You're not joking.  Went to the allotment at beginning of week to discover my shed had blown down:(   Will have to consider a replacement when we get some decent weather.

We get such strong winds here that our neighbour has tied their (metal) shed down!

No fear of ours going anywhere, it's very solid.

Mine was one I inherited when I got the allotment in November.    It wasn't very strong just made of wood and perspex.   It already had some missing perspex panels.   Was hoping to use it to grow this year's tomatoes in.

When wind gets into a greenhouse, the body of the greenhouse will behave like the sails of a kite.

I'm heading to the lottie in the next hr or so... the shed there is pretty solid (it has 2x old rotovators in, so is very heavy) but I'm fully expecting windblown dodo all over the plot. Today is a bright and sunny morning, a bit less of the wind than there was. Wish me luck...

A couple of days ago, a side window went in my greenhouse. The wind got in and blew the whole roof to bits. Luckily, there were few plants in at the time.
