doncarchr said:I am so excited! I bought a small greenhouse, and it arrived and was set up today. It is set on pressure treated 2 X 4's ( 2 high). We have wicked winds, and even though it is in a fairly protected corner of my yard, I would still like to anchor it more firmly to the ground. Any ideas how?
Also, what has worked the best for you for the floor? I can just leave it as dirt, cover with landscape fabric, or gravel it. Any recomendations? Thanks!

We anchored ours by nailing the actual metal inside to the treated 2 x 4's. I think my husband does want to drive in some type of stakes from the 2 x4 into the ground also. For inside we put the shredded tire mulch you can buy at Home Depot. It does not attract insects, has a 12 year warranty against discoloring and is amazing to walk on. It avoids getting muddy in there when we used the mister to cool it during the heat of the day.
