Ease of use

Only started using it...so easy to open and close...live in a northern Ontario so summer is short and this is easy to take out and put away.

With some added support, it works really well.

I bought this plant tent primarily to protect my plants from deer. But am also hoping to extend the growing season as a cold frame. The unit was easy to assemble single-handed. One point I hadn't realized when ordering is that it requires horizontal ropes to be attached to give it vertical stability. However very easily done. I just threw a rope from each end to nearby trees.

Decent quality, good packaging and overall well thought product. We are using it for our plants on the balcony and it doesn't go higher than the handrail so its perfect.

I’d probably love it IF I could get it put together! Your instructions are terrible!

So Far, So Good!
on September 22, 2020

Overall, it has been great so far! I haven't gotten to put any plants in it yet as it's still too warm here, but I am excited to get to use it! I am planning on making a wooden base for the frame to add weight and then stake it down to make sure our high winds don't blow it over or away.
Although we didn't get it together 100% correctly, it still retains heat and humidity well. I measured the temperature outside at 84¡ãF, and inside the greenhouse, it was 100¡ãF with condensation running down the walls inside. It should stay plenty warm, but I have also researched ways to heat it up in the winter without using electricity.
Anyway, the pictures are a little hard to decipher,, so here are some tips for putting this greenhouse together:
?18's go on the same side with the bars facing each other (for window), 17's go on the other side (it will work with the bars alternating, but it won't be perfect and will leave a gap because the roof window won't fit in the bars right).
?Big/small black screws for 1's and 6/7's, and top support beam (23-1 and 23-2) with black plastic connectors at ends
?All side connector pieces (33) at corners connecting side pieces to diagonal pieces on the ends need to have the short side/not square side up
?Oval topped screws go into the slot on 16's, 17's and 18's. The easiest way was to put the screw in the connecting hole first while holding the screw skinny way up, then slip the bar over the screw to slide the screw into the slot
?Put 8/9 and 10/11 together with the top connector piece (34) and the side connector piece (33) together first, then connect that to the rest of the frame, or just 8/9 and 10/11 with 34 with the 33's in the side poles and connect it like that.
?Took two of us younger adults with some previous assembly experience about 4.5 hours.
?37's are used for the top ends of the roof, and mostly look like they're for visual appeal more than anything else
?The 36's are easier to put on the ends of the gutters if you put them on first. If one doesn't seem to fit, try another because they are shaped differently and should have been named A and B or 1 and 2
?Extra tools needed/wanted: rubber mallet (to get the plastic connectors to go in) and small Phillips head screw driver or screw gun (to put the 36's in the gutter channel)

Pleasant to behold
on August 11, 2020
Posted by: fairfare
This is a very nice item. I was rather pleased to find that assembling it was sheer joy, unlike the reports I read. I happen to be very handy but can see why some people could find it difficult to assemble correctly mainly because the instructions make assumptions that everyone can work out how all the parts are put together. I would suggest that the instructions be improved some more, especially where images are concerned.My slight dislike is about the way the side guttering is designed onto the structure itself. I know others don't even offer guttering but if one is included it should be designed to stick UNDER the roofline to prevent the rain travelling into the sidewall panes. At least the customer should be made aware of this and advised to seal the shoulder line of the roof-to-wall. I already have some trickled moisture in the panes so I am expecting unsightly algae to grow soon.Still, I think this is one of the best greenhouses on offer.

Worst directions ever
on March 28, 2019
Posted by: Sheila
So many screws of different sizes and no idea where to use them. Are there any other directions out there with a little more detail?
