Thought the main storm was coming tomorrow- up to 100mph winds on coastal parts- plus it's spring tides- so could cause a bit of carnage. Agree though- weather is rarely as dramatic as they say- unless it's rain

Could well do, I'm pretty concerned about my purple sprouting broccoli plants that I've nursed along all winter- might have to take the day off tomorrow to keep an eye on them.Wonder if it will blow Druids polytunnel into nextdoor

He's probably got that many sandbags on it you could take the polytunnel away and you'd still have a shelterWonder if it will blow Druids polytunnel into nextdoor

well it's still there this morning ..... went out last night 'bout half twelve ... blowing like fook ... to make sure they were all as in position as they could be ... the ends take the most battering..... repositioned a few for max purchase on the flaps and hoped!!
Full on S westerly is our usual source and didn't disappoint last night ... looks to be a little more southerly tomorrow, which is good - hits the poly., side on then
short of lifting a couple of full IBCs into it and lashing the frame down to them, ain't much else I can do (for now-I have a plan)
... as these sorts of storms are getting more frequent AND severe

funnily enough, just been looking at doing the same thing to mine .... wood baskets one side and the fence the other side, to secure to .... biggest issue is what/how to secure it over the light frame of the tunnel, without holing the covering and keeping it in place ??So this reminds me that I’d better secure the rip in my polytunnel this afternoon
