The inevitable happened one day though....... A huge storm came through one afternoon, and the roof just flew off down the garden. BUT guess what??? The previous day, I had removed the scope into my garage for some reason I still can't fugure out  All the damage was bent roof, and  soaked star charts I reassembled it with heavier bricks and included a rope over the roof tied down to large tent pegs  |
Hi Jimmy
I think maybe you should try and fit some padlocks to your roof
