Hi jay, I'm putting up my 3rd greenhouse this winter. 1 small 16x24 (4 years ago), 1 larger 20x80 (2 years ago) and this one 20x80. None of mine are in concrete and I have had no problem. The anchor post are driven in the ground about 18-20" with a sledge hammer. I put a heavy bolt with some big washers in the end so I'm hitting a solid target. If I mushroom the anchor post too much you can cut it just below the bulge. After I slide my rib in (or over as the case may be) I put a bolt through everything to hold it together. My main problem is my site, it used to be a gravel parking lot so it has some big nasty rocks under there which causes the post to move around a bit, it can be hard to get things to line up. Like I said we've had no problems at all and have gone through
some 60 mph storms... Good luck Have Fun Dave z6a Louisville KY --- On Tue, 11/30/10, Jay Sleichter <jaysleichter AT yahoo.com> wrote:
