We bought this at the end of August. We took some time building our base, which took much longer than for us to actually put together the greenhouse. I LOVE the design of this greenhouse. It is so cute and so practical. We love having the storage space, the collapsible shelves, and the ability to ventilate. I am so happy with this purchase and would highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of backyarddiscovery] So many additional features on this greenhouse! Love the water line and hose holder. Everything was considered in this design. The hanging basket holders on the front are an adorable additionPerfect size. A gardeners dream greenhouse.

Have had my greenhouse up for a few months now and feel like it has exceeded my expectations on almost every level. Directions are very thorough. Only a couple times had to take apart and reassemble correctly but each time was my fault for not reading step completely before starting. We did not make one cut or drill one hole. Everything fit together exactly. There was plenty of hardware with spares of almost everything so don’t worry about a stripped out head (which is going to happen at least a couple times). Has stood through some very stiff Nebraska winds!

Finished building our Bellerose Greenhouse about a month ago. Spectacularly well thought out product. I was consistently impressed with the thoughtful detail that went into this. I cannot say enough good things. To make this review useful, i will talk about the challenges i had... this does not make this a negative review, but helps others building theirs to anticipate and avoid problems. We oiled all the wood first - this was 2-3 days worth of work - i stickered it to dry and then laid all the wood out on 5 tarps - there are a LOT of pieces. Get a big table (or two) to lay all the hardware out on in numerical order (there are over a thousand hardware bits that go into this - if you are not organized you will waste a lot of time searching) - for often used screw and washer sizes small containers make life easier. They GENEROUSLY include all sorts of drill bits and tools (including a 90 degree bit adapter that i only discovered after i bought one to complete the job ;)... the instructions do not note when they have included the tool you need (simple fix for Backyard Discovery) As noted in other reviews the blue protective film on metal parts is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to remove - i did it in front of the TV at night and it took several episodes and left my fingers raw. I did have one part that was improperly bent. They sent a replacement which was also incorrect so i clamped it between two boards and used c-clamps to "tighten" the channel (it should have been a U and it was a V which caused the piece to not lay flat and be a dirt collector - easy fix... but something that should be corrected on BD end of things) Plastic protective window film being pinched between parts was noted by someone else. Where i assembled the parts i peeled the film back an inch before putting on channels this let me keep the protection but not have to deal with the pinch. Pre assembled panels were tricky, but mostly with pressure and careful peeling you could get it out. Sometimes an exacto was required and in a few small areas i still have a bit of film that i simply could not get out. No one will ever notice but me and a month later i don't even know if i could find it back. For 99% of this the fit was absolutely wonderful. Better than i would have imagined possible with wood (which warps, twists and has a mind of its own...). A few of the lap joints on the roof were proud (not cut deep enough so that the wood did not lay flat). I used a chisel on these to remove a bit more wood and get a proper fit (otherwise there would have been a bump which would bend the channel that you have to slide the roof panels through). One notable challenge was inserting the roof panels. The rafters are secured in several steps before the roof panels are inserted. At some point a few of my rafters were tooo close together to make it possible to insert the panel. I tired loosening the rafters but there were secured too many times. In the end reversing a bar clamp to be used as a spreader proved to be the perfect and super easy solution... If you take one thing away from this review, let it be this. When you get to this step you will thank me ;) This thing is a LOT to put together. For the most part it is a one person job... but it helps to have an assistant to pull parts and hardware. My 12 yr old daughter LOVED this job and made my life SUPER easy! There are only a few times when it is necessary to have two adults to attach larger sections together. That being said, for all the work, it was a joy. Thoughtful and well constructed at every turn it was a pleasure to assemble. I cannot recommend this greenhouse enough. The hardest part was the level spot in our hilltop yard ;) Once we had the foundation the Greenhouse went up like a dream!

