Hi,

Does anyone have or know where I can get a little bit of ali "U" channel? I only need a little bit to hold the areoscreen at each side.

Cheers

Abracadabra
Is item 233 the sort of thing?

Homebase/B&Q/DIY sheds stock it. Saw some in Focus the other day. IIRC it was in 2.5m lengths

I need some as well my local B&Q did not stock the single 5mm aluminium "U" channel required, only 7mm and 10mm. Maybe I will try Homebase or Focus ?.

However seems stupid to buy 2m when you only need about 20 or so centimetres.

Want to split the cost Northy ? I'll be working in York middle of next month for a few days so could meet you to deliver collect ?

Sounds like a good idea. Who's gonna go looking for it?

Cheers

I guess that depends on who needs it first. I am a little way off fitting the screen. However if you are in the same situation I am currently doing DIY around the house so won't be any trouble to grab some in one of our local DIY establishments.

Let me know

As you can see from my Avatar there's still plenty of other things to do, so no rush.

I won't be near any DIY places during the next week, so if you get chance, can you look for some? Keep in touch with how you get on, I'll be able to look for some next weekend.

Cheers

I should be going to some sort of DIY place this week - let you know.
