Stabilising greenhouse in wind

hi,
I purchased a walk in greenhouse last year, one of the metal ones with the plastic cover with 2 zips.

Having potted up lots of seeds and having had lots of success, I now come home today to find it on its side due to the wind, with all my plants thrown out on the ground.

Does anyone have any tips for stabilising it on the patio (know it was supplied with pegs, but think they for fixing it to soil).

Has anyone had success with finding a way to fix greenhouses to patio/cement?

Thanks,

Aggie
 
I have one of these, have to replace the cover every year as the wind over the winter always tears it. Anyway had the same problem tying it down even though it is quite sheltered, during the winter it basically blew right across the garden, what I did to secure it was tie ropes around concrete blocks and kind of hang them from the internal structure. I also overwintered all my hanging baskets in there and left them full and hanging again from the bars.
 
you could us concrete blocks and put these around the base of the greenhouse (in each corner) to keep it down.
