I think i had the day off work to clear it all up and it certainly taught me a few lessons about having enough ballast !

I can laugh about it now but I've had the runner bean frame and two cloches in place for a few weeks to study wind impact.  Both are holding up very well.

We live at the top of a hill, and boy don't you know it.  The wind actually sheared the heads of the screws holding a hanging basket.   Shocked

pete was just about spot on with the kite effect and the wind definitely gets up under the covers. if it gets really bad now, i stand more big pots (of spring bulbs) in front and at the sides to provide a bit of shelter at the base.

I've got plenty of spare metal tubes to create groovy things with but gave up with the gazebo idea incase it ended up over the hedge lol

mine at home are up against a wall, and i have a rope fixed to the wall, and the fence on the other side.  They dont move an inch.

I would in the abscence of a wall use four good fence posts and rope the little blighter all the way round, using a shackle fixing for easy access to your plants, and hopefully they wont grow down under !

Good luck
