So Far, So Good!
on September 22, 2020
Posted by: Shiloh
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)

Great Company Very Good Greenhouse
on March 9, 2021
Posted by: Stephanie
So far we've had days with wind gust 35-40 and it's withstand that very well. Just make sure to keep the door closed and the vent open during windy days because it will blow a panel out if the doors not closed. I believe it's made to withstand wind blowing against the panels the door open creates a vacuum and blows out the first panel close to the door. I have mine temp controlled heat kicks on at 65 and fan kicks on at 80 degrees. I would definitely buy from this company again they stood behind making things right and I respect that especially during these times.

It wasn't the easiest to assemble it but once we got going it got easier. In the video it showed a type of caulking but that did not come with it. Happy to start planting!

Not bad for the price.

Nice size. Lots of nuts and bolts to put together. Definitely a 2 person put together operation. But pretty sturdy. We put it together on a very cold wet and breezy day. The inside was definitely a lot warmer than outside. My rosemary is doing great inside. That is all I have in there for now

Thumbs up!

Overall - I'm glad I got this greenhouse! My husband and I knew putting it together was going to be a challenge. We dedicated an entire day to it. Definitely watch the video first and then go back and forth with the written instructions and video when assembling.
The packaging it came in was impressive and everything was clearly marked. I'm very happy with this purchase and would totally recommend it for a budget-friendly and pretty greenhouse.

good net
on April 1, 2021
Posted by: rcatty
It was unfortunate that I managed to cut the net, just opening the packaging (I thought I was being careful). Lesson learnt, because that apart, the net was perfectly serviceable. Will have to repair the damage somehow.
