      Hi Colin,

      Well the greenhouse base comes with soil anchors then we used Postcrete around them to help sercure them.

      Well done Nigel, what a great start. Can I just ask how you have fastened down your polycarbonate green house.

          The council I believe cleared it all down and then placed weedkiller down twice I was told then it was ploughed 3 times in total,we are finding new growth of brambles but when we see them we dig them out the best we can.

            The clearing seemed to be a joint effort between the council and ourselves IE: we cleared what they didn't or forgot to do (Long story) lol

            Funny you should mention about the fencing because just behind that they will be building 3-4 bedroom houses next year so right behind our fence they will be placing another 6-7ft solid fence

            Did you clear it all too, or did the council do that before you got it? Good fencing, should keep the vandals out.

              Lots of postcrete I hope wouldn't want it to blowaway after all that effort. It looks like 4mm double poly if so thats quite flexible. Fortunately mine are slide in panels (not clips) but I still used some specialist silicone to make sure they were secure.

                      Hi Nigel,
                      I put mine in with silicone, just standard clear variety , that was 3 years ago and haven't had a panel blow out yet (famous last words ) just put plenty on each edge

                      Add to the comments though, fantastic start you've made there.

                            Nigel I used Dow Corning 794 Glazing silicone purpose made for PVCu, wood, aluminium and polycarbonate.

                            Cheapest place is Screwfix �4-33p. Your nearest St Davids Sq, Fengate, PE1 5QA and before someone asks no I don't work for them just buy my trade goods there.
