hi all,Wondering how many people have suffered damage caused by the storm we are suffering at the moment,i came home to three windows blown out of my greenhouse after work today.gutted but there must be some of you with a lot more bad luck than i have had,On way home between dundee and perth there is a lot of damage to the hundreds of commecial polytunnels on the journey home,strawberry growers along this stretch must be suffering by the look of the carnage.this will no doubt push up the price of their produce.to all those with blowaways,,good luck and i will post back to you if it ends up in my garden.

If your greenhouse does start to blow away, you may have to Klingonhttp://norm-foodforthought.blogspot.com/
If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if you ain't going to eat it, don't kill itComment

Stayput blew in. Two panels on the side. There's me congratulating myself that I have no blowaways now to blow away.

despite leaving my lourve wide open and door open my greenhouse stayed put. Glad, as previously in the bad winds, a pane blew out and also decapitated one of my chickens!Comment

Probably why it stayed put Chrismarks.Originally posted by chrismarks View Post
In places prone to hurricanes and tornadoes, one of the things you do when one comes along is open a window a little. That way when the wind gets in it has a way out again. Saves a lot of roofs from blowing off.

Hi MrMagoo
I'm in Angus so not far from you and there are lots of branches and trees down and still some areas without power. My small polytunnel is a casualty, it is now leaning at an uncomfortable angle to the East. I went in this morning at 7am to try and rescue some of my strawberries. Don't know if I will be able to straighten it up, will have to wait until i have time at the weekend. However, on the whole, I think it has clung on to the planet quite well because at one point last night I could hardly stand up and thought I would be landing in someone else's garden.
The power was amazing!!

Power went off yesterday evening here in Wester Ross, still not back on. Have lost 6 incubating indian runner duck eggs
Greenhouses OK luckily since panes have been blown out before, but one rhododendron flattened.Comment
