I love my little greenhouse!

First off, I got the greenhouse when it was on sale so that was already a plus. My brother and my husband helped me build it. First thing when unpacking all of the pieces we noticed the great quality. Building it was definitely a project but the instructions were pretty straightforward. Took us a few days but it was also in the dead of summer and was 100 degrees out! It turned out fantastic. All the pieces lined up wonderfully as well as all the pre drilled holes! The only thing we had an issue with was the metal flashing pieces were quite hard to install. Other than that it was great! I couldn't be happier with it except I wish I had gotten a bigger one! I think the only stuff I had to buy extra was gravel for the floor and 4x4's for a base.

A Life Long Dream

We bought our “Life Long Dream” 3 weeks ago and we are so blessed to have chosen Backyard Discovery. We picked 12x7 Zalie Greenhouse, it is beautiful! My 78 year old husband and his 2 grandsons, aged 14 and 16, followed your paper directions and video - the results are truly stunning. Yesterday we had 40 mph winds, no problem.

Great Greenhouse

Great greenhouse

I love this Greenhouse. It took me about six days to complete the construction, but I was doing it by myself, so had to do it in short spurts otherwise it would’ve only taken a few days. I had no trouble with the instructions, I thought they perfectly described every step in the construction process. I did need help putting the top panel on, because my husband and I both agreed that me doing ladder work wasn’t in my best interest 🤣 . Other than that, I had no issues, and if you’re looking for a small greenhouse, this is perfect.

Very nice greenhouse

This kit is well designed, manufactured, packed, and delivered. Minimal defects in the wood components. No issues with dimension or pre-drilled holes. All joinery hardware came with spares. The included tools, specifically the phillips driver attachment with an overdrive barrier, was thoughtful and appreciated. Reading directions is a definite requirement, but not difficult to follow if you take your time. When beginning the build plan for 25-40 hours of work and check the weather. A tarp in case of rain is handy. A good 20-24volt cordless variable impact driver makes this much easier. Only improvements I can imagine would be a weatherstrip seal for the door and an overhead LED shop light. But these were easily added. Overall, great value for the price. Much nicer than any prebuilt, and cheaper than any comparable unit i could find.

Fits together really well!

The greenhouse is up and working great. The delivery was quick and the pieces fit together really well. The instructions are super clear and they include a few extra nuts and bolts, which is a great help. We are really happy with the purchase! Thank you!

Curb Appeal for the gardening enthusiast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit can really dress up your backyard while providing a space dedicated to helping your plants flourish. It is sturdy and spacious. I love the functionality of the folding shelves which can be used as a work space or folded down for extra room when not in use.

Great value for the money

I’m approaching my 80th birthday and my wife felt that she wanted a greenhouse. After looking around and since last year we had assembled a Backyard Discovery pergola we thought it would be perfect. I think this was one of the best investments we have made in awhile. Easy to assemble with great instructions. The only downside is that you SHOULD lay out the lumber in alphabetical order and same thing with the hardware. Love it!

Love it!

We are very pleased with how the greenhouse turned out. It took my husband and I about 3 weeks to put together including the stain/sealing (we are in our mid 60’s). We still have a few finishing touches to complete. The greenhouse is very sturdy with high quality components. I am so excited to use it!

Superb attention to detail

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the thoughtful design of this green house. The hose hook-up and foldable shelves provide versatility and ease of use, while its cedar construction creates a pleasing aesthetic that seamlessly blends into the nature around it.
