Yes I am Sandra, that is until the wind last night decided to separate all my staging and a lot of the plants ended up on the floor ! Luckily they are all safely back in their pots now ! I have wired all the staging together now, but a little bit of the plastic has split near the door ! It is in a sheltered spot , but the strong winds just swirl around everywhere ! I'm keeping my fingers crossed now !

What is your fence like behind it,? If it's a slatted one with gaps between,Russell fixed two 4 foot lengths of wood to ours,and fastened plastic coated wire to the loops on the back of the plastic cover and wrapped it round the tall pieces of wood..
He also put two of those elasticated thingy's (sorry,don't know the correct name for them,)but they have a hook at one end of them..He linked them together,and they stretch all around the middle of the growhouse,and through the gaps in the slatted fence..It's never moved since...If your fence is a solid one,it probably wouldn't solve the problem..Get Rick to put his thinking cap on ! :o)
I'm glad you were able to save your plants Rose,isn't it so annoying ,when that happens ? good luck..

I think it will be ok now Sandra . There are 4 ropes leading from it . 2 go to hooks in the fence , which is a solid one and the other 2 go with stakes in tent hooks into the ground. Its because the way it is designed , the staging each side is actually part of the green house frame and when it rocks with the wind, so does the staging !
Elizabeth ( Libet ) sent me a link to a green house place which does polycarbonate ones 4 x 2 foot for £103 , so next year I shall hopefully get one of these. They also come with a 2 year warrenty. Thanks Sandra.

Glad you got sorted,Rose,it's so frustrating when they all fall over..I didn't realise the staging was part of the frame,so it's inevitable it will rock...I used to when I was much younger !! Lol.x
