Vitavia Greenhouse Glazing Retaining Clips hold overlapping glass panels together on all Vitavia greenhouse models. Sold in packs of 20, these clips bridge the overlap between two panes and stop them sliding apart.
Overlapping glazing is standard on horticultural glass greenhouses. The lower pane sits behind the upper pane, and these retaining clips lock the overlap point. Without them, wind lift can push panes apart and create gaps that let in rain and draughts.
When we fit these on site, we position each clip centrally across the overlap. The clip hooks over both panes simultaneously and holds them tight. It takes about one clip per overlap point, sometimes two on wider panes.
Retaining clips wear out over the years, especially if you reglaze regularly. We recommend inspecting them each autumn and replacing any that have lost their grip. A fresh set makes a noticeable difference to how weathertight the greenhouse feels.

A solid base is the backbone of any greenhouse. You might think skipping this step saves time, but trust me?I've seen plenty of greenhouses fail because of poor foundations. A dodgy base causes more headaches than you'd believe.
What happens with a bad base? Glass cracks. Doors jam. The structure twists. Water pools where it shouldn't. And fixing these problems costs way more than doing it right first time.

The best position for a greenhouse in the UK is south-facing with the ridge running east to west. Keep at least 2 metres from buildings and trees, on level ground with good drainage. A south-facing 6x8 greenhouse runs 3-5 degrees C warmer than the same model facing north.
