GREENHOUSE BASE ANCHOR

Are greenhouse base anchors really necessary? The Greenhouse seems heavy enough without it.

Screwed mine down to the bricks. 8x6. Wouldn't want to risk it in very strong winds.

i cemented my greenhouses (3) on top of breeze blocks laid flat 2 high ,

then cemented the greenhouse base to the breeze blocks with building sand and cement at

 the rate of 4 sand to 1 cement ,

they been in situ for 3 yrs now ,

the wieght of the glass alone should be heavy enough , 

levelled the green house with peices of roof slate ,

1 piece at each corn and in the centers of all 4 sides ,

ABSOLUTELY necessary or you could find it blowing away/ over-- even if you think it is far too heavy, trust me this can happen  :ohmy: :ohmy:
