    The wind's a devil for blowing away my greenhouses.
    Currently I hold them down with with rope tied to a couple of big rocks at either side.

    What would be a good way to give them a permanent anchor to the ground?

    I'd screw the top of them to the wall.

    buy a concrete paving slab and screw the base to the slab that way you could still move them around

    I have used big corkscrew yokes that literally screw themselves into the ground. I think I got them when I bought a trampolene in Smyths - not sure now as it's many years ago but the trampolene is still there. I have also anchored greenhouses by digging out a bucket-shaped hole, filling it with concrete and a chain. Webbing straps over the roof can then be used and the greenhouse will be hurricane proof. If you move the greenhouse, don't forget where the chain is lying or you'll mess up your lawn-mower.
