Default Greenhouse question

Hi,

I just bought a 6*6 greenhouse from Argos and it came with a steel
base. However the instruction for the metal plates that use to connect
the base and the ground is first dig 4 deep holes in the ground and
attached the plates to the 4 corners of the steel base, then greenhouse
goes on top.

I went to Wickes yesterday trying to find some smaller metal plate to
connect the corners of the steel base but nothing fit!

My problem is because i am not putting my greenhouse on the grass/soil,
and i am planning put it on my paving. So it is possible of not using
the base at all and just leave my greenhouse on my paving? Any advice
welcome/


Use a hacksaw to cut off the anchor parts of the corner connectors. That
was the recommendation for our greenhouse if placing on paving.

Or you could remove the four paving slabs that lay under the four corners &
fix with cement mix in the holes and cut/refit paving or infill with gravel
?
Or cut 4 holes out of the paving, remove soil ,slot in greenhouse & backfill
with cement mix.

Or as already suggested remove anchor points and fix with screws through
base into paving.
