    Great news, kaz hap feet

    I'm sure you will have enormous fun with it. Make sure it is pinned down very well as there are strong winds about. :)

    Yes, I would certainly tie down well. On Thursday morning 31st March, I was having tea and biscuits in my garden, the wind was a very strong and gusting. I was beginning to get concerned regarding my newly erected greenhouse. I could not believe what I was looking at, right out of the blue another greenhouse exactly like the one on your post landed on my Veg patch. It had come over the house roof because the Guy it belonged to lived on the opposite side of the road. He had been using what looked like thin tent pegs.

    All his greenhouse work was ruined.....SO Be aware

    My son also lost one of these greenhouses a few years ago to the winds - ruined his tomatoe crop as well and just put him off gardening for a while ...

    oh my goodness thanks for the heads up, we had a heck of a wind a few nights ago and it stayed up

    like i say i know what the wind can be like a few years back the wind picked up my garage roof along with the beams and a full row of breeze blocks !!!!!!
    i plan on taking it down through the winter mind as i dont fancy it chances then !
