Howe 10x16x10 6mm Poly kit
Wanting too put this thing up right any info for the build appreciated. Do plan on doing 4x4s in each corner in concrete. I live in Indiana we do get high winds. And it’s going into a open area. Don’t plan on a floor or concrete.planning on 1×4 s as a base. Just enough too keep of the ground and help level.

I used [something like this.](https://www.amazon.com/BISupply-Ground-Anchors-Inch-Greenhouse/dp/B08HR6SMLQ/ref=asc_df_B08HR6SMLQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475812071658&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17853276816873951536&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029182&hvtargid=pla-1017208443246&psc=1&mcid=6dc6132c70203f079afc238fbdaef6db&gclid=CjwKCAiA3JCvBhA8EiwA4kujZl_VudgllTvr8s9fa_TbBnv-IUrUO8AVZKQWsJWcx5aJE6uGj6JlohoCZjoQAvD_BwE)
Had two mounted on each side, driven deep into my 4×4 footer with big, thick fender washers.
Then screwed my GH down to the wood with at least 10-12 screws.
50+mph winds and it hasn’t budget.
Edit for clarity: I have a 6×8.

That is about 4 inches of snow on my 6×8. If you zoom in you can see aluminum strips I got at HD and used self tapping metal screws to attach. These kits aren’t meant for bad weather, lol. You absolutely have to shore it up as best you can. I also used 4x4s, stacked, as a base
I been wanting a green house for 3 years. My first thought was too put the frame together first( so I can see best way too anchor). But I don’t think that’s a option because panels slide into place. I read these things can be a pain in the rump putting together. I almost bought a 20 by 30 industrial hoop house but it had a 8 week wait. My luck would receive until fall. I like the looks of the poly. Not 100 percent sure but these panels look like they are tinted May find out different when I pull them out.
Just mainly looking for ideas before I get started. I grow many house plants(Hoyas, Scindapsus, rare Pothos, philodendrons but I also like growing from seed like for garden both vegetables and flowering) I have lots of hanging baskets. Getting ready too paint and remodel house. Kinda of a safe place for my plants. I want the greenhouse secure.
Depends on your highest expected wind speeds. To start with imagine your greenhouse on the back of a flatbed truck travelling at the highest wind speed you will ever have in your area
¿Cuanto cuenta? el vivero
I cemented a few studs in one course of cinderblock and bolted on cedar 2×4’s. Then screwed it down. Mine is made from wood. It has stood for twenty years.
How much was it?
We just built this greenhouse. Such terrible directions and was an absolute pain to put together!
