I decided not to go for the bargain after all..... instead I am aiming to knock up a frame using the remains of my old conservatory roof cut into shorter panels. It was triple-wall polycarbonate and I'm hoping I can fix 4 sides and a roof together using some wire and string. ::)

Elegant?  ??? Maybe not but it'll do to protect something between now and the warmth.
Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

Cripes on a bike...  >:(

Put mine up today, choosing the windiest day of course! Everything was fine until I tried to put the cover over the frame, at which point the whole thing turned into a large and unweildy kite!

I have used all the pegs, several bricks and tied the frame to the adjacent fence.

Here's hoping it is still standing when I go back to the plot...  :blush:

Also worth noting that the shelves don't quite fit to the frame, so they will need securing with twist ties or something. Still, not too bad for £20.

My solution for wind:

I have an old light-weight 3 tier plastic greenhouse. I use it to hold seed-trays of pricked out seedlings when the greenhouse is full later in the spring.

Wind was a problem!!  :wub:

I found 4 cup-hooks into a wall in pairs (2 either side) around the back edge of the greenhouse helped me secure two bungee chords (elasticised springy things used to hold luggage on car roof-racks or, in my case, on the bike trailer).

The springiness allows a bit of movement but the greenhouse isn’t damaged and stays in place where I put it. They are easy to remove so you can get to the inside when you want.

If you haven’t a convenient, sunny wall to use as an anchor I imagine it would work as well on a fence or a couple of fence posts erected for the purpose.

Just an idea that might help. ;)
