How is the base attached to the ground?
When installing a greenhouse, securing its base properly is crucial for stability, especially in areas prone to wind.
Here are two common methods for securing a greenhouse base:
- To Concrete: When installing the greenhouse on a concrete foundation, the base is secured with concrete screws. These screws are drilled through the base frame directly into the concrete, providing a strong anchor that holds the greenhouse firmly in place.
- On Soil: For installations directly on soil, the base typically comes with "land legs" or anchor stakes. These land legs are attached to the bottom of the base frame and then positioned into holes that are dug approximately one foot deep. The holes are then filled with quick-drying cement, which sets around the land legs to provide a stable and secure foundation.
Both methods help ensure that the greenhouse remains stable and secure, even in adverse weather conditions.
Proper anchoring is essential to prevent the greenhouse from shifting or becoming damaged due to wind or other environmental factors.
