Default greenhouse for a very windy spot?

I would contact several manufacturers and get them to recommend a product
suitable for your garden,if they are not prepared to make any
recommendations do not buy!

We live in extremely exposed coastal position where winds get up to 60+mph
on occasions.

We would like to erect a greenhouse sized approximately 8ft x 10ft!

Most of the bad weather i.e. strong gusting winds, come from the south

west.
Fortunately the garden is completely sheltered from that side - but almost
totally open from the east, with a stone wall about four feet high, about
three open paddocks and then a drop down over the cliff! The north and
south sides of the garden have shelter some within about 50ft in each
direction.

Is there any greenhouse on the market designed to withstand high wind

(when
the door and vents are all fully closed)? The Robinson Riviera is

promoted
as being 'built to promote the toughest weather conditions... and is
apparently 'constructed with significantly more aluminium than most other
greenhouses of a comparable size'. Is this likely to be of any use

here...?

Thanks for any help in advance,

Keith
