Looking for cable anchoring recommendations for light weight aluminum greenhouse

[Guest]

I have the base anchored into concrete footings but would like to use cables over the top to add security.

I would recommend an x brace. Don’t go over the top that puts unneeded stress on the roof.

Connect wire to the 4 top corners and then run them to the opposite lower side and anchor in the ground. Each side should look like an x with the wire.

This is how hurricane codes have been developed for buildings too, so you should get the additional strength you’re looking for.

My husband secured my 8x12 Palham greenhouse with this strap and cable system.

I have the Grandio and anchored to ground been several years thru New England weather no issues.

I have almost the exact same greenhouse.

I bought 90* brackets and drilled them to the GH with zip screws then used long masonry screws in the concrete.

Pretty secure.

Don't forget to take a look at: We are having an issue with our tomatoes – Can anyone give me insight on what we are doing wrong?

If it needs that then you've got a problem that needs a more permanent solution: build or buy a greenhouse that you know will be strong enough for your weather conditions, straps over the roof won't stop it from shaking to pieces.

We have a similar style (also from Amazon) and we anchored the bottom of the frame into the platform deck that we built. Not sure if this is an option for you since your build is done.

We've already had bad storms with very strong winds and it held up nicely.

Inside use the 4x4 posts and the 2x4 to build the side beams. This is the added reinforcement that I’ve seen in this aluminum gh.
