Need new greenhouse door!

Hi guys,

We inherited a greenhouse when we moved into our new house and the door's two rollers at the top have broken to we have to manually put it on every day!

I assume it's a pretty generic size, so was wondering if you have recommendations on where to pick one up from reasonably?

Many thanks
Sam

    Can the rollers be replaced rather than the whole door?

    This is an option Sir, can't remember if they are bolted or welded in. If so, (will check when home) just a local garden centre or more specialist?

    A quick search on froogle/google product search showed wheel kits for around £5 - same with ebay. If you have a good local garden centre I would imagine they would stock similar kits. Our greenhouse was built before I was born so luckily we've only had to replace some of the glass.

    brilliant, thanks so much. Will give it a spin.

    Yes, we have a few broken pains, assume measurements and a local glaziers will sort that at a minimal cost. Think it's just metal clips to hold in too!?!

    Yeah, W Clips to pin the panes to the frame & Z Clips to hold the panes above one another.
