NORFOLK GREENHOUSES

[malcs]

Sometime back in 2006 when I first joined the forum I replied to a posting re greenhouses when Chantel had made a comment that a Norfolk greenhouse would fall to bits at the first gust of wind when I said that I had erected one with no problem. I feel I must speak in defense of Norfolk Greenhouses as mine has come through the worst 2 days of storms for several years totally unscathed.
Still enjoying the mag and picking up lots of tips.

thanks for that malcs I am just about to build my Norfolk Poly this week hope it will last through the next storm

[Chantal]

Malcs, I'm so pleased you had more luck than me, is yours semi rigid UPV as mine was?

My main problem was putting the thing together in the first place and I know Seedling had a similar problem.

Good luck for the future

I did yes. Nearly ended in divorce.

mine took me two days to construct .and personally i think the lower plastic is a bit flimsy where there are no bracing bars.but as long has you screw the GH down they will withstand a good storm as proven

[malcs]

The greenhouse was the rigid plastic type.
Where I thought the bracing wasn't particularly good I drilled extra holes and fitted extra bolts.
Also what I did following Chantelles email was to invest in a roll of greenhouse glazing tape and made sure all the glazing was secure to the roof. hope this helps.
