Product Description
Bootstrap Farmer 6.5 ft Aluminum Lock Channel (20-Pack) | U-Channel for Spring Wire, Secures Greenhouse Plastic Film & Shade Cloth
- ELIMINATE REPLACEMENT COSTS: Extruded from a single piece of aluminum alloy that will not rust or corrode in high-humidity greenhouse environments, preventing decay and the need for future channel replacement.
- PROTECT YOUR COVER FROM WIND DAMAGE: Creates a continuous, smooth contact point for spring wire, gripping film up to 20 mil thick without the sharp stress points that cause tears during installation or in high winds.
- 130 LINEAR FEET OF COVERAGE: Includes twenty 6.5-foot sections of U-channel (1.125 in. wide x 0.5 in. high profile) to fully secure large-scale greenhouse structures.
- BENDS TO FIT HOOP HOUSE ARCHES: Flexible aluminum profile conforms to curved structures and mounts directly to wood or steel end walls, baseboards, and hip boards (screws not included) for a fully sealed, draft-free environment.
- REDUCE DOWNTIME DURING FILM CHANGES: Accepts PVC-coated wiggle lock wire (sold separately) for rapid installation and removal of coverings, simplifying seasonal film swaps and protecting your crop investment from catastrophic cover failure.
Our Aluminum Lock Channel will help to ensure that your greenhouse can weather the elements and last for years. Unlike other attachment methods, Lock Channel will hold up to high winds and harsh environments. Protect your investments by using the right products. Lock channel installation prevents tears during and after installation. Lock Channel is made out of high-quality, rust and maintenance-free aluminum alloy. It is tough enough to last for years while having the flexibility to bend to the arch of your tunnel. Effortless installation with pre-drilling or self-tapping screws. Each piece is 6.5 feet in length. The channel profile is 1.25"W, 0.5"H, 1/16" thick and will hold material up to 20 mil thick. We recommend installing with PVC coated Spring Wire (sold separately).
