My beautiful Greenhouse!

I bought this about six months ago. The construction for two people was not bad; it was very doable. I love the fold-down shelves. I could not be more pleased with my selection and quality! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for year round and no grasshoppers can get to my goods!!

Perfect Greenhouse For My Side Yard

I was looking for a small but functional greenhouse to fit within a small sideyard and the Willow is a great fit. Setup was easy and had lots of detailed instructions. I'm a little tall for this (6'3"), so I raised it a bit on a secured foundation. I've got lots of neighbor compliments and wish I had room for the larger models!

Great price and features

I purchased my greenhouse about a month ago, so happy with the purchase. Great quality for the price! Living in the mountains of Colorado I needed something that could withstand the winds and snow load. Your greenhouse does that at an affordable price!

Great greenhouse

I purchased the greenhouse during the summer on sale and with the help of great neighbors got it put together. Cold weather came early for us but thanks to this greenhouse and a small heater all my plants are doing well. I purchased this greenhouse for the layout, fan, water connection and style.

My new plant oasis

After doing a little research, I decided this was going to be the best bang for our buck in terms of greenhouse kits. I’m happy to say I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. Wonderful quality materials makes this seem like an incredibly sturdy little building. My husband reports the assembly directions were some of the best he’s seen. My only design critique is it would be great if there were two windows that open to allow for a cross breeze on hot days.

Love our new Greenhouse

We already showed our greenhouse off to neighbors and received a few compliments. The layout is great, the shelf is very functional, the power strip is well thought out and we love the operable window. The finished product is awesome. A few critiques: as the manual indicates, properly leveling and squaring the walls is important. We were mid build and expected some weather, so we removed our shims and fastened the walls down with the provided anchors. We opted for a wooden deck, not concrete and thought it would be more forgiving. Unfortunately, we ended up with door frame 1/8” out of square. That is our fault and we overcame. What I couldn’t not understand is why Backyard Discovery attached the serial number label plate with pan head screws to the top of the door. Even attach it with inset wood screws would not have been as bad, but the pan heads were proud of the door and bound on my door frame. So obviously, we created the problem with an out of square assembly but the serial number on top of the door? With tall screws? Second-the app was completely worthless. It might be great, but it didn’t even have our model of greenhouse in the library. We are avid do it yourself folks. We own lots of tools and do lots of cool projects. The direction manual was good, but must be followed step by step. I think you could do better on the app, especially if you’re going to advertise it. Third - blue protective coating on the metal components was a nightmare to remove. The coating is a good idea gone bad. I imagine there are people that would compliment you for your attention to the final finish of a consumer assembled component, rightly so. However, removing the coating took the two of us a little over an hour to do (2 man hours). I find the estimate of 8 hours to assemble hard to believe, just based on this step. Otherwise, incredibly happy. Thank you.

Zalie Greenhouse

I purchased this greenhouse so I could start growing our own vegetables and get an earlier start with germination.. We were very pleased with this product. Went together well with detailed instructions and predrilled holes. Excellent product and we would highly recommend this greenhouse for the value. Drop down tables and temperature controlled fan were a plus.

It is all I hoped it would be!

This is so functional and at the same time very aesthetically pleasing. I needed it put together quickly so I hired a local professional to assemble it for me and he was very impressed with the kit and the ease of assembly. Very happy with my purchase. I would suggest putting your finish on before assembling or at least before you put the window panels and roof on.

Overall, well-built except for a couple issues

A nice greenhouse. Two main issues: it needs to have an additional large air intake so the door doesn't need to remain open in the summer. I solved this by removing one cedar panel and adding both hardwire cloth and a screen to the opening. In the winter, the cedar panel still fits in the intended spot. I also added hardwire cloth and a screen to the supplied window-keeps critters out when it is open. A fault in the design for the roof is that the supplied splice connectors are about a inch too short. That leaves a gap where water can leak inside the greenhouse. The manufacturer added an addendum to the instructions and supplies flashing tape and caulk, but it doesn't 100% solve the problem. Any water infiltration spells doom for the cedar upper wooden boards. What really is needed is to extend the upper roof panels about a 1/2 inch over the edge and make the splice connector longer. Also, add an aluminum drip edge under the polycarbonate panels in addition to the metal edge trim. This also means redesigning the rear metal edge to accept the panel overhang. It is not too difficult to do that from a manufacturing standpoint.

Price & Look is Unbeatable

First the directions are not the best. By far the price and value of the greenhouse is the absolute best. The power outlet, fan, and hose hook up is a bonus. I love that the door is wide enough to fit through with a large pot. Even though I bought the smallest willow this thing has lots of space. I just love it!
