What Is Wiggle Wire?

Introduction to Wiggle Wire in Greenhouse Structures

Wiggle wire is an essential fastening component widely used in greenhouse construction. It works together with lock profiles (commonly U-channels made of galvanized steel or aluminum) to secure greenhouse plastic film. By “wiggling” the wire into the channel, growers can achieve a tight and durable connection without nails, screws, or adhesives. This makes greenhouse wiggle wire one of the most cost-effective and practical greenhouse fastening systems.

Main Materials of Wiggle Wire

High-Carbon Spring Steel (Galvanized)

This is the most common type of wiggle wire. It is produced from high-carbon spring steel and then galvanized with a zinc coating to resist rust. Galvanized wiggle wires are strong, flexible, and capable of lasting through several film replacement cycles, making them a reliable choice for large-scale greenhouses.

PVC-Coated Wiggle Wire

This type has the same steel core but is coated with PVC. The coating provides additional protection against rust while preventing scratches on the film. Because the coating reduces friction, it helps extend the lifespan of greenhouse plastic. PVC-coated wiggle wires are particularly popular in humid or tropical climates.

Stainless Steel Wiggle Wire

Made of stainless steel, this option provides the best resistance to corrosion and is especially suitable for coastal or salty-air environments. Though more expensive, it offers long-term durability and is ideal for growers who require premium solutions.

Plastic Wiggle Wire

Plastic or fiberglass wiggle wire is lightweight and 100% rust-proof. While easier to handle, it is not as strong as steel options, so it is generally used for smaller greenhouses or lighter film coverings.

Summary of Wiggle Wire Options

Most wiggle wires are manufactured from high-carbon spring steel with zinc galvanization. Variations include PVC-coated versions for film protection, stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance, and plastic versions for lightweight handling. Each type has its own advantages depending on climate, budget, and greenhouse scale.

Advanced Greenhouse Wiggle Wire Technology

Our greenhouse wiggle wires are produced using advanced Japanese equipment and 82B spring steel, which ensures both flexibility and hardness. With UV-stabilized PE coating, the wires can achieve a lifespan of over six years. This combination of materials and technology makes them one of the most durable fastening systems available today.

Wiggle Wire Lock Profile Systems

Wiggle wire lock profiles, also known as greenhouse spring lock profiles, are designed to hold greenhouse films securely. Made from G90 zinc-coated steel or aluminum, they provide high resistance to corrosion. The scientific profile design prevents the wire and film from loosening, ensuring long-term stability.
