    Does it have a big lip around the base??
    If it does then paving slabs around the outside might hold it down.

      Use heavy timber as a base and screw the greenhouse to it

        I uesd paving slabs on the plot and screwed it down also concreat ontop of the base.
        the one in the back yard I got some drive way bricks of freecycle and screwed it to them.

          Mine is weighted down with a paving slab inside each corner and sandbags either side of the longer walls. I found securing the sides was important - the first night it was up it only had the corner slabs and it bent a bit in the middle of one longer side (very high winds).
          I was feeling part of the scenery
          I walked right out of the machinery
          My heart going boom boom boom

              Depends if you want to move it or not.
              If not then I've used met post holders bashed into the ground at the corners and tied it to them. I've got a plan for a movable plastic greenhouse/shelter though as well; I've got a couple of those screw in metal things you use to attach dog leads to, I'm going to get another couple so I have 4 then put them 2 either side of the green house and tie rope over the top which will hopefully stop it blowing away and I just unscrew the metal bits when I want to move it.
