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.

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.

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.

Ideal size and quality.

Well designed, quality wood, and love the built in vent fan. This is the ideal size greenhouse for our property.
