Lockstrip Profile & Wiggle Wire Kit — Greenhouse Plastic & Shade Net Fixing System

Secure Your Greenhouse Covering — No Sagging, No Tearing, No Wind Damage

Keep your greenhouse plastic sheeting or shade netting drum-tight and weatherproof with our professional-grade lockstrip profile and wiggle wire fixing system. Used by commercial growers and hobby gardeners alike, this is the same channel-and-wire method trusted across the agricultural industry to secure covers to tunnel frames quickly, securely, and without punching a single hole in your plastic.

The aluminium lockstrip channel fastens permanently to your greenhouse frame, purlins, or baseboards. Simply lay your plastic or shade net over the channel, press the wiggle (zigzag) wire in on top, and the wire locks the material firmly into the channel groove — creating an even, wrinkle-free tension along the entire length. When it's time to replace your cover, just lift the wire out and swap the sheeting — no cutting, no re-drilling, no wasted material.

Why growers choose lockstrip and wiggle wire over batten strips or cable ties:

• Even tension across the whole panel — eliminates flapping, ballooning, and wind lift
• No punctures in your plastic, which means no tear points and a longer-lasting cover
• Reusable system — replace torn or UV-degraded plastic/net in minutes
• Works on straight runs, ridges, gable ends, doors, vents, and sidewalls
• Withstands high wind loads when properly installed
• Suitable for greenhouse plastic (UV-stabilised poly film), shade netting, insect netting, and windbreak netting

Installation / How to Fit Lockstrip and Wiggle Wire:

1. Fix the lockstrip channel securely along the frame using Tekscrews or bolts at regular intervals.
2. Lay your greenhouse plastic or shade net over the channel, pulling it taut and square.
3. Starting at one end, press the wiggle wire down into the channel through the plastic/net, working along the full length.
4. Trim excess covering once the wire is fully seated.
5. To replace covering later, simply lift the wire out, remove the old material, and repeat with new sheeting.

Whether you're fixing a new tunnel or replacing storm-damaged covering, this kit gives you a fast, permanent fixing solution that holds up season after season.
