Another plastic green house disaster!

One of the dudes on our allotment has anchored his by building a little "fence" around it (posts driven into the ground) that comes about halfway up the sides of the greenhouse, and then used webbing straps looped over the top of it to hold it down. The seams have been reinforced with some good old gaffer tape and it seems that they're staying put...

I only have room for one of the very small plastic greenhouses & the first one I had did indeed take off in heavy wind complete with seedlings, pots & trays one year but since then I've always anchored it down with a brick or two in the bottom. It's now sited on the patio in a corner next to the fence & wall so is protected a little. They don't last very long though, the weather gets them one way or another, I've just bought a new cover for mine as the sun seems to have caused the plastic to deteriorate & drop out from between the webbing. Lasts a few years but probably more economical in the long run to spend on a glass/aluminium/wood one if you have the room.

Are we allowed to name names?? I've bought four of these this year, the first was from focus, got it half price and it's been superb, but it is against the south wall of the house. I bought 2 from Pound Stretcher, again no problems and good value at a tenner but not as tall as I would have liked (the focus one is better).

Finally spent £30 on a walk in one from B&Q.. what a waste of money, not deep enough to take 2 seed trays, the guy rope points have broken and the seams have gone next to the zips...

On the plus side the framework stayed together and is now used as staging in my £40 ebay greenhouse, so it wasn't a total loss
