If you had the side of a shed or a bit of spare wall space to attach it to with screw in eyes and strong cable ties. One of the old boys on my site has been doing this since his greenhouse was immolated last year and they havent budged when in use, and my site isnt isnt called "tornado alley" for nothing.to be honest at the end of the day they are not strongest of structures.

Assuming I've looked up the right thing in the Argos catalogue, I have one very much like mentioned in the first post, except mine is about 6' deep. I was given it by a kind neighbour earlier this year and having had it for a few months, I would pay to replace it if necessary in heartbeat! Mine is in a sheltered spot and I have it weighted down with paving slabs and also tied at the back with a guy rope thing. It does flap a bit in the wind but no harm done so far. It had had a good few years use before it came to me too. It gets deliciously warm inside and I've been able to grow so much more.

I think I'd agree that up to a point 'you get what you pay for' but compared to the set up costs of a 'proper' greenhouse, I think they're extremely good value, especially for someone like me who is really still a beginner.

I loved mine to bits when we had that nice weather in April! It was nestled against two walls for a bit of shelter, weighed down with bricks, pinned down with tent pega and we tied the guy ropes to our cast iron drain pipes.

But it got ripped to shreds in all that bad weather about a fortnight/three weeks ago. I was so disappointed as I thought we'd got pretty much got it covered against wind damage!

On the look out for a second hand "proper one" now instead
