blowaway world record greenhouse lives to tell the tale

[pagan dreams]

hi all being pretty new here i recently saw quite a bit on walk in plastic greenhouses,a.k.a blowaways and the reputation they have.well a little wilkingsons blowaway i have here has survived something that many others have not and thats windspeeds of 75 mph plus,last night saw some pretty terrifying winds here almost reaching 80 mph at times it even toppled my 6x4 aluminium greenhouse frame that is waiting for siting,however the blowaway took a pounding and did not shift an inch.its only pegged down and guyed out and weighted with rocks.if any one has one of these, tip is to use the foot long marquee pegs all round,as many as u can obtain and strong guy ropes.so far this is the only blowaway that i know of that became a stayput and lived to tell the tale not bad for a 2 year old greenhouse.if any one has one that has survived windspeeds of this nature or any other act of nature please comment and lets see if any blowaways earn the stayput medal

We have a few blowaways and they're attached to the fence. They go nowhere. They rattle about a bit and one mangaed to work it's poles free once causing the shelving to collapse, but generally they struggle though. We have a walk in on the plot which has collapsed 2 years running in the autumn gales. Our site is very exposed though and this year, despite adding strengthening poles, we forgot to dig the skirt in which really didn't help. The other big problem with them is the covers only last 2 maybe 3 seasons.
Sooner or later you start to consider the possibilties of buying a proper, grown up, stay put...

ive noticed the cover has started to break down in places the mesh outlasts the poly.mines done so well i think it deserves a new cover next year to be used as a tomato house.
