What holds it when the wind gets up?
StandardIn every build
- A bracket at every jointGalvanised steel brackets, screwed through the timber. Nothing is glued or nailed.
- Sheets screwed, not clippedEvery sheet is screwed to the timber with a washer under each screw: there is no clip for the wind to work loose.
- Anchored to the ground4 ground anchors in the box for your 2 m build: each plate is screwed to the base frame and its tube dug into the soil.
- Braces in the cornersDiagonal braces in each corner keep the frame square when the wind pushes on a wall.
Stronger buildOn an exposed or snowy plot
- Choose 6 mm sheetsHeavy snow or a windy plot? The stiffer sheet flexes less between the frame members. We don’t put a snow load on it.
- Pick the spot well2 m clear of buildings and fences, no trees overhanging, and every anchor dug in firmly: the manual asks for this on a windy site.
We recommend6 mm sheets on an exposed or snowy plot.
