Greenhouse vent hinge

Post by Stevie D »

Hi there,

Could you please help me source the component, or a suitable substitute, shown in the two pictures below?

It was taken from my parents' greenhouse, which was damaged in the high winds in February. It's (part of) the hinge from the vent window, which is what's missing in the roof of the greenhouse in the next picture. In the photo, the damaged component is still in situ. I removed it moments after taking the picture:

Miraculously, not only did the rest of the vent frame survive, but even the glass that was in it was not broken! Therefore, it's only the hinge that needs replacing. However, I don't know where to look for it or even if it's available.

Thanks for your time,

Steve

Can you not look for a complete green house vent?
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

If you know the make or the greenhouse you should be able to get a spare, but as SE said you may have to get a new vent kit.
