The old greenhouse I got was held down using plastic angle brackets.
Over twenty-nine years they had reduced to some little bits behind the nuts.
This is how I managed to secure my frame to sleepers.
The extension part (which I did not need or use)was joined by bolting two reinforced sections together and laid over the glazing bars to cover the gap was a bit of aluminum strip about 3/16" thick.
I cut lengths, bent them into right angles and drilled holes for two bolts from the frame. The bottom one is there already to hold the upright to the baseframe, which made the hole placing a bit tricky as it had to be just right.
Quick bit of carpentry with the old wood chisels lets the bracket into the 2"x1" batten screwed into the sleeper.
Drill and add a brass 2" screw through the bracket.
Repeat six times.
Hope this is of help to any other amateur re-assemblers.

What a super job, i think it's really good when you can make the bits yourself. Another fine job done.
Kind regards Old Herbaceous.
