Total destruction last night :(

[MarkHackwell]

Went to the Allotment yesterday and put my onion plants in a polycarbonate greenhouse which has stood about 2 winters, go today and this is where the Greenhouse stood totally gutted!!! the winds definitely took there toll last night

Was there a photo?

How awful for you . Wind is horribly destructive. A few years ago it managed to demolish my brick garage, ripping off the roof and hurling the lot into my newly planted back garden.

At least if it was polycarbonate you won't be dodging lethal shards of glass for years, but that's not much comfort I'm sure.

Mark you must be gutted are any parts salvageable ?

[Nicos]

Oh no...(I dreaded checking up outside this morning after all the wind we'd had....we were very lucky) - I'm really sorry to hear about your greenhouse.

Is any of it rescuable???
(I had a look at your blog half expecting to see the piccie on there to check out the damage but there isn't one)

Is there anything you could do to prevent the same thing from happening again????

Morning All

That was a night that was!

Firstly I hope everyone is safe? Been out and checked the garden and all seems OK but I can see a few gaps in the tree line across the fields. Will go and check the allotment out later but the worse that can have happened is material loss and that's replaceable.

I hope no one suffered too much damage

I'm sorry to hear that.

Sounds like you're having horrible weather there just as you were all looking forward to getting into the swing of Spring gardening.

Mother Nature definitely makes gardening a challenge sometimes.

Bad news if it's completely trashed

Just one pane popped on the polycarb greenhouse, so far. The wind seems to be easing down early(unless this is the eye of the storm!)

Sorry to hear that Mark
Was there a photo?

Just posted photo's showing what it looked like and what happened to it. I didn't move the thing at all, it just blew onto the rubbish heap which is next door to my plot

[Lisasbolt]

Sorry Mark, i do not really know what else to say.

[bearded bloke]

Oh bugger Are there enough bits to makes a cloche to protect your seedlings ?

[Nicos]

Ouch...it really did get trashed didn't it.

Can you use some of it as runner bean supports or something...or maybe covers for hotbeds or cold frames?

[muddled]

I'm so sorry Mark....what a horrible sight for you this morning.

Our garden is destroyed....but that's okay we were redesigning anyway, its a real blank canvas now (once we pick up all the debris)
I haven't the courage to go to the plot yet!

If I were you Mark, I would collect all you can find of your greenhouse. Straighten what you can, sort and count the panes.
Lots of people will be in the same predicament as you this morning. Those whose frames are trashed will have panes to barter....those with salvageable frames will need panes.
Time to have a strong cuppa and sort out which applies to you.

Apparently we've another round of gales coming through tomorrow.....

[SlugLobber]

Aw, I'm so sorry Mark. I'm only up the road (Dorking), so know how bad it was around here.

Sorry that this happened Mark, we were lucky but two houses to our right have fences and gates down. Unfortunately this was because they didn't repair he previous fence losses..
Chin up, see what you can salvage
