Assembled by myself a few hours a day over 4 days in the garage. Sort your parts and review the instructions before you start. Good price. Seems solid...I used GE Silicone on the panels/channels and reinforced the frame joints with polyurethane construction cement. Anchored to a 4 x 4 wood frame with kitchen sink anchors every 2 feet.
The instruction book says it would take 2 to 3 people about 2 to 3 hours to assemble it. That might be true if those people had already assembled two or three others just like it, and they were on amphetamines. it was a tedious assembly, and I am a doctor and my son, who help me, is an engineer. The final result was good, but the assembly was a real challenge because the drawings and pictures were not very clear. Don't try to do this unless you are a serious do-it-yourselfer.
Had a great time building this. Took two 5 hour days taking my time and bracing the gram from the wind. Seems to really up the temp during the day as it is 9 today and inside temp is 25. I have not sealed it yet as planned but I’m in love with this inexpensive option.
We love our little greenhouse. It is the perfect size to hold my seed starts for our garden this Winter. Perfect for what we wanted, Got a couple ceramic heaters and it perfect for a 0 degree night.
I give 5; for sturdiness because it has just got through the 70 mph winds we have just had here in Lincolnshire but that was with some additional recommendations from the end of the instructions O sealed the outside windows in with sealant and inside I taped all the windows to the frame with good quality transparent tape (looks good) . As far as assembly is concerned very fiddly just like a large Meccano set. Assembled page by page carefully completing one page before going on to the next if you jump a page you will mess the whole thing up. Carefully read because some bolts have to be placed in runners ready for the next stage. I taped the opening window in as it was very fragile could easily blown in adverse weather. Done on my own and took 9hours at 3hours a day Plus another 2 hours taping the inside and sealing round windows on outside.
It took two days for my husband and I to put it together, but it does look great. It would be even better if the door would shut. We can't figure out if it is supposed to slide in the slot at the bottom or on the edge of the track. Any suggestions or pictures would be great. The instructions seriously need improvement.
