That could’ve been disastrous,something else to watch for on windy days,good that you didn’t get hurt. When you’re gardening your in a peaceful mindset & then suddenly that happens,unexpected shock,hopefully it won’t happen again,ever.

I hope they’ve secured their polytunnel now,it’s good there was no damage,must’ve been scary for a minute seeing that coming over.

At the moment the cover is off, so there is no danger of a repeat. It was very scary. particularly as I had been squatting down trimming grass edges exactly where it landed a little earlier in the day. It all happened very quickly and I would have had no chance of getting out of the way! The problem with those small polytunnels is that they have a door at one end but no way out at the other. A strong gust of wind from the direction of the door simply hits the back of the cover and takes the whole thing with it. The fact that the frame was weighed down by 4 large concrete blocks made no difference - they simply came over the fence with the tunnel. I have seen this happen to my brick garage so I know how powerful wind is and how futile it is to try to peg large things down.

I need to sow a lot of different things over the weekend & get the blowaway out the shed for all the little plants.
