Great Cost Effective Option

After pricing the lumber to build our own custom greenhouse, we realized what a good deal this was. We expected it to be on the flimsy side, but we were pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it is. The instructions were clear, everything was labeled well, and we received all the pieces we were supposed to. The build took us about a week - including adding stain/sealant. All the holes aligned and builder hubby was surprised at the tight fits and alignments. The only hard part was caulking the roof panels. The inside is adorable - and plenty big enough for our needs. It's amazing how many extras (like the fan and heat sensor and adjustable shelves) are included in this price. We are extremely satisfied with this product, and highly recommend it.

Excellent quality.

Still under construction but so far I am very impressed with the build and quality of the greenhouse. It requires patience and time to put together but b using the book makes every step easy. Also with only walls and windows installed, it survived a massive wind storm.

Awesome for Alaska

What a great greenhouse! I bought it for the snow load and wind specifications since I’m in Fairbanks Alaska. I shipped it up through Carlisle Connect without any issues. Staining the greenhouse took two solid days as there’s so many pieces but everything was well marked, instructions were very easy to follow. I used a stain color called “cedar.” The vents and fan seem to work really well to cool it down from the intense sun. It also holds heat pretty well overnight. I bought this last year so it’s gone through one winter and held up perfectly. I really enjoy going and working in this space. Highly recommend!

Love our green house!

After sorting and organizing all the components, we spent a week assembling our green house. We are impressed by the quality of the materials, the thoroughness of the directions, and the ease of the fit and overall construction. Our plants are very happy and we love the thoughtful design with shelves, water supply, and air flow. We are looking forward to many years with our green house.

Love my Zalie Greenhouse!

It is a beautiful greenhouse! Quality materials and should last a long time. Building it would have probably taken me a month, by myself, so I hired a contractor and they had two people build it in two days. They commented that that the design and build of the greenhouse was meticulous and that BYD thought of everything. Overall the contractor was very impressed with it and so am I! My only challenge now is figuring out how to keep the greenhouse cool enough to use during our hot Georgia summers.

Fantastic greenhouse

I could not be more aesthetic about the green house. The materials are super solid and the instructions were very easy to follow. It took a while, but there was no issue with almost laid out in the instructions. The temperature control and internal water spigot are game changers. Excited for this season.

Looks amazing and is structurally amazing

We cannot believe how easy this was to put together with the amazing instruction manual. The wood is alll straight and all the pre drilled holes line right up. The hardware is great and coated very well. I cannot believe they can sell this great of a product so cheap. I usually do not leave reviews but this greenhouse is amazing. We live in Oregon where it rains all the time and I know this will last for years and years. It does take some time to build but we are so glad we went this route.

Just do it!

I purchased the Zalie greenhouse approximately a month ago. Every step of the purchase was streamlined and easy. The sales department was on point and answered all of my questions. Delivery times were clear and on time. The greenhouse is my little dreamhouse. It is sturdy and well made with quality cedar. This baby is solid. This week I started planting all my seedlings and placing them in there new home. In the winter, I will house my fruit trees and sensitive plants in the greenhouse and out of the elements. I am crazy happy with this purchase.

Great Product

We received our greenhouse last summer, we kept it at cool temp all winter, about 40 degrees and had flowers all winter. Wonderful. only problem was it got so hot in there in the summer, that the controller for the auto fan burned up. HELP, can you tell us which one to order that will control the fan. Have started our seeds, but a little difficult so far to keep it from getting too hot. I have installed some shades and I think the fan will help immensely. It still gets to freezing at night here in Northern Nevada. Love the product and recommend it. It was fun to put together and we look forward to many years of use. Thank you
