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/
Thanks

I go along with the advice to fix your greenhouse to a brick base. I
have a 10 x 8 ft greenhouse with fairly good ridge height, which is
fixed to a 2-course brick wall and with its base. Even so, I find
myself wishing it was even higher (and bigger all round, to be
honest!) Not only does extra head height give you more room for tall
plants, shelving, etc., it also improves air flow (ventilation is
important for greenhouse plants in summer and winter). |
Thank you for everyone who repsonded. The mini green house that i have is 158cm in height and yes they are against the fence - I am planning to put my greenhouse in the exact same spot for the 2 mini green houses and put the mini greenhouse inside. I've contacted the company who sold us the greenhouse and they suggested us to cut the anchor into four pieces and use three of them as bracket and drew onto the ground. I have also bought a hacksaw today. Hopfully my husband can help me to cut them into pieces - so at least I can attached my greenhouse into the steel base... depend on how robost it is after it is completed and decide whether i will stick the base onto the concrete - even though my husband would hate this idea!!! but at least it is one step further!! Thank you so much for everyone's help!
