ADDITTIONAL:  IF YOU HAVE A POLYCARBONATE GREENHOUSE WITH GLASS CLADDING ON ROOF ONLY 

 

If you have a Polycarb/glass design, where 3mm glass is used on the roof of the greenhouses and Polycarbonate is used on the 
side walls of the greenhouse.  The fitment of the glass to the roofing is different. 
 
The C shaped stainless steel band clips (shown in the picture below ) are used to secure the panes of glass to the roof bars.  Also 
the overlap clips (as shown on page 21 are used where the glass sheets overlap themselves)
