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.

Just do it!

I purchased the Zalie greenhouse approximately a month ago. Every step of the purchase was streamlined and easy. The sales department was on point and answered all of my questions. Delivery times were clear and on time. The greenhouse is my little dreamhouse. It is sturdy and well made with quality cedar. This baby is solid. This week I started planting all my seedlings and placing them in there new home. In the winter, I will house my fruit trees and sensitive plants in the greenhouse and out of the elements. I am crazy happy with this purchase.

I should have bought this year's ago!

I'm very pleased with my recent purchase of the Willow greenhouse! Adding a greenhouse to my garden had been on my to-do list for quite a while and I am really happy with my decision to purchase this brand. I assembled this mostly solo, only needing to call upon my partner for a couple of steps where his height or extra set of hands were crucial. I found the instructions easy to follow, and the pieces well labeled, with almost all holes pre-drilled and ready to go. The completed greenhouse is not only beautiful to look at, but the wood pieces, panels, and parts all seem to be high quality. Are there a lot of parts? Yes. Will it take a good amount of time to complete? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely! My foundation took me at least as long as building the greenhouse did, because I choose to go with pavers. Gravel would have been immensely easier, but I wouldn't recommend it based on friends who have done this with their greenhouses. A poured concrete slab would have probably been the best option, and what I would do if I did it all again. I would recommend maybe 4 days to build it if you are working mostly solo and not rushing, like I was. Half a day to unpack and organize before you actually get to the fun part of building. It is all very well packed, but it is not packed in the order that you need the parts, so pre-organizing it is essential to making the rest of the project go smoothly. You will need space to do this. This is very clear in the instructions as well. I kept a table set up near my build space, for all the parts/tools. For the greenhouse itself, I built it all the way up to before installation of the poly panels, then I applied the required sealant via spray application, to the frame inside and out. I also laid out all the other all the other remaining pieces at that point and sprayed those, so they were ready to go after the panels went in. That part only took a couple of hours. I hardest part was the roof, which took almost a full day in itself, due to all the up and down on the ladder. I am only 5'2", and even on a ladder, reaching as far as possible, I wasn't able to reach the center area of the roof in other to screw on the metal seam covers or apply sealant. Even my 6'2" partner found this a bit awkward/difficult. But we got it done. Once I got the door and window on, the plants moved in and I took my time with the other accessories because I don't currently have the power/water lines available yet. Oddities I ran in to: There were two holes not pre-drilled on the top frame pieces, that should have been. Easy fix, but it threw me off for a bit because I had to go back and re-check all the prior steps to make sure I hadn't made an error. At the very end we noticed there was also an extra pre-drilled hole in the top frame above the door, that wasn't utilized in the instructions- again- had to re-read everything to make sure I didn't miss a step. I wish they would have sent a real tube of silicone that goes in a caulking gun instead of the ones they did. Most people who own the other required tools- drill/square/rubber mallet/crescent wrench's, own a caulking gun. Finally, there are a LOT of extra parts left over when you are done, it's okay, don't sweat it. And hey, I had an extra part for the mysterious extra hole above the door, that matched everything else perfectly, so all is well that ends well. All these things are very minor in the big picture; I mention them only because I think they can be helpful to anyone still getting ready to do their own build. So long story, short, I can honestly say this kit is high quality and has many of the little extras you might be left wanting, if you go another route. To me it was worth the money and time spent and look forward to enjoying it for the many years I know it will last!

Fantastic greenhouse

I could not be more aesthetic about the green house. The materials are super solid and the instructions were very easy to follow. It took a while, but there was no issue with almost laid out in the instructions. The temperature control and internal water spigot are game changers. Excited for this season.

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

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 truly love this little greenhouse . It was Extremely well-made . Easy to follow Built app and paper directions . All pilot holes Etc. lined up perfectly . My only Recommendation Would be changing the directions for roof assembly. The direction showed Silicone and screwing down the roof after it was assembled . Not sure how To do that after it's assembled at that height . Fortunately I have a 6ft 7” brother-in-law that helped Lol Other than that Super happy with the purchase even with that being said would buy it again!

Great features, beautiful wood!

It is a beautiful green house and will be useful to protect plants in cold season. Other uses during our warm weather.

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.
