Clip mounting:
The greenhouse film is placed on an aluminum clip, then a 2.3mm plastic-coated spring is inserted into it with a smooth movement. After that, it is necessary to loosen the film tension and make sure that the spring fits completely into the profile. No piece of spring should protrude beyond the clip. When cutting the film (after installing it), you must leave 5-10 cm of margin outside the clip.
Removing the mount:
Using pliers or a screwdriver, it is necessary to free one of the ends of the spring and gently pull it out of the profile. The operation takes a few seconds.
