Things are slowly coming together folks.
Greenhouse weed is very much the same as indoors, people cannot tell the difference.
If you take a look at the last picture you can see that all 8 legs are anchored by a 50# cinder block. The plastic would tear away first. I've had a couple of 'blow outs'. But usually the wind comes in one side & blows the back corner loose. It's never come off. But I use a lot of zip-ties.
OK, coffee's over, off to PJ's!

P.S. Boy you guy's are a tough crowd, 2400 views & I haven't even picked-up 1 star!
OK, I guess I'll have to try a little harder!

Thanks JJ. When I had my Shucks carport up the it had those thick poly type sides on and it looked like the wind hit it then went right up under the top and it took off like a kite once it rocked out those big stake anchors. But winds were 20 to 35mph and maybe larger gusts. If i can find the pic I will show you my solution.

Here's a shameless plug for PJ's worm farm in Galt, Ca, just a few miles south of Sacramento.
Mike, at PJ's was great! Showed us around & loaded the truck with fresh worm castings. The worm castings look great, black & rich. One thing I didn't know was that they also make custom soil mix's. (Maybe next year)
Where's a few pic's from our worm farm trip.

P.S. They loaded up real easy, but now I have to get them out of the truck.

Ok I kinda felt like it might hijack JJ's thread due to our wind situation but just posted the build here. https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/422299-12x20-diy-green-house-high.html

It's pretty simple, privacy & bugs.
I live in the city. I need some privacy for me to grow here. My neighbors live close. This carport doesn't scream GREENHOUSE!!
You cannot see thru it except up very close. If you peak over my fence, you can't see anything.
The moths/bud worms, can be brutal, well worth the work of putting it up, if only for that.
Rains will cause mold late in the season & the plastic top keeps them dry.

I'm sorry I don't remember where you live, but have you ever been to Sac in Aug?! 100+
The mesh walls let the air just pass thru, so heat doesn't build-up.
I think I'd put my grow inside one of these even if I didn't have to, solves too many issues.

P.S. And remember you can put one of these up in a day & take it down the next day & no one would know it was ever there.
EDIT: OK,bos I remember, "the Carib. Islands", yes it should work great!

Well, I did get a price break buying so many. But they still ain't giving them away.
4 bags per pot, but that's only 1/2. The rest is worm castings, compost, & perlite.
