Yes, I lost one the same way. The new ones are far more securely anchored! Hope you get it sorted.

I lost mine also this week    - thinking of using the frame and what I can of the cover to rig up some kind of coldframe instead.

 Hi if you are going to get another polytunnel off ebay ,try and go for a one with 25mm poles.
 
 I've got  2m x 4.5m polytunnel off ebay ,the wind has given it a right battering.

 Luckily I reinforced the joints ,put extra stakes by each upright and camping pegs at the
 bottom bars ,to prevent it being blown away.

 This will be the the last year for it , as I know it would not last another stormy winter ,as
 there are several rips .

Our site is very open and incredibly windy as a result.

TThe only reason our mini tunnel has survived is because it is sheltered against the prevailing winds by next door's shed.

Other folks' are ripped and battered

anybody know or seen a 2m x 2m polytunnel? I can only find 1.5 x 2m or 2.5 x 2m
