I found a method of securing the panels tightly, preventing blow out and all of the rattling during wind. Very inexpensive and NO mess.Very simple to install and to remove, if that ever became necessary. I used round poly foam caulk saver 3/8"×20' long, made by "Frost King". It took 3 pkgs to do my 6×8 @ a cost of under 5.00 each, at my local independent hardware store. On the inside of the greenhouse, press the foam firmly into the channel between the frame and the panel. Eliminates cold seeping in and noise reduction is incredible. This product comes in different diameters for varying applications. The entire process took less than 2 hrs.
Sometime when boredom overtakes you Get a few tubes of clear silicone caulking and go around the edge of each panel inside and out of your greenhouse. The Silicone will seal out the cold better and also help to glue in your panels so they dont blow out as easy.
I've had mine for several years now. If left outside a while they may break down in 2 or 3 years but if picked up and put away they can last a while. Most of what I have are 5 or 6 years old. I throw a few aways each year as they do get damaged. I bought ours from Greenhouse Megastore but Farmers Friend of other places have them too.

I think I used something similar in places. It's a great idea!
It’s funny how those mini greenhouses turn into pot holders hahaha! Especially by June/July.
Really too hot in a Tennessee summer for a greenhouse. Need shade cloth for sure!

Love that, "when boredom overtakes you!" That's probably my main problem. I can always find something to do more interesting than what I need to do! 😆
How long do your starter flats last? Any recommendations! Have a blessed 2021!
