Hi, can anyone advise. We have a plastic sheet (like awning window) with eyelets which we want to attach to the gap where we have taken part of the side off hut. We want to be able to roll up and down as required. For the life of we can't work out best way to attachnir what fixings to use. Any ideas?

Start with simple things till you get a proper fix.....IDEA
Sitcky back velcro....Cheap as chips on the bay of flea's.....
Kampa limpits...You say it has the holes already......
roller binds...........
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Furnished-Daylight-Roller-Blind-Measure/dp/B00KRE27SM/ref........

Make simple wooden frame, tape / glue the window to it remove frame and window as one, when if required.

Cling ons.......eBay item number:262395262046....+......bungies...eBay item number:402321408759

Plenty more options I'm sure.......

👍👍👍....

Thanks, I've never heard of Kampa Limpets. They look like a possibility, or just plain velcro.

I need to ask.....why have you taken the panel out to start with? That gives a pointer as to how to solve your problem.

Clingon-type fixings will potentially tear the PVC after several times of rolling it up and down.

I'd sandwich the window panel between two lengths of timber (use wood screws to fasten together at several points) then screw it into position on the shed. You can then fasten your tie fixings easily to the timber batons.

Hi, to give open access to pergola area from side but still have somewhere that is open but sheltered if windy. We've used it during stormy weather and the rain doesn't get into shed but looking for a bit extra for the winter months or when the kids want to play in it. I thought when do we sit in a closed off hut? The full area has been my saviour during lockdown and has been used daily.

We have something similar. We have used a curtain pole and have attached the clear plastic sheet to the pole with shower curtain rings. We can then move the curtain aside as needed. We have also rolled the curtain up towards the curtain pole and secured with some bendy garden wire.
