How to anchor a small / hobby greenhouse?
MOST areas in the US don't require foundations or permits for structures under 200 sq. ft. Check with your local zoning board to confirm though. Hobby greenhouses are generally seen as temporary structures (like an outdoor shed). The greenhouse can simply be attached to the ground through any number of anchoring system, such as railroad ties, earth anchors, or duckbill anchors. Solar Innovations, Inc. can provide a detailed procedure for anchoring a hobby greenhouse upon request. Solar Innovations, Inc. has also developed an aluminum base plate, that attaches to the sill, allowing an anchor to drive through the plate and sill into the ground. This bade plate will prevent issues such as moisture build-up and uneven surfaces.
