Portable Greenhouse - Replacement Cover Needed

16 years ago

The plastic cover for my portable greenhouse is falling apart and needs to be replaced. The sticking point is I have no brand, model, or manufacturer information. Any ideas where/how I can find a replacement? There's a picture here in case you think you might recognize it:

Any and all ideas welcomed with thanks!

Ah, unfortunately they don't. I've also tried Charley's and All Greenhouses without luck. It must have been a really obscure Chinese company or something to not have any identifying marks on it.

It looks like a wider lower version of the ones they carry now. I have one. You could contact that manufacturer and see. Otherwise I'd just get some greenhouse plastic and bodge something :)

You might try calling Roger at J R Johnson's greenhouse supply - its off of County Road C and 35W. It is wholesale only, but he's somewhat pliable. At any rate, he may be able to tell you how to go making your own from greenhouse plastic. The plastic I get from JohnsonÂs for my hoophouse is rated for 48 months and it would probably work for yours with some adaptions.
