We are attempting to repair a second hand greenhouse and need to get hold of 3 of these aluminium brackets, ant ideas?
We dont know the make of the greenhouse unfortunately

    If you don't get any luck on here and no-one recognises what make the part comes from, send your pic to a firm that specialises in greenhouse parts, eg this one https://www.greenhousespares.co.uk/  (not a recommendation, just an example - I'm sure there are others).

    What area of the greenhouse are they holding together?
    I am sure someone will know the right name for the part. Are they a reinforcing bracket for the frame, what parts do they attach to or join?

    Failing that if you cannot find the parts, from jennyj's suggestion,  a local metal bashing company should be able to make some up for you.

    They look simple enough to make using tin snips and some sheet aluminium of the right thickness.
    Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people

    reinforcing brackets that hold the back and front to the roof. luckily we have one complete bracket so might have to make one ourselves - thank you
