got a call this morning suggesting i pop to the allotment and on getting up there i find my greenhouse frame an a pile of twisted metal about 300ft from where it was. Out of 7 greenhouses only 2 are standing.

 :'(

At least i have the glass piled somewhere safe so i can give that to a friend who needs it.

They are forecasting very strong winds for Friday again so everyone beware.

Hi I'm new here - The winds have picked up again in the south east, and the polycarbonate sheets have blown out of my greenhouse - one gone forever  :(

So I have been out there by torchlight gaffa taping as much as I can to try to keep it in place. I've just put a heater in there and don't want the warmth escaping.

I replaced all the lower glass with kind of corregated plastic and was wondering whether I should go back to glass, or is everyone losing glass in these high winds?

I removed the glass as a lot got broke last year and I also have two small children - so I maybe I should stick with polycarbonate!
