I just bought a polycarbonate greenhouse and haven't put it together yet so thank you! This will help us plan the location, base, and installation much better!
Thank you so much for posting your solution! My greenhouse poly / aluminum kit has arrived... Foundation needs to be done and then the building. I live in the southern USA, about 150 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and occasionally bad hurricanes are still force 2 or 3 when they get here. My kit contains 6mm panels. Our local Orange Big Box store carries 8mm panels. I'm sure I'll need to update someday.
Hi there my friend. I have had several inexpensive greenhouses over my lifetime of renting and then later when I own a home I would build a PVC greenhouse. I never had to deal with panels popping out, just securing the plastic. Smile. Now that I have purchased a prefabricated alum greenhouse, I have been seeking knowledge and information from those before me, before I venture out on a calm non windy day to build the greenhouse together. Smile. That said, thank you for sharing your knowledge about solutions that I know will occur, [I live in a windy spot, can't escape it]. Thanks again I will store the information and be prepared.
Hello Paul. My names Jim, I garden in the UK and have a channel called Home Grown Veg. I got a small polycarbonate greenhouse a few years back and its been 'challenging' to put it mildly 'a nightmare' to be more exact. Its been such a battle to keep it in one piece. I've uploaded 8 videos all relating to my struggles. Now I've got a few sheets 'disintegrating', its never ending. Hope all your hard work pays off. Jim.
I have found that as well as bowing the panels that came with the greenhouse have not stood up to UV and disintegrated over time. Aus purchased 4mm replacement panels have lasted longer, but 8mm will be the long term fix I need as well
just like I did.... bought a cheap Chinese Greenhouse and forever reinforcing the panels.... should have spent more in the beginning for a stronger one.....

I glued my polycarb sheets into the frame with Gorilla Sealant. Withstood 4 storms so far 🙂
Useful and practical solutions. Thank you.

Where did you get the replacement panels?
Could you slice down the middle then squeeze the two halves together to fit into the groove?
If it is anything like mine you will struggle to fit it in the groove

Oo wont get alluminium crap, I rather get wood and build myself atleast wind wont take it away 😅 probably cheaper too
