I would have given it 5 stars but 2 of the panels were slightly damaged because they were shipped in the same box with the frame. l called the company and they sent me 2 new panels. The greenhouse looks expensive and has held up in heavy rain and 59 mph wind gust. I like the greenhouse a lot.

This greenhouse, as per other reviews, can be a pain to put up. I built this mostly by myself. Partially gale force winds, slightly rainy. I think without the winds and rain, I would have had fine time putting it together. Once built, it is quite sturdy. I put mine on 4x4s anchored into the ground. Living in central Florida, I've already bought a shade cloth for my orchids.

Overall a good hobby greenhouse for the price. Putting it together is a nightmare. Takes two people to install. Allow at least a day, maybe more, and don't try to do it if there is any wind at all. The instructions are pictures only, and difficult to understand in places. Some steps are missing from the instructions, causing some backtracking to go back to undo what was already done in order to re-do. The panels are not numbered but should have been. Some of the pictures don't clearly show the orientation of parts. Written notes in the steps would have helped. The door and vent panel are a little flimsy. The bottom of the door has a magnet, but the top pulls away from the greenhouse in the wind. It would have been better if it came with full length door frame parts rather than piecing together short pieces. The wall panels are not very stiff; a good push on one could easily pop it out of frame. We could not get the diagonal frame supports to line up at all. Overall, the major components fit together.

Ok. So I researched this product purchase for about a year before actually picking something. Some of the things that I had to take into consideration was price and stability. I did not want to spend more than $500 and I wanted it to last. This same greenhouse varied in price from site to site and the cheapest I could find was here on Walmart.com. I don't know what people are talking about with the directions not being clear. Each of the pieces have a sticker with the correlating number on them. If you don't know how to read numbers then this greenhouse isn't for you--- I guess stick to the greenhouses that have a tarp over the top of them. Beyond this , yes, it took me, one person, about 8 hours to put together. If I would have had help, it would have went quicker. The whole thing is about 85 lbs. I didn't buy the anchoring kit thinking that I could buy the pieces individually cheaper from Home Depot. . . I was wrong. I saved about 3 dollars. lol. So just buy the anchoring kit. It is NOT going anywhere now that I have it anchored though. You can't move it unless a truck were to hit it. I love the room that it has (I bought the 6x8) and pretty cool that the shelves can attach to the walls. I would say that this is a great choice. The only complaint is that I have, is that I wish that the house had at least 6mm paneling but, I for the life of me, couldn't find anything for under $500 with this feature so I guess I wont be gardening in January.... I did however buy a solar powered fan on Amazon for $50 that has a solar panel you put on the roof. I also bought the vent wall kit which I think is a necessity. The automatic vent opener is awesome and one lees thing I have to worry about. I am trying to figure out how to get a heater in there. So we'll see.

The greenhouse came with in a few days. After making sure all pieces were with the greenhouse. My son, a friend and myself put it together with in a few hours. Best key is to make sure you have level ground and extra set of hands and eyes. After putting it together it looked awesome and couldn't wait to start growing plants.

I have had the greenhouse for about 2 months now and I like it. The instructions are all pictures with practically no text. I assembled it alone over about three evenings due to nearly constant rain and wind and it took the equivalent of at least one full day under better conditions. Two people could probably do it in a half day. Allocate more time if you have to prepare a level base for the frame. I used 4x4 inch by 8 foot timbers. The frame is very flimsy and mobile while being assembled, but is plenty stiff when completed. The greenhouse does not retain heat more than a couple of degrees above the outside temperature at night since the frame is aluminum and the panels are very thin plastic and there is plenty of air movement through the structure. During the daytime with partial to full sun, the temperature inside can get 20 degrees F. above outside air temperature even with the vent and door open. If it lasts a few years it should be a good purchase for a casual gardener who needs a greenhouse.

The greenhouse arrived on time but due to snow in our area we had to delay setting it up. My husband assembled it on his own. over one weekend. I love my greenhouse and in two days from getting seeds planted I already had Kale popping up. In just 2 weeks the greenhouse vegetables are thriving. My flower seeds are not doing as well but I believe it is gardener error more than a problem with the greenhouse. I look forward to finding out if I can extend the growing season here in the Mid west and also if I can start my seeds in the greenhouse next spring.

hard to put up and some parts were missing or broke,

I really like the green house but to early to give it a 5 star rating

Perfect. Exactly what my wife was wanting
