Hmmm....... I love radishes. Hope you can rebuild before any of the veggies are damaged.

I don't think this greenhouse is restorable. It is too much damaged and already dismantled. Actually we were using it to grow tomatoes after radishes. But we have another one, smaller and will keep using it. Early in spring we'll sow radishes, later cucumbers. Tomatoes may be grown at the open air in our climate conditions.

It was a rental for the university. When it took off, it cleared everyone's head. If I remember correctly, no one was hurt. It just stood it up on it's side and the pine trees caught it.

Does not look like it was secured at all... Now they remove some bricks and pound long spikes into the brickyard.

Thanks God, no one was hurt. Looks like after tornado.

I've seen someone using plastic barrels filled with water attached to the frame work to keep them from flying away. Or you could fill the barrels with dirt and have raised planters!

All is possible. Just always better 'think twice' like English speakers are used to say, before making a decision.

Problem is lazy pays off right now. Work pays off?.......

Instead of adding weighted containers or cement blocks to hold your greenhouse, or any other outdoor shelter, down it is much better to use auger anchors. Ones like these, Amazon.com: ShelterLogic 4-Piece Auger Anchor Kit, 3-Inch: Sports & Outdoors, are relatively inexpensive and have a lot more holding power than even a hundred pounds of cement. Northern Tool also sells them in a set of four.

These should be the best ones. I've never seen such.
