    So sorry to hear that Nick, I hope they cancel your work tomorrow, sounds way too dangerous in these gales.

      Sorry to hear you've lost your greenhouse Nick. But you should be able to claim for it on insurance. Hopefully the winds will have died down by the time you get to work. Just be careful out there!

        Really sorry to hear about your greenhouse FM.

        I've planted a hedge around my vegetable patch (where the greenhouse is). When that has grown up - 5 years or so - it should help deflect the wind over my greenhouse - and that will reduce the heat loss too.

        I hope Lady Luck deals you a good hand in sorting out a new greenhouse.

          Good luck at work today, FM. Hoping they have either cancelled it, or the wind has died down.

                    Is a plastic greenhouse ok to leave out during winter?
