Wind damage, greenhouse
How many other people received damage to there greenhouse last night after the horrendous winds?
I had 6 full sheet toughened glass blown out, 3 smashed. managed to get some horticultural glass to fill in. Added loads loads more clips, full tube of silicone ready for the next storm 
.
I have only had the greenhouse 6 weeks and its already getting ruined 
I live in Rossendale - Lancashire

That is really rough news Perki.
Hope what's left survives tomorrows storms.
Perki, I am so sorry; I know I would be soooo upset if the same happened to my greenhouse.
Sorry to hear about your GH. The winds are back tomorrow in our part of the world Perki but the gusts won't be as strong.
That toughened glass don't half flex in and out very scary at times. I was outside for ages trying to rescue it, at one point trying to fill the gap the glass vacated . I just come inside after awhile knowing there was nothing i could do
. so it was a very late 4am bedtime and a crack of dawn start fixing. I suppose i could of been worse, i just seen a greenhouse on the news all mangled let alone all them homes flooded down south.
I have a polycarbonate GH and it was fine up until last night.
4 of the panes blew out, 2 one side 1 on the opposite and the one next to the door so it is a sorry state atm.
I have covered the GH with some plastic sheeting but I don't know how long that will hold. We'l have to take the whole thing apart too to re-fit the panes which won't get sorted for a week or so, devastating.
Sorry to hear that folks
Hope the next storm isn't so bad.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
5 glass panes smashed, and the door has blown off smashing the glass in that aswell. I really think I need to move it because its in quite an exposed area but im not sure how easy that would be.
Oh dear that sounds awful!
After reading the above, I feel I was very lucky, 2 greenhouses side by side, one door blown out completely, 2 large panes of glass broken, 3rd unscathed! They are in a slightly exposed site, so we put a wooden rail fence nearby made up of 5 rails high and put trellis against it, it seems to defuse the wind a bit.
