We just bought this last month and almost done putting it together. My husband said more than once how impressed he was with the design, easy to follow instructions and no missing pieces. Just believe me when I say there were a lot of pieces lol. He also loved the quality and how sturdy it is. Looking forward to finishing the last details to start our greenhouse journey.

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 get very high winds and this greenhouse can handle it! It is sturdy and looks much better than similarly priced plastic greenhouses. The directions were easy to follow, though took us longer than the directions stated, about two weeks with mainly one person working. we had issues with the door handle and their support immediately sent us a replacement

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 purchased the Bellerose Greenhouse last winter and started to assemble it in the Spring. Several of our neighbors assisted and it turned out to be such an exciting and wonderful project! So much so that we are thinking about purchasing another next year. Assembly was a little challenging but we put our heads together and it worked out fine. We absolutely love the greenhouse and we have been out in our gardens every single day planting, growing, and now storing and planning for Spring again. We even decorated it with lights and a chandelier! What fun! I would highly, recommend this to anyone who loves to garden and wants to improve their outdoor living. The only draw-back is that people keep asking us gardening questions and we are not professionals (yet)!

This took me a couple months to assemble. Definitely the foundation was the most difficult and time-consuming part of the project. There aren't instructions for that, so be ready to do a little research if you're unfamiliar. We looked up gravel shed foundations. The passive ventilation system was not enough to cool it where I live, so I added a misting system. Adding lights soon since it's getting darker earlier and earlier where I live. I love this greenhouse! It's beautiful, it's fun! I wish they'd had the XL version when I bought mine in the spring. I haven't really had the chance to use it yet because I got it for houseplants and it's already starting to get too cold at night where I live, but I'm very excited for next spring! The quality of the fasteners, hardware, and wood was fantastic. It didn't feel like it should be as affordable as it all was. I'm a technical writer as my job and I was impressed by the physical instruction manual (they are accurate, the pictures are almost always very clear, with great angles selected to get the most information across), but you do have to be a little on your guard with them. Sometimes, if you weren't really paying attention, you could do a step that looked very similar to a previous one and not realize there was a subtle change, like one part was upside down now. So you might end up doing it wrong while being very confident you were doing it right. (If whoever does the instructions reads this, you could add warnings that the orientation of a part is different from previous similar steps.) So yeah, pay careful attention to each step, and especially to any red text. And look for addendums before you get started and tuck them into the manual! You will need two physically strong people to do the roof. I (a somewhat wimpy lady in her early thirties) was not able to contribute much with some of the roof assembly steps. If I didn't have two strong folks to help me I could not have finished this project.

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 is our third product from Backyard Discoveries and it is the most amazing structure yet!!! My husband and I put it together....don't get me wrong, it was very overwhelming at the start but we powered through it. GREAT instructions. Quality products!

We love our 11x7 Bellerose Greenhouse from Backyard Discovery! We were honestly surprised by the amount of detail and thought that went into this kit. Every part was clearly labeled, the materials are top quality, and everything fit together beautifully. What made the installation especially enjoyable was the use of the BILT app, a guided assembly application that walks you through the entire build step-by-step with clear visuals and voice instructions. It took all the guesswork out of the process and made it easy to follow along. With the combination of the easy-to-understand manual and the BILT app, what could have felt like an overwhelming project turned into a straightforward, rewarding experience. We were able to build it efficiently, and it was fun to see it take shape as we went. Now, we will have a beautiful, sturdy greenhouse that will extend our growing season and give us a peaceful space to enjoy gardening. If you’re considering adding a greenhouse, we can’t recommend the Bellerose from Backyard Discovery highly enough. It’s a fantastic investment, and the company has truly delivered on quality and user experience!

I am about 2/3 of way finished building the 13x11 greenhouse and I am completely amazed at the quality, engineering and hardware. I have built 2 large cedar greenhouses in my former property from the only other competitor that makes them bigger than 8x10. Those greenhouses were great, still standing tall and strong after 10+ years. Those greenhouses were reliable, strong and tons of fun. But if those greenhouses were a reliable Toyota Camry, then this one is a Lexus. First, the instructions - both paper and 3D instructions on the app, are hands down the best instructions I have ever seen in my life. The wood seems high quality. The metal hardware to put everything together with all the pre-drilled holes is strong and convenient. Every piece of wood is labeled (there were only 2 pieces not labeled - little bit of a pain to figure it out, but nothing major). The options (temp controlled fan, windows, pergola) all great features. Love the large square shape. Only thing to be wary - says it doesn't need to be stained, which is true. But, you do have to put water sealant on it, so same thing. However, if you just use Thompson's semi-transparent cedar stain protector, you get a beautiful color of cedar shining through. I put this on my new patio so I could have a level starting point and also put 4x4 treated wood under the frame to protect the greenhouse frame longer. Living in New England, I plan to put foam insulation around the cedar walls and seal it up so it can be. used as a 4-season greenhouse.
