i needd to nail down my greenhouse its 8by6it had to go up quick so no base its on grass
so how ca n i keep it there,we get some pretty strong winds and a few have flown away its all glazed and ready to go any ideas
thanks
get some re-bar, drive it in each corner.
Get some metal tent pegs in around the base.
Alternatively, drill a hole in each corner of the frame. Insert some metal wire and bend it in half into a hole in the ground at the corner, about 1ft deep. Fill the hole with concrete, keeping the metal wire inside the concrete. Once it sets, you have four concrete weights holding down each corner of your greenhouse.
My shed is anchored using fencing pins through holes drilled in the posts which form the base. They take some hammering with a sledgehammer if your ground is stony but give a good hold. I also like the wire and concrete option posted above.
Another thing we found when it is windy is that the greenhouse flexes and twists just slightly and it is enough to let the glass start to slip. We used extra cross pieces angled between the uprights because the ones they provide with the greenhouse are never enough.
