Turn your plastic greenhouse into a stormresistant sanctuary for your veg plants. Cheap Amazon greenhouses are a great way of extending your growing season on a budget I own two Amazon greenhouses worth about £80. But to get the most out of a cheap plastic greenhouse it's important to make some upgrades and reinforce it so it can withstand the weather.

In this video I'll show you how to turn your cheap plastic greenhouse into a durable haven capable of withstanding the harshest weather conditions and stay standing all year long so that you can extend your growing season and get larger and earlier harvests.

I'll draw on my own experience as well as those of hundreds of gardeners who left comments on my plastic greenhouse review review video (   • Are Plastic Greenhouses Any Good? How...  ) and share the tips that they use that allow them to keep their greenhouse standing for several years. I was very surprised to see things like plumbers' glue, bungee chords, and even some DIY woodworking projects as ways of reinforcing these greenhouses so decided to make a comprehensive guide for protecting your plastic greenhouse from the wind.

And, as always, Happy Gardening!
