SHANS Greenhouse Channel & Wire, C-Channel & Spring Wire Set, Connectors Included, Greenhouse Plastic or Shade Cloth Attachment (20)

First year I built my greenhouse I tried to install plastic without this type of solution. Found the next year it was well worth the investment. Product is sturdy yet easy to bend/install over the hoop rails if needed. Easy installation and holds the plastic in tight with the provided wiggle wire. Highly recommend this.

I had never built a greenhouse before I used this in the construction of one. I had never encountered this product before. It was very easy to install and work with and secures the plastic amazingly well. Before I heard of "wiggle wire" I had considered stapling the plastic or wrapping boards around a stud and screwing them down. Ha...negative, Ghostrider. This is too easy and too secure to consider any other method of attachment I've seen for plastic on a greenhouse.

Used these for a home made greenhouse, from a repurposed tarp garage. Used carpenters clamps to secure to pipes while using self tap screws. Created a double layer for inflation. Holding up in the wind and heavy snow so far! I purchased these specifically for the internal shape that is more forgiving for multiple layers and dual wiggle wire insert.

Been there for years putting the laying hens out in the field on electric poultry netting and dealing foxes, ravens and pigeons with predation and egg and feed losses. I decided that they are going to be secure this year.So I used these wiggle wires and channel to repurpose a couple of metal garage tent frames to cover over my chicken yard. It's about 12 x 24. I surrounded the inside of the frames with 36" tall pig/cattle panels for support and ventilation and added metal chicken wire to keep the birds in. Then I put the channels about 30" up from the ground on the outside using stainless I think 1" self-tapping screws (they worked great!) Then, I cut part of the old high tunnel plastic to fit over my structure. I did shop for plastic here on Amazon and could have gotten a tarp or the reinforced plastic sheeting, but then had enough from the high tunnel.As it was against the barn wall, I only attached the plastic on that end with lumber to the barn. On the far side, I ran a couple of channels up the end frame. I screwed it in near the bottom then gradually bent the channel to contour to the pipe and screwed in as I went. It was flexible enough, but still sturdy. On that end the plastic was attached along the frame. Right now that end is closed with another cattle panel and nylon poultry netting, but eventually I want to build a wall with a door for access without having to go thru the barn. This was a low cost solution to get the chickens outside under cover with ventilation, but without the risk of predation.

Works fine, but you get what you pay for. By that, I mean the track is not quite as wide or tall as some other I have purchased in the past from a greenhouse supplier. This track seems to be a scaled down version of commercial track (see photo. Commercial track on the right, this brand on the left)Shrink-flation I guess....ahahhahaaaFor the most part, that doesn't matter unless you plan to use a single track over the end hoops for the end wall poly AND a double layer of top poly. Three layers of poly and 3 wiggle wires will not go in this track. Two wiggle wires and a couple of layers of poly and you're out of room in the track.I ran a double row over my end hoops because I also ran a double end wall poly using one track, and a double top layer poly using the other track. I inflate my end walls with a jumper hose from the top layers. If you do this, allow for buying extra track/wire for the end hoops.The plus side is the vinyl coated wiggle wire. Tends to not be as harsh on the poly as the un-coated type I've used in the past, which you have to be fairly careful not to tear the poly while inserting in the track.

Wiggle strips make it much easier to attach plastic to Greenhouse frame

I have a 30x40' greenhouse and had to replace the plastic this year. When I built the greenhouse I couldn't afford the wiggle wire and just used boards to hold down the plastic, this time I used the wire and did the whole job by myself in half a day and it looks great Being able to attach and detach the plastic to adjust it and get it the right tightness was wonderful, and no problem "double stacking" the wire in the channel on the ends where the sidewalls overlap the top, which I had been worried about. Warning though, I woke up the next day with the worst case of tendonitis due to the unusual motion of wiggling the wire back and forth to put it on and take it off, don't overdo it if you can help it.

I procrastinated for years and thought it would be a waste of money, but boy was I wrong! These rails were very easy to install once I figured out how to put on the wiggle wire it went quickly. I've already been through several hard windy days and my shade screen stays put! This product was well worth the investment.
