Greenhouse: weather proofing a wooden greenhouse, 2 by roxxanne

We have awful winds here too. Spent the first winter chasing panels all over the neighborhood. This year I have a solar cover on and we don't have to chase panels. Here's a pic of how mine is anchored to the ground. We built a wood base and it is attached to 6 -4x4's that are ointo the ground 32 inches, then the frame is attached to that.
The 3rd pic is with the solar cover. I have ropes wrapped around it just for extra security and the fence panel is because the door was bent by the wind last year so I wanted to give it a little more protection.
BTW, I heat it with propane and the guy came to fill the tanks the other day and said I should have been empty but I only needed 30 gallons. The $200 spent on the solar cover has paid for itself already!
