I've just been down and found that the back wall of my greenhouse was apparently not secured properly to the base and has been bent inwards and sunk down beneath the wood base. Only one glass pane is broken. So anyone have any good advise and tips on how to fix, mend and rescue?

just get a few strong men to lift it back on. have found that it is best not to secure the bottom with the strong winds we get on this site. same thing happened to mine this weekend. the weight of the glass is usually sufficent to keep it in place in normal weather one conciliation just think how many panes of glass would be missing now if the base had withstood the wind and let the glass take the impact

Things that the frame itself has a bit of a kink on it where the only pane broke. That kink makes me suspect I might have to deconstruct the side to be able to straighten it out....
