This is the ONE!

I absolutely love my Zalie greenhouse! Fairly simple to build, instructions are incredibly clear. Added a Dreo heater for the winter and moved my succulents in last night. Can't recommend enough!

Zalie Greenhouse

Highly recommend - easy to build and comes complete with extra parts and no damage! Wish they had a version with no poly on the north wall where no sun hits but follow along on my YouTube channel to see how I improve coloradogriit.

My wife is super exited to move in and grow stuff.

Ordered this kit about a month ago, could be wrong, but at any rate at first was overwhelming but dug in anyway. Started screwing things together and in a few days had walls and a roof. Moved it piece by piece to the final site, bolted it together and there it is. Still doing the wiring but got water and stuff inside. Not finished doing the tables but as soon as it cools down a bit they will go in.

The best gift!

A gift from my husband, yay! I started off by opening 1 box at a time. Using the packing slip to inventory that box. Then proceeded to seal each piece and stack them by letter. I would highly recommend to stay organized, including screws and directions. Don't jump ahead. It went together perfectly and better than expected. The hose spigot, fan , thermostat and passive vents are amazing. We're the envy of the neighborhood.

Sunny, Sturdy, and Simply Stunning!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Backyard Discovery 9x6 Willow Greenhouse! The quality of the material is incredible, from the cedar wood that smelled so good I wish I could wear the scent lol down to the organized packaged quality hardware. It feels more like a cozy garden retreat than just a greenhouse. It looks beautiful on our property and my plants are thriving! It took my husband and I 3 days to assemble start to finish including my many mandatory breaks lol (Texas Summers ain’t for the weak) lol.

Looks great in the garden

Nice Greenhouse, looks great and the design is efficient. I would buy it again if I needed a second greenhouse. Giving it 4 stars because some of the directions are not super clear and there is some trial and error to get it together properly. If you are resourceful it is not a huge problem The roof design is not perfect but with a lot silicone sealant it will be fine. I would recommend using a caulking gun and not the little tubes of silicone they supply. Also I stained it as I went along building after reading a few other reviews, much better coverage.

Hope It Is Worth the Effort

I purchased this product in June 2025 and finished (mostly) in September. That should give you a clue how easy and quickly it can be built. Pictures in the Installation Booklet were very helpful but must be read VERY CAREFULLY. It would help if pictures were even more detailed. Be prepared for a ton of parts being dumped on your driveway. It took weeks to separate and organize the parts. Hope you have a lot of space available. The roof of the building CANNOT be constructed as described, even with lots of extra helpers. We successfully put it together in an entirely different order. Details are available for a small fee. The use of metal pieces looks like an afterthought - it seems like overkill. The metal pieces beg for predrilled holes. We threw away the ones separating the roof panels since the polycarbonate joint connectors, properly sealed with the provided silicone, seem more than adequate. We used the rest of the metal parts because they made the structure look nice. Another source of confusion and frustration: We knew that spare parts would be included by having them lie around but did not know if they were indeed extras or would be needed later during construction. Towards the end of construction, we ended up with a door handle that did not include the pictured plate that would use bilts to hold the front and back pieces together. We manufacted a solution that mostly works. I will have to use super glue to hold it together if I don't get a complete working replacement There's more, but you get the idea.

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!

Beautiful greenhouse

I bought it about a month ago for my wife's bday and finally had a long weekend free over the 4th to build it. The written instructions are great. The quality and engineering of all the pieces and parts is high. It did take 2 of us 3 days to fully complete. The toughest part was silicone application to the roof.
