Altough bear in mind that mine is never moved from it's solid anchoring point on the garage wall.<br /><br />Of course the irony on all this is that the Wilko version of this little greenhouse (which is the same height and depth, but 8" wider) is in the shop costing just a tenner, and this cover (via Amazon) for my existing one, £9.
