Finished building our Bellerose Greenhouse about a month ago. Spectacularly well thought out product. I was consistently impressed with the thoughtful detail that went into this. I cannot say enough good things. To make this review useful, i will talk about the challenges i had... this does not make this a negative review, but helps others building theirs to anticipate and avoid problems. We oiled all the wood first - this was 2-3 days worth of work - i stickered it to dry and then laid all the wood out on 5 tarps - there are a LOT of pieces. Get a big table (or two) to lay all the hardware out on in numerical order (there are over a thousand hardware bits that go into this - if you are not organized you will waste a lot of time searching) - for often used screw and washer sizes small containers make life easier. They GENEROUSLY include all sorts of drill bits and tools (including a 90 degree bit adapter that i only discovered after i bought one to complete the job ;)... the instructions do not note when they have included the tool you need (simple fix for Backyard Discovery) As noted in other reviews the blue protective film on metal parts is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to remove - i did it in front of the TV at night and it took several episodes and left my fingers raw. I did have one part that was improperly bent. They sent a replacement which was also incorrect so i clamped it between two boards and used c-clamps to "tighten" the channel (it should have been a U and it was a V which caused the piece to not lay flat and be a dirt collector - easy fix... but something that should be corrected on BD end of things) Plastic protective window film being pinched between parts was noted by someone else. Where i assembled the parts i peeled the film back an inch before putting on channels this let me keep the protection but not have to deal with the pinch. Pre assembled panels were tricky, but mostly with pressure and careful peeling you could get it out. Sometimes an exacto was required and in a few small areas i still have a bit of film that i simply could not get out. No one will ever notice but me and a month later i don't even know if i could find it back. For 99% of this the fit was absolutely wonderful. Better than i would have imagined possible with wood (which warps, twists and has a mind of its own...). A few of the lap joints on the roof were proud (not cut deep enough so that the wood did not lay flat). I used a chisel on these to remove a bit more wood and get a proper fit (otherwise there would have been a bump which would bend the channel that you have to slide the roof panels through). One notable challenge was inserting the roof panels. The rafters are secured in several steps before the roof panels are inserted. At some point a few of my rafters were tooo close together to make it possible to insert the panel. I tired loosening the rafters but there were secured too many times. In the end reversing a bar clamp to be used as a spreader proved to be the perfect and super easy solution... If you take one thing away from this review, let it be this. When you get to this step you will thank me ;) This thing is a LOT to put together. For the most part it is a one person job... but it helps to have an assistant to pull parts and hardware. My 12 yr old daughter LOVED this job and made my life SUPER easy! There are only a few times when it is necessary to have two adults to attach larger sections together. That being said, for all the work, it was a joy. Thoughtful and well constructed at every turn it was a pleasure to assemble. I cannot recommend this greenhouse enough. The hardest part was the level spot in our hilltop yard ;) Once we had the foundation the Greenhouse went up like a dream!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has a beautiful design with many unique features. Love that the water hose hook up is easily accessible and folding shelves allow for bigger plants to be brought in as well. Fan system is a plus as well!

I've had it up and running for a month now and it has done nothing but bring me pleasure! My husband and I put it together in about a week, working a few hrs a day since we are older. Best advice...STAIN everything FIRST 😀! I'm looking forward to many years of using this greenhouse, it is very well constructed! Super pleased, CR

My husband and I ordered the Bellerose ahead of moving into our new home. I knew it would be the perfect addition to my new yard and it would also be a dream to have. The greenhouse came in numerous boxes that had to be stored in our garage for awhile due to our move. Man...did the garage smell good! Once we began opening boxes I was little overwhelmed with all the pieces and hardware but my husband quickly determined a process, got things organized and a plan to get under way. I then began staining/sealing boards he outlined for me to do. After a short drying period he would select wood pieces and specific hardware and construct that section of the greenhouse. This is how we proceeded thru the entire process. Stain/seal, drying time and then "shop" for the finished wood pieces and hardware in the garage (which we referred to as our "Menards") for what was needed. It took us a month from footing creation to greenhouse finish working part time together. All the hardware was there and the wood and poly panels were in good condition. Directions were accurate and diagrams were essential in helping an amateur contractor get things right. It adds beauty and interest to our yard, feeds my creative desire, plant hobbyist heart and several friends have now fallen in love and want one to. We would highly recommend the Bellerose to any hobbyist on up!

We put this together with the help of our friends. This greenhouse fit perfectly into a space in our new backyard where a raised bed had stood. The inside of this greenhouse is spacious enough for our two person inflatable hot-tub as well as winter protection for our more delicate plants. Most of the work occurred during (3) 5 hour Sunday workparties. 1 person sorted and matched required hardware 1 person sealed all the pieces 3 erected walls and assembled the greenhouse. We used a combination of the booklet, the app and assistance from the 1800 number. We were still good enough friends at the end of each day to enjoy a meal together. We took a pause prior to erecting the pergola and unfortunately frozen ground prevents us from moving forward.

I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the experience of purchasing, receiving and building this greenhouse has turned out to be. Truly, believe the positive reviews. Ordering was easy - we waited roughly three weeks for the greenhouse to arrive (we are in northern Maine). Seven boxes were delivered. Each box contained carefully packaged pieces (lots and lots of pieces!). The instructions are incredibly clear. I am very experienced in building, and this had the feel of a giant, adult lego project :). We had cleared and leveled a platform prior to building, and we used four inches of mid-sized pea gravel as the base. Also used flat pavers for the corners. Note that we elected not to build the included pergola, as we decided there was just "too much going on" with the aesthetics. It took me roughly 24 hours total to complete the build (again, I am fairly experienced with projects of this sort, so take that into consideration). Suggestion: It is critical to be mindful of the importance of squaring the initial frame and making sure it is level. Do that properly ... and the rest of the build is spot on. Suggestions for the manufacturer: Only one thing (truly)...suggest that you recommend using an awl punch to help pierce through the various pieces of flashing prior to using the screws. The current screws aren't self tapping, and it is very difficult to get them to penetrate through the siding alone. Other than that....my Lord this was a fun project. Absolutely recommend. After the build, I then leveled and created the raised bed garden in front. Now all we need to do is wait until Spring!

We found every aspect of the greenhouse to be spot on. The directions, the materials, pre-drilled holes, milling, hardware,venting system, and on... were extremely well done and of the highest quakity.. Backyard discovery hits it out of the park on the Bellecose Greenhouse!!!

Overall the quality was very good - only criticism is the screw holes on the window hinges should be alternated because the screws abut when the window is closed and it's tight. The amount of lumber and hardware is daunting, but it was fun to put together and I know I'll be very happy with it for years to come!

Well made product. The predrilled holes actually lined up and i was able to easily build this unit. It looks great and functions perfectly. I am an example of a person working by myself to build this greenhouse. It should be noted that i have lots of different tools and construction equipment therefore it was pretty easy for me to do this by myself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of backyarddiscovery] So many additional features on this greenhouse! Love the water line and hose holder. Everything was considered in this design. The hanging basket holders on the front are an adorable additionPerfect size. A gardeners dream greenhouse.
