so the greenhouse blew away in the gales, i think i retrieved it all though. its polycarbonate and aluminium panelled one like in the picture below but with windows in the top too. im hoping to put it back up is there anyway at all i can strengthen so it doesnt blow away again:

Is it on earth or concrete. Failing guide ropes like you'd have on a tent or ropes over the roof at each end I can't think what you can do. Or is there some way of attaching it to the shed next door.

It looks very much like mine .It came with a base which i anchored each corner into concrete,the greenhouse then bolted to the base,it is very rigid and stable. )t'

If there isn't anything like concrete or paving slabs there, you could drive timber posts into the ground at each corner and one in the middle of each long side, then run a timber frame around them, the greenhouse base would screw to the top edge of the timber and the greenhouse to that, a bit like making raised beds. :-D
