designed for all budgets, with essential clips and fixings starting from £14. Complete shading kits and premium netting options range up to £99. For larger setups, we also offer a Greenhouse Installation Service to help you get everything perfectly fitted.
