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.

She's a beauty!!

I'm not going to lie, when I opened up the boxes to start sorting the wood and hardware I was dismayed at the number of parts. I thought "what have I gotten us in to???". My husband and I have built many things together over the years and we are pretty handy but it did seem overwhelming at first. The first day we tackled the construction of the four walls. We did make a few mistakes and had to undo a few steps and start over. We learned that you have to really pay attention to the details of each photo to make sure that the pieces are facing the right way. Each step after the walls was actually pretty fun and went much faster than expected. We started on a sunday afternoon and worked each day until dark after work hours and finished the following Saturday. I'm really in love with it. It's beautiful, it's sturdy and it smells great. I haven't "used" it just yet but I'm having fun decorating the inside. My husband was really impressed with the fact that all of the pilot holes were drilled in the correct spot and lined up. All of the parts were accounted for and there was more than enough hardware. I have always wanted a greenhouse and I'm very 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

Our new Zalie looks so great!

We love the Zalie! We have had it installed for about a month now, and it is perfect for a potting shed and a place to start seedling and winterize plants. installation was very straight forward, I was able to install it all myself, except for the steps that require another set of hands, and they are very limited. I did have a number of times where I was sure parts were left off... but they were all there, I had just not found them yet. Stay organized!! Truly a beautiful addition to our back yard.

They thought of everything!

We received our Zalie kit in single digit temps with the big snow/ice storm on the way. I’m a 69 yr old woman and was able to assemble the walls myself (keeping front and back in two sections for easy transport). My husband and neighbor carried each section to our site and we completed the exterior build. Assembled the roof on site which was easy. We assembled per the instructions (very detailed) but completely out of order so we could seal the exterior. Entire exterior build took three days. Once we cleared a path through the snow I completed the interior. I added an upper shelf to store my flats/pots along with grow lights on chains. We still need to add the metal roof trim when we can get near the building. I anchored the roof panels with more flashing tape until then and it kept water and wind out. Needless to say - this is a fabulous product and I am thrilled to have one. Now, on to seeds!

Love it!

I am so happy to have this as a beautiful and functional addition to my garden! It is so spacious and the water and electricity features are incredible. Finally, a place where I can work and store all of my gardening supplies.

A nice addition to our backyard

there were a few hiccups along the way, but we were able to get it put together. Still need to varnish and put up a gutter, but it's very nice and will definitely do the job. it looks very nice.

Easy with the app

There are two steps in the paper instructions that aren't in the app. Also, I was paranoid about all the extra hardware. You need to let a person know about that
