Common Types of Greenhouse Fasteners and Connectors
1. Spencer Clamp
- Application: Connecting two intersecting pipes
- Material: Galvanized steel
- Advantages: Quick installation, corrosion-resistant, suitable for both light and heavy structures
2. Butterfly Clamp (Greenhouse Clamp)
- Application: Fixing pipes at intersecting points
- Feature: Can be opened and closed manually without tools
- Material: Metal with anti-rust coating
3. Profile-to-Pipe Clamp (Locking Clamp)
- Application: Connecting the locking profile to the greenhouse frame for covering installation
- Feature: Essential for fixing polyethylene films or shading nets and ensuring complete sealing
4. Hinged Joints (Articulated Connectors)
- Application: For greenhouse doors, ventilation systems, or movable parts
- Material: Stainless or galvanized steel
- Advantages: High durability and smooth movement
5. Bolts, Nuts, Washers, and Anchor Bases
- Application: Joining structural components, base plates, and roof supports
- Feature: Galvanized (cold or hot-dip) to extend service life
6. U-Shaped Ground Pipe Clamp
- Application: Securing pipes to the ground or metal frame
- Feature: Prevents structural displacement from wind or mechanical stress
7. Pipe Connectors (End Caps, Couplings, Elbows, Tees)
- Application: Joining pipes at bends or connecting to other lines
- Material: Metal or polyethylene, depending on the system (irrigation or structural)
Key Considerations When Choosing Greenhouse Fasteners and Connectors
Material: Use stainless or galvanized metals to prevent corrosion in humid environments.
Structural Compatibility: Select fasteners that match the size and shape of structural elements.
Easy and Fast Installation: Facilitates quicker assembly and reduces labor costs.
Load and Pressure Resistance: Fasteners must be selected according to the load requirements of the structure.
