Default Don't buy a plastic greenhouse from the garden centre!

I had one of the smaller versions like that in my last house before I had
room for a proper greenhouse. I woke up one morning to find the frame there
but the plastic gone!! It had blown off and we found it at the very end of
the road wrapped round a lamp post and torn to shreds!!!The frame does come
in handy in my greenhouse now though in place of some staging!

I was going to buy a plastic greenhouse that I've seen for sale with
about 3 to 5 shelves in it, that is free standing to put in the garden
and take most advantage of the sun we are getting.

But then I searched all the internet shopping sites I could and found
on the Woolworths website a massive Walk-In greenhouse that takes more
than four times as many plants!

Just look at the photograph of it on my blog at

if you are interested.


I'm wondering how such a thing would have fared in todays very gusty
winds. It looks very lightweight. How would you secure it?
