As some of you know I have a 6x8 Harbor freight greenhouse. I live in north east Pennsylvania we get feet of snow sometimes in the winter. I was wondering if the snow would collapse the polycarbonate panels. If it would what can I do to prevent that from happening other than taking down the whole greenhouse?

I've read some people use self tapping screws through the panels on those green houses to combat strong winds. How well it would hold up to the snow I don't know.

Just a thought.

Maybe just jam a few 2x4's between the ground and ceiling joists to shore it up for winter at strategic points.
