I've only lost one pane of glass, but my cloches took flying lessons! Only problem was they found the landing rather troublesome, and are now not very well at all. Hope the seeds I planted have not been washed away  :(

The were only used to stop the local felines from using the garden as a toilet.

we're lucky, our plot is well protected by a mature mixed hedgerow on one side and we don't get much wind. It was a bit boggy this morning though, although not as bad as some of hte other plots - and we have nothing out in the allotment as yet, it's all growing in the greenhouse.

My polycarb one almost dissapeared last winter, I had to go around knocking on neighbours doors and ask if they'd check their back gardens for my panes.  Now it is safely wrapped up in a fishing net, they sometimes still rattle loose, but are kept in place and the netting provides a little shading.

big fat 0 on me greenhouse but my mini greenhouse has lost a tier, the base had a 25kg bag of building sand on it, it ripped the base apart, the top bit went down the garden and the base still stood in its place.  :roll:

Bought a ridiculous green polycarb one which took me ages to put up. I just knew things would go wrong and so secured it as best I could. Haha. It was a mangled heap. Can anyone recommend one for under £300.
