this is getting beyond a joke John have you explored the possibility of using plastic sheeting that couldn't plastic be more flexible to withstand the strong winds? because you're going to have find something robust enough instead of to keep buying glass every time you get strong winds damaging the greenhouse just a thought

I hadn't realised you'd been hit by another storm. So sorry to hear about the ongoing difficulties you have with greenhouses

It's very demoralising. The plan is to strip out the glass, repair the frame and see how it looks before re-glazing. If the frame isn't right then think  again, Maybe it's time to cut back to the smaller Eden greenhouse.
