How Can You Protect Your Greenhouse from Storms and High Winds?

Quick Answer:

Preparing your greenhouse for storms involves securing loose items, maintaining minimal heat to prevent snow buildup, reinforcing vents and doors, and using protective materials like plywood to safeguard against wind and debris damage.

How to Prepare your Greenhouse for High Wind Storms

Tidying Up Before Storms

Tidy up ahead of storms, so that in the event of high winds or snow storms items such as trash bins, lawn furniture, pots and trays will not be blown into your greenhouse. If required, move all the accumulated equipment and supplies out of the way along the sides and around ends of your greenhouse if you would like to create a path to the greenhouse or prevent snow drifts from accumulating on the sidewalls.
