PLASTIC SAFETY GREENHOUSES were first sold nationally by DIY PLASTICS (UK) nearly 10 years ago. They use strong safe Twinwall sheeting in a specially designed aluminium framework. Full size Clearline Greenhouses come in a range of sizes up to 2960mm x 1970mm (9'8" x 6'5") with a choice of natural or green-painted aluminium frame. All greenhouse kits come complete with all framing and glazing & full assembly instructions, and there are steel bases to match if required.

Single or double Cold Frames also feature lightweight 4mmm twinwall polycarbonate safety glazing: insulation to protect young plants and light diffusion to prevent scorching.

A clever addition to the range are these Lean To Mini Greenhouses - in either 2-panel or 3-panel width, again with 4mm Twinwall glazing in aluminium framework, and again with purpose-made steel bases if required. Perfect for a patio or balcony, or to bring on seedlings or tender plants anywhere space is restricted.

GARDEN GLAZING PLASTICS include Clear SAN (high clarity, very keenly priced but still with a 5 year guarantee), Clear 4.5mm Twinwall Polycarbonate (a lightweight "fluted" sheeting similar to that used on conservatory roofs) and Corriboard an even cheaper translucent fluted material - you can even cut this one with scissors! Clear Semi-Rigid PVC is thinner flexible economy plastic sheeting supplied "off the roll".

Here are some more OUTDOOR GLAZING PLASTICS - ideal for windows, sheds, greenhouses, outbuildings, cloches, cold frames etc. etc. The comprehensive DIY Plastics range includes Clear Horticultural Acrylic - similar to Perspex or Plexiglas - economical & highly suitable for horticultural glazing. Clear Rigid PVC is Class 1 fire rated and a good substitute for Georgian wired glass in conservatory and lean-to roofing applications.

POND LINERS are made to order in a dedicated factory - each liner to your exact size or shape. Various materials include Black PVC (for ponds up to 28 square metres & warranted 15 years), Black Butyl (no size limit with a 25 year warranty) and Aquacare (up to 30.5m x 15,25m (100ft x 50ft) with NO seams or welds & a 30 year warranty). Ensure a perfect job with our Underfelt laid underneath the liner to prevent puncturing by stones, roots etc., but put away a Pond Liner Repair Kit just in case!

NEW for 2004/05 we are now listing pre formed Rediliners which are a clever aid to constructing small ponds and above-ground water features - they come either circular or rectangular, in a range of standard sizes and are fully pre-shaped and welded to ensure no leaks and no wrinkles.

GENERAL PURPOSE PLASTICS for the home & garden include ready-made Tarpaulins in tough woven mesh polythene with cord-reinforced edges and metal eyelets. Or you could make up your own using our Natural Polythene or Black Polythene with clever DIY Arro Eyelets. Clear UVI Polythene gives extra life & excellent growing properties for all tunnel greenhouses, frames, dutch lights & cloches.
