I am really in two minds if to check the other panels and if any are loose, then remove them, tidy them up & re-install them with Stixall. What is everyone's opinions on this?

I had a fight with my polycarbonate glazed greenhouse through last years storms. My panels are captivated in grooves in the frame. I have added some extra strengtheners and also added a run of mastic around the sheets. This is the first time I have seen a greenhouse that uses just glue as a means of securing the sheets. If you have had the strong winds that we have had over the last week it will have tested your work. Hope you have it sorted. Jim.

Thank you Ali. I will be installing them back in next weekend when I have all the panels. I don’t want to leave one off as it might leave space for another gust of wind to take off the other panels.

Hi I have riveted all my panels in and its gone through so manybdtorms with no ptobs. Its quite a cheap way of doing it once you have the tools but you can get a riveter from ebay for about a fiver I used a 5mm drill to do the holes. Best thing I ever done

We have a riveting tool in work, I might see if I can use it to do the panels when I put them back in.

Not good when wind causes damage to your plot .you can just use good old clear silicone do your frame put your twin wall in then run another bead of silicone on to of the twin wall so it touches twinwall and frame hope you understand what I mean

Thank you for the advice Mark, I will do that with the Stixall as it is a sealant and adhesive.

Are the greenhouse panels clipped in or should I say did they clip in at some time, my greenhouse is glazed with the same doubled walled material and it is held in with clips, I have done the same as you and put a bead of silicon around them. All the best Wayne.

Unfortunately I am not able to clip it in, my greenhouse doesn’t have the piece of metal which is needed to install the clips. I will show it in the next video when I am fitting the panels.

I hate to be a doommonger but if you seal those panels in with stixall you will have the devil's own job if you ever want to remove them to replace them. I used a continous bead of stixall to fix lights into a coldframe, and when a light was cracked by a falling branch in a storm I couldn't get it out! Can I suggest you 'dot' the stixall onto to the frame to stick the panels, and not a continous bead. Seal the outside face with clear silicone.

I never thought of that and seeming that I would like to replace it all one day with clear Perspex instead of twin wall, I will be dotting it instead of a continuous bead.
