How durable is the greenhouse to wind?

We recently had a storm with wind 70 mi. Greenhouse blew away. We recovered it and put it back together with minor damage. We weighted it down with cinder blocks.

I have had this unit on my back porch for three weeks and it withstood winds that blew a 12 foot plastic pool across my yard and tree limbs down from trees last week in Midlothian Virginia. I estimate winds around 25-30 miles per hour. Enough that my storm windows were slapping in the frames. The GH did not rip or blow apart. It is not anchored, it just has the weight of starter seed trays with mulch on the top and middle shelves. It is located on my back porch and one side is protected. Happy, Happy, Happy

I have mine in a protected area from the wind. It is a corner of my 7' privacy fence. It is my opinion that this green house would not hold up in high winds in an open area.

We put some cement blocks on the bottom to hold it. Its not super strong but with the cement we have not had a problem.

You really need to tie or weight it down against the wind. I've done this and had zero problems with it. I've also seen this greenhouse on sale at tractor supply for $40 recently.

I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for you. We couldn't use our greenhouse because it was blown apart twice in a span of two weeks. It's boxed back up and in our shed collecting dust.

We did not use our during the winter yet. We had it up in August and it survived some high winds from summer storms without any issues. I was impressed on how sturdy and easy to assemble it was for the price :) Hope this helps

i have taken mine down and put it back up three times now and mine is still holding up nicely just remember dont force anything to go be gentle and your greenhouse will last

I would imagine not that well. We have some loss of reception in our greenhouse operation due to the structures. At our other facility which has a clear shot of field of view, we have no issue with reception.

Recognizing that this is a fairly inexpensive choice I would still answer yes to your question although I think to prolong its life you might consider taking it down and storing it for the summer months. I built a treated lumber deck for mine and use the greenhouse store my outdoor potted plants during the winter months. I bought an inexpensive ceramic heater and put it in the greenhouse surrounded on the bottom and three sides by common bricks to shield the heater from combustible materials. This is my 2nd year and so far very pleased. Depending on where you set it up you will have to anchor it so it doesn't blow away in storms.

I use it for my greenhouse which is 14 x 8 ft. It is very adequate for moving the air in there and could handle a larger one easily. Seems to me that it would work well for a room up to 20 ft square. It was very easy to install, just follow the directions. It is very durable and has taken several years of abuse in the hot Idaho summer. I really like the remote contral for it, as it is mounted high on the greenhouse wall. I bought it because it was highly recommended for greenhouse use. The price on amazon is the best as well.

Yes it is very durable I have had a wind gust cause me to lose control of mine at 50 to 60 ft high it hit the ground at warp speed and didn't break anything

Mine was used to cover a greenhouse. It lasted about 4 months. If you are using it for this application I do not recommend

The panels are waterproof and rated for 100mph winds. Cold winds won't damage the panels or the solar cells. There is a 10 year performance warranty on the panels. Thanks for the question!

Eleanor, I got this for my mother. She has it up against the side of her house with heavy pots in it. She hasn't had any problems but it is in a somewhat sheltered area. We were both surprised with the quality of the greenhouse when we got it. We were not expecting much with the cost and packaging. My mom has been very pleased and it is serving its purpose for her.Hope this helps.

Hold up pretty good as long as you have it well grounded. I have mines in a corner were strong wind doesn't touch it too much.

I have not had any problems even in high winds. I just raked out the dirt a little deeper, pushed it in the ground and covered it with the remaining dirt. The bottom has two prongs formed like an H and it is very secure. I planted flowers around the base and it is just beautiful!

depends entirely on the type of plants you are growing. Are they heat tolerant plants? What USDA zone are you in? (I am in 8, and temps inside my greenhouse top out in the 100's by march.) Also, this greenhouse is completely unstable in any kind of wind at all. Mine blew over, bent and broke in several places, and overturned about 100 seedlings. I don't recommend the product.

I used it as removable windows for my Polaris Ranger; it seems pretty durable and I think it would be ok for a greenhouse.

We have had ours up for nearly a year. It weathers very well winter and summer. Only concern for us is if we have strong winds and a branch falls, it slices the plastic pretty easily. We put a layer of clear hard plastic roofing material on the top of the greenhouse to give it greater strength and covered it with the plastic. The plastic itself wears well for 3 to 4 years. Of course, depending on your weather where you are...

Mine perfectly survived TX summer and a few snowfalls and I will put the cover back on in a month as it's in perfect shape. I really like this greenhouse
