The Bootstrap Farmer Greenhouse U Channel Lock is a 6.5-foot aluminum alloy channel designed to securely hold greenhouse plastic or shade cloth in place. It's rust-free, maintenance-free, and mounts easily to wood or steel. Priced at $20.00 (compare at $39.99), it's an affordable solution for your greenhouse construction.
Position the channel against the greenhouse frame (wood or steel) where you want to attach the covering. Pre-drill holes through the channel and into the frame, then secure with self-tapping screws (screws not included). Insert the plastic and lock it in with spring wire (not included).
Measure the perimeter of your greenhouse. The U Channel is installed in continuous lengths along the edges. Plan to have enough to cover all sides. It's better to order a little extra to account for corners and cuts.
Works with greenhouse plastic or shade cloth up to 20 mil. Fits standard wood and steel greenhouse frames.

This U channel lock is exactly what I needed to secure my greenhouse cover. The aluminum is thick and durable, and the 6.5ft length covers a lot of ground. Install was straightforward.
Works well for holding down the plastic film. It's a bit pricey even on sale, but the quality is decent. After a few months, I noticed some surface rust, but nothing major.
I was worried about my greenhouse film flapping in the wind, but this U channel keeps everything secure. I've had it up for a season and it hasn't budged. Great investment.
The channel itself is fine, but it didn't come with screws, and finding the right size was a hassle. Once I got it mounted, it works as expected.
It's a simple product but does its job. I used it to attach my greenhouse plastic along the base. The price was good compared to other options. Would buy again.
This U channel is long and strong. The aluminum feels premium. I used it on two greenhouses and it works perfectly. Highly recommend.
The channel was bent during shipping, so it didn't sit flush against my frame. I had to straighten it out, which was a pain. Not the best experience for the price.
This is a sturdy U channel. It's easy to cut and install. The only downside is that it's not painted, so it might show wear over time. But for the price, it's a good buy.
