The glasshouse or store has at least one ridge profile (1) with two sloping glass panels (2, 3) connecting to it, whereby the top end of a panel fits between the flanges of the ridge. A storm clamp (4) holds the panel to the ridge. The clamp comprises a piece of plate material sprung in one direction, and formed by bending and stamping out of a rectangular plate. It has two sets of upright lips (7), and each lip grips in a snap-on fashion over the lower edge of the ridge profile. This snap connection is provided by each lip having a part which is cut out and bent inwards.
