New greenhouse lasted about three weeks…


New greenhouse lasted about three weeks before being taken out by this horrible wind. It’s very sturdy and was up against a fence, I am genuinely surprised it blew over.

Luckily only one pane appears to be smashed. Lost all my seedlings though.

How would you attach this to the fence? It’s sat on patio slabs and drilling into them is absolutely out of the question.

    Screw to the fence if the fence is secure enough

    Is it perspex? Screw it to fence and add a few paving slabs the the bottom

    Have any webbing? Can screw webbing straps across the bottom to allow you to weigh it down with pacing slabs internally.

    If you didn’t secure it, it’s not secure!

  6. Few Brackets from greenhouse to the fence and a few concrete blocks round the base laid on the flat

    Always get nervous about greenhouses, have one of those pretty bad plastic greenhouses but it’s stayed together as we’ve attached it to a brick wall. Would thoroughly recommend

    Been gusting 60mph some days at my allotment for month now. Utterly ridiculous. I’ve got a popup greenhouse that got destroyed

    How many times do we see similar posted🤷‍♂️

    ANY structure in the garden needs to be hammered, locked, screwed, concreted into position otherwise you’ll wake up and it won’t be there.

    The increase in windy weather has been noticeable for more than a decade, we need to start thinking differently

    Did it not come with some wall mounts or way to secure it to a wall or fence as you get that on sheds and trestles?

    Carriage bolts into a fence post for a solid fix, few wood screws for the ever hopefull.
