Well I must say I fared pretty well with those heavy duty winds last night .. greenhouse and shed are still standing thanks to the mobile home augers - a glass top table with umbrella tipped over, but the glass did not break ... All but 3 panels of the reed fence came through it ok .. I'll be busy this afternoon! I have to pat myself on the back for the sturdy frame design, only one wood center piece of the frame succumbed. Every time we have high winds for a long stretch it's always these three panels that take a beating because there is nothing to break the wind where they are .. I'm trying to figure out a quick release system for the panels so I can take the vulnerable 3 down when this happens again. They are secured by zip ties at the moment. When I designed the fence I had hurricanes in mind .. they are very easy to take down and lay flat and though awkward, they are light I can do it myself.

Anyone else have any damage?
