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.

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 Greenhouse

Its a great kit with lot of parts. It took about a week to complete. It takes a while to sort out the parts and put them in order of build. Make sure you take your time, I rushed a few steps and had to redo them to make it right. Read instructions closely .

No more weeping for my Willow!

Absolutely love my new greenhouse! It is exactly what I have always wanted. First of all, love the design. We live in the mountains in the Shenandoah Valley of VA, so we built the decking platform in advance. We enlisted some friends for our building weekend. Taking the time to open every box & lay everything out and organize is key. As so, many of said, everything is clearly labeled and align with great detail. Keeping it square is crucial in the end! We spend a good 2 1/2 days to complete it of course, then I started customizing! We put insulation down on the floor and then laid finished pine on top, which I stained darker for contrast. We also are adding a small sink that we will find very useful. It’s as tight as a drum and we’re so excited for spring. Great product and great value. Highly recommend!

Exceptional kit

Great product. I was amazed with the level of detail and how well/easy it went together. I have put together many kits but this was one of the biggest. All of the pieces came and everything lined up perfectly. The quality was great of all the components. We are really impressed and lov the new greenhouse. I would highly recommend.

Impressive Quality and Great Design.

I recently finished our new Zalie 12x7 greenhouse and we are thrilled with how it looks in our backyard. As a retired residential contractor I was very impressed with the quality of the kit and the ease of construction. All of the components fit well and the pre-drilling, including pilot holes, was right on. I took the time to pre-stain every piece of cedar on all sides and ends to ensure maximum protection in our wet environment.

Nice Kit

Very impressed with the kit. Very good instructions and all the pieces fit like they should. The packing folk are on top of their game. Nothing was missing and everything was labeled well! Did not have power on the property where we put it, so added some solar panels to power the fan.

Just What I Wanted

I bought this back in early Spring. It took my husband a week to build (other projects going on as well). The instructions are so exact it’s hard to make a mistake. I LOVE my greenhouse and so excited to start getting seeds ready for Fall and Winter.

Best instructions ever using 3D application.

all parts were marked and referred to during each step of the build. all steps were very clear and not confusing. what makes this build the best I've seen is being able to look in detail using the computer app to ensure that pilot holes and grooves in the material or in a proper position. without instructions this project would be very difficult. I feel that a beginner DIY'er would get a sense of pride building this high quality greenhouse. Nothing was spared in the materials.
