ABSTRACT:
A drip stop spacer spaces a roof or wall covering such as sheet plastic from purlins or other frame members of a greenhouse. An elongate elastic cylindrical helix is formed of a length of helical chord of flexible material with chord depth dimension in the radial direction of the helix selected to achieve a desired spacing between a covering and frame members. The helix diameter is sufficient to place the helix in turns around the frame members with lead or pitch between turns of the helix selected to prevent sagging contact of the covering against frame members. The spacer elements can be installed by twisting or winding around the purlins without requiring removal of frame members. Condensation flowing down the covering bypasses the purlins and purlin dripping is avoided.
