Faulty Polycarbonate Greenhouse

9 years ago

Has anyone had the disaster that I have had with a complete collapse of a polycarbonate greenhouse and in particular from Summer Garden Buildings

Mine is much smaller but it has that twinwall polycarbonate that was a real pain to slide in.

I do need to regularly tighten the nuts and am vigilant about it after a good blow.

This is the structure after a not very strong wind

OMG- that is horrible. I wish I could fly over and help you bend it back together.
Looks like the breeze somehow got inside and blew it outward?
I disconnect my automatic openers because they were being pulled up by the wind and might have been ripped off completely if I hadn't happened to be looking out at the time.
