Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Uncle Joe]

As there has been a bit of discussion on the forum recently as regards covering classics when they are being stored outdoors, i thought that I would mention a way that we do it here.

We use some adjustable Plastic Joints. Between these joints we put a piece of 24 x 48mm wood, and then cover the whole thing with tarpaulins.

I've asked Rick to post some pictures so that you can all see the principle.

U.J Those are just the type of thing I need!
Are they available commercially to the U.k by any chance?

[Stuchamp]

I like that idea, its like a big tinker toy set!
Would be a lot stronger than some of these conduit frames I've seen.
These joints have a name?

[Uncle Joe]

I've only ever seen them here, and unfortunately dont have a maufacturers name or anything. One thing that I forgot to say is that they come in packs of 12.

I'll investigate with the suppliers if they are available in the UK /US, and get back to you all.

Perhaps the site where the images originally came from (above) mentions a product name of some kind?

Rick, thanks for reminding me, I'd forgotten all about this!

I just had a look on the website. All that it says is (and I'm translating for you all): For construction of for example greenhouses, sheds, sunscreens, boat covers. adjustable from 75 -180 degrees at 15 deg. intervals. For 24 x 48mm battens. Can be disassembled for reuse. 12 pack. Article 31-2578.

I am going to order some myself shortly ie when I get the time, so I will see if there is any more info there.
