Sorry Peter unable to supply photos, but i dont think my request was worded clearly. What i am looking for are two of the wheels which are fixed onto all aluminium greenhouse doors and run on the rail which is fixed to the greenhouse frame.

Hello Darrenc
Try Two Wests. They do a lot of greenhouse accessories and I noticed these in their new catalogue:

Hope this helps.

All?
Last time I went through it my greenhouse door had ; one full height hinge, one standard type handle with catch, no wheels.

I have seen such wheels in a Garden Centre somewhere round Shrewsbury, I think it could have been Percy Thrower's GC which is still running.I may still have a packet that I bought in case I needed them.
I have fitted duplicate doors to both ends of my greenhouse to allow full ventilation as they are covered with large plastic mesh.I used a kit from Do-It-All for parts. If you cannot buy the wheels seperately some sliding door kits include them. One can only keep looking.

Cheers Allan, but the Harrods Hort catalogue has just landed on my doormat and they sell them and very nice they look too. I can now get on with putting up a greenhouse solely for propagation so i am not forever juggling space in the tunnel and my other greenhouse.

Well done Darrenc.
I make use of my 25x10 almost entirely for propogation. They then move on to cooler places to harden off, such as a 'flowhouse' with net sides.
