I obtained a free 6x4 greenhouse last year. Because it can only have been a cheap one in the first place there's no way of bolting the base down or anywhere to drill bolt holes to fix it to the paving I put down. I therefore staked it down a bit like storm lashing a tent because it's in a pretty exposed position. This morning I went over to the allotment to find that in the storm force westerlies we had last week here in Sussex the whole thing had been shunted two inches eastward, despite the stakes and weight of it (it's glass, not poly carbon). Thank goodness I at least staked it. I'm now thinking of filling the base area with shingle.
Did any of you suffer much damage?
I suffer a lot from wind.
Mine did the same once.
I cured it by driving angle irons into the ground and fixing to the frame in all 4 corners, but I'm not sure from what you say if this is possible.

My 40`x20` polytunnel got mullered in the high winds before Christmas. Ripped the ground anchors out and I think part of the cover is now in Scotland somewhere. If anybody finds it, can they post it back to me please. It`s kind of plasticky and large !
I`m in the process of rebuilding it !
Cest la vie !
