This year I wanted to get more serious about growing my own food and needed a greenhouse. I am relatively new to the gardening scene, so have little knowledge of what greenhouse to buy. I did a little research and this product had great reviews. The service from Aosom was as always spot on. The greenhouse arrived in one large box, needing assembly. It took me about 6 hours on my own and it was really straight forward. It¡¯s good to just read the instructions, before you start as it helps with some of the stages. I have to say it¡¯s a lovely looking greenhouse. It¡¯s very sturdy and great quality. I built mine on my patio and secured it with a number of fixings direct into the patio slabs, which was straight forward. In summary, a quality product, straight forward to assemble and amazing a value for money.
I was pretty sceptical of this greenhouse when it showed up in a relatively small box with many very thin plastic parts amongst the aluminum frame. After last night's 45-50 Mph windstorm I'm pretty positive about this purchase. My wife and I hybridize roses as a hobby and we have gone through two of the really cheap greenhouses made with interconnected tubes. Those cheaper ones usually would last a single Seattle winter and recently we had two major windstorms which lifted tossed them around our yard just before we put our 1400 seeds in for stratification.
With this greenhouse I was able to build a more solid base out of 4x4s, some weed barrier and some rocks. I screwed the base of the greenhouse into the 4x4s. It took me about nine hours to build, over the course of a few days, but if it wasn't raining it would have gone a lot faster.
As I put it together I had more and more respect for the design. It was pretty simple, but clearly well thought out from a structural perspective.
I was nervous buying this greenhouse because of the heavy winds we get in the Southwest. We live on a ridgeline and experience wicked winds in the spring and the only flat place I could locate it had more wind exposure than I wanted. The day after we assembled it, we got to watch how it would stand up to 45 mph winds. It did great! Granted, we did secure it to the ground and there were a couple panels that blew out, but we were able to adjust the frame enough to prevent that happening again. Assembly is easy- pieces are bundled and numbered in a construction progression manner so it was super easy to do. It does take and extra set of hands for putting the roof together and some of the panels, but still easy. Instructions were clear and easy to read. No tools needed as the product comes with two assembly tools. One suggestion to anyone putting this together... soft tighten any screws until the whole thing is assembled, then go it and tighten everything down. I would recommend this greenhouse to anyone who really wants one but can't afford to buy the expensive, heavy duty type. I would also recommend locating it where it can have some protection from strong winds. I would certainly purchase this product again. Thumbs up!
