Can anyone help with this. i have a aluminium greenhouse and the door
has fallen off. On inspection it slides across using two small black
wheels, appromimately 1.5 cm in diameter, with an inner wheel-believe
it or not that actually has ball bearings in it. One is broken- where
can I get a replacement- B+Q look at me as if I am an alien !

Wonderful question hope someone can supply the answer for ours as well.

AND, the draughtproofing strip which goes down the edge of the door. Ours
had gone brittle and snapped in places

Our wheels are intact but it locates int the bottom track by two small black
rectangular blocks one of which has snapped.

Is there any name plate or something of that sort to indicate the maker? If
so, that would be your starting point. Failing that, another greenhouse
manufacturer or a good old-fashioned ironmonger's shop.

Great site. Many thanks. Saw the little wheels but didn't see the door
strip, but I can always ask.

Thanks again

Not too easy when the greenhouse is second-hand and has no name plate on it

Try Focus, or Wickes, I know the stores near me do stock aluminium
greenhouse spares such as spring clips and Z clips, I did see brush strip
door edging last year on sale as a roll.

Door edging? Many thanks
Don't have a Focus or Wickes on the Isle of Wight but I do have friends all
over the country ;-))
