and erecting it myself. It will be placed on concrete paving slabs. The
manufacturer write of anchoring down the greenhouse, what does that
entail exactly?


Thank you for all replies. I will bolt it to the 18 inch square paving
slabs.


In a gale a GH is like a large sail; for which a paving slab is a very
lightweight anchor IMHO. You really need a rigid, foursquare solid base
to hold every right angle true under wind pressure.

If it distorts evn slightly, the glass panels are likely to either
crack or pop out.
