Basically I buiilt a wood base from treated 4X4's and used metal stakes to tie it down with. And around the top just under the roof I added chainlink fence pipe to the wall to brace it better.

I then used screws to fasten the metal base to the 4X4's.

The wife is disabled so I had to put the GH on hold. That is why I am growing in the house. It will take a few dollars to finish it up.
