We got an Elite Streamline at 6ft by 5.5ft approx. a few years ago which we have moved and put up in our new garden. Its aluminium frame with a built in base on a concrete slab floor to which it is bolted.
I doubt it would ever have moved even if not bolted down as it has safety glass in which makes it much heavier than the ones with horticultural glass.
We chose safety glass due to the tiny garden at our last house and young children. Though as others have said the single panes make it easier to clean and, in my opinion easier to glaze in the first place. Its also far better as an option then the polycarbonate which, from the experience of friends can disappear in strong winds, it also lasts longer.
We also went for some built in staging and shelving which also seems to add to the rigidity off the structure.
For Gill Smith the greenhouse was situated I a far from ideal position at our last house, although it did get sun it had to be against a garage wall and a stone garden wall at 6ft high. it got some sun in the morning but was shaded for most of the day. We painted the garage wall white to increase the light available and we successfully managed tomatoes, peppers, courgettes, aubergines along with ornamental plants for bedding out.

Sorry to see the wrecked greenhouse.