This kit was very high quality and worth every penny. We researched ones at The big box stores and feel so fortunate to have found this. Getting the ground ready took longer than anything, but my dad and I put it up over about 4 days. Great product and highly recommend!! My wife loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The greenhouse has a nice exterior appearance with natural-looking wood and attractive materials. It also seems very functional in layout, with the interior hose hook up and the folding shelves to allow for various sizes of plants. The pergola and door elevate it beyond a purely functional structure so that it looks nice in the yard. It has space for a good amount of plants and I like the wind resistance rating!

I only had one initial question as it was being shipped and they answered it very quickly!!! The instructions are amazing and are very detailed. My friend who is quite handy, myself who is not even a little bit handy and my wife who is a bit handy put this together. It took us two 10 hour days and one 4 hour day. We worked diligently with only a quick lunch break. All and all we are very impressed and would highly recommend. We put the pergola feet inside barrels so that we can plant David Austin climbing roses! (Wife always has good ideas)

I bought the Bellerose XL this spring and I was very pleased from the start. The number of pieces seemed overwhelming but I laid everything out in order as suggested, inventoried, and decided to treat the wood before I built, and I'm glad I did. Just for reference I am a 45 yo single woman and a DIY woodworker. I had a long weekend and was able to build the greenhouse (after being sorted and stained, which took several hours and having the foundation prepared) in about 30 hours almost entirely on my own (even some of the parts that they suggested two people). I had a couple of kids helping me grab the right parts for a few hours one day, a teen help me put the gables on, and then another adult help lift the rafters and one to hold the ridge cap down while I screwed from inside. Otherwise, I was able to do it myself. I'm not saying that to brag, just to encourage anyone else who may be considering it, but thinks it might be too hard. I was incredibly pleased with how well pilot holes lined up and how well bolts and screws sat in place. When instructions said measure, level, and square to within 1/8" allowance, I only gave myself a 1/32" allowance. That's partly perfectionism, but I only had one time I had to loosen a screw to get a window to slide in, everything else was smooth. One thing I will say, on the roof splice pieces, they said five times not to over tighten, so I was careful to go flush, but when putting the splice covers on, that pinched the splice piece down enough that the screws popped up and the covers caught on the screw, which meant sliding the roof panel down and reaching through the roof to tighten up the screws. Don't over tighten but they still need to be tighter than flush. I did have a really good A frame ladder and a portable scaffold, which was a must for me. I love the way it looks and I can't wait to get my plants going. I bought this because of all of the other reviews I read and I'm very happy with the purchase. We had a heavy wind the other day and I couldn't believe how quiet and solid it felt inside. I would recommend.

We put so much time deciding which greenhouse to buy to fit all my needs. Hands down my Bellerose XL checks all the boxes. From the unboxing, putting together, and now enjoying all the shelves full, I have loved every second. I still have room for so many more plants to add.

I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the experience of purchasing, receiving and building this greenhouse has turned out to be. Truly, believe the positive reviews. Ordering was easy - we waited roughly three weeks for the greenhouse to arrive (we are in northern Maine). Seven boxes were delivered. Each box contained carefully packaged pieces (lots and lots of pieces!). The instructions are incredibly clear. I am very experienced in building, and this had the feel of a giant, adult lego project :). We had cleared and leveled a platform prior to building, and we used four inches of mid-sized pea gravel as the base. Also used flat pavers for the corners. Note that we elected not to build the included pergola, as we decided there was just "too much going on" with the aesthetics. It took me roughly 24 hours total to complete the build (again, I am fairly experienced with projects of this sort, so take that into consideration). Suggestion: It is critical to be mindful of the importance of squaring the initial frame and making sure it is level. Do that properly ... and the rest of the build is spot on. Suggestions for the manufacturer: Only one thing (truly)...suggest that you recommend using an awl punch to help pierce through the various pieces of flashing prior to using the screws. The current screws aren't self tapping, and it is very difficult to get them to penetrate through the siding alone. Other than that....my Lord this was a fun project. Absolutely recommend. After the build, I then leveled and created the raised bed garden in front. Now all we need to do is wait until Spring!
