Project collapse

We loved to have early greens... until... one day came on with a few special seconds...

That looks more like a project restart to me.

I wouldn't like early greens after that either! Try building the greenhouse with bricks next time.

Two sarcastic comments in one post....I'll stop now. In all seriousness sorry to see that. Hope the rebuild goes well and you are finished before next spring.

That's happened not this year, but in 2015. It was lifted off by the wind, rolled over through the road and thrown onto my neighbour's land. This greenhouse was equipped with the 4 anchors made of concrete. They worked well several years, but didn't help this time.

Looks like a nice little green house. I keep thinking about one, but never seem to get to it......

Wind is a *****... on campus a few years ago.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Yeah, this is exactly what i wanted to say.
