Greenhouse Wiggle Wire Spring

greenhouse wiggle wire (greenhouse zigzag), commonly known as wiggle wire spring or Zigzag wire, is an economical and easy way to install greenhouse coverings, including polyethylene film, insect nets and shading screen to a greenhouse structure.
Wiggle Wire spring is widely used together with Lock channel.

Brief Introduction

Greenhouse wiggle wire, also known as wiggle wire spring or greenhouse zigzag, is a critical structural component in modern polyfilm greenhouses. Wiggle wire spring Designed to secure polyethylene (PE) film or mesh covers tightly to the greenhouse framework, it ensures a stable, weather-resistant seal while allowing for easy installation and adjustment. This greenhouse wiggle wire plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal environmental conditions for crops by preventing film damage, air leakage, and water infiltration.

Specification

Design of greenhouse zigzag

Wiggle wire is a flexible, galvanized steel wire with a wavy or coiled “wiggle” pattern, giving it spring-like elasticity.
The diameter of greenhouse zigzag typically ranges from 2.5 mm to 4 mm, with the wave pitch (distance between peaks) designed to fit standard greenhouse gutter or purlin profiles.

Key Functions of greenhouse zigzag

Film Tensioning: The wiggle wire’s elasticity allows it to stretch and secure the film tautly across the greenhouse frame, preventing sagging or flapping in wind.
Quick Installation: wiggle wire spring Fits into pre-installed “wiggle channels” (U-shaped metal or plastic tracks) along the greenhouse’s rafters, gutters, or sidewalls. The wire is inserted into the channel, where its wave pattern locks the film in place without tools (though a “wiggle wire tool” may speed installation).
Adjustability: wiggle wire spring Can be re-tensioned or replaced easily, making it ideal for seasonal film changes or repairs.

Installation of greenhouse zigzag

Installation Steps of wiggle wire spring

Attach wiggle channels (pre-drilled or snap-fit) along the greenhouse frame where the film edge will lie.
Lay the film over the frame, ensuring it extends beyond the channel edges.
Insert the wiggle wire into the channel, pressing it down to secure the film. The greenhouse wiggle wire’s waves grip the film and channel simultaneously.

Replace When Necessary: Galvanized greenhouse zigzag typically lasts 5–10 years; replace sooner if corrosion is visible.

Additional Uses of greenhouse wiggle wire

greenhouse wiggle wire Securing insect netting, shade cloth, or thermal blankets to the greenhouse frame.
greenhouse wiggle wire Temporary installations for seasonal crops or event structures (e.g., agricultural fairs, pop-up nurseries).
Greenhouse wiggle wire Commonly used in single-span or gutter-connected greenhouses with PE film covers for crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, leafy greens, and flowers.
