  • Windstorm moved my greenhouse away before I could anchor it down. I was able to move it back with my pickup and some straps.

    I just watched greenhouse build video and thought to myself he better secure it to the ground. There are twist-in stakes you could use. There are some used for staking a dogleash in a yard. There are probably others. Personally, i would pour a cement wall, maybe even up to 4 feet tall which would increase your height if you want to grow taller things. Then i would fasten the structure to the cement wall. As long as it is secured down, it is definitely wind resistant. Had it been a regular rectangular greenhouse, it probably would have turned over, blown away or been destroyed. You chose a good design. You might consider putting a raised bed in the center made of brick, 3 feet, filled with dirt in order to be thermal mass that the sun can warm in the winter and be radiated back at night. Or also, black plastic containers filled with water the sun will warm. Good luck.
    Edit: just saw the home depot stake from the video in the comment below. Perfect.

      Thanks for your commend! That would be more ideal to build a 4' wall to increase the height! because I found it is already too short for my fig tree.
      I burried 15 solid concrete blocks under ground for anchors before I build this greenhouss. After it was build I thought it maybe okay without anchors. But I learned a lesson after a windy day.
      Now it has anchors all around Lol

    Now that you have it repositioned would be a good time to install some ground anchors like these: czcams.com/video/Mkvf4hTOF-A/video.html
