Wilko medium walk in greenhouse

[Gillykat]

Yeah, I'd wait until the weather calms down a touch otherwise the Roseate Terns on Coquet Island will have a new type of nesting box to lay their eggs under

Mines still sat in the living room... Really need to get my finger out and actually go and DO something over the allotment, rather than buying stuff and daydreaming....

I bought one of these as soon as I saw them. Having experienced problems with tomato blowaway growhouses, erm... blowing away... my cunning plan is to use two sturdy posts inside the greenhouse to help secure the greenhouse to the ground. The prevailing wind direction is from the W or SW and the site is sheltered from S, SE and E so two should do the job.

Going for a Wilko solution I'm using two ground screws for rotary airers Wilko Ground Screw with Inserts Grey at wilko.com to hold the two halves of this washing line post Wilko Line Post Grey 2 Piece at wilko.com . I'll then attach the two posts to the appropriate two corners of the greenhouse .

I'm also planning on spending a bit of time (once it's assembled / part-assembled) on drilling holes through the plastic junction pieces into the metal tubes and putting a machine screw through to make the frame more rigid, you could just glue them of course (which if I'm feeling bone idle I might just do).

You might be cheaper just buying a real greenhouse!

Somebody posted on here a few weeks ago about steel fencing pins.

Never ever thought about using them on my allotment but thought what a brilliant idea!. So much cheaper than a decent stake and I can think of dozens of things that I could use them for on my allotment. Or for something that will last 'forever' these are galvanised (I emailed them to ask) and free delivery over �25

How about one of these pins 2-3 feet into the ground at either corner then some cable ties (I am rather biased towards cable ties, I think my entire allotment is cable tied together, I have a huge range of lengths and widths, now I sound really sad) ?

I'm also planning on spending a bit of time (once it's assembled / part-assembled) on drilling holes through the plastic junction pieces into the metal tubes and putting a machine screw through to make the frame more rigid, you could just glue them of course (which if I'm feeling bone idle I might just do).

If you're gluing stuff then I reckon a blob of no more nails in each socket before you put the pole in would work but you probably wouldn't get it out again if you wanted to take it down.

Oh I dunno, �41 (�25 for the blowaway + �16 for the posts) seems pretty reasonable, unless you know where I could get a proper greenhouse for �40

Hmm... Now if only I could transport it and not injure myself in the process...
