A nice greenhouse. Two main issues: it needs to have an additional large air intake so the door doesn't need to remain open in the summer. I solved this by removing one cedar panel and adding both hardwire cloth and a screen to the opening. In the winter, the cedar panel still fits in the intended spot. I also added hardwire cloth and a screen to the supplied window-keeps critters out when it is open. A fault in the design for the roof is that the supplied splice connectors are about a inch too short. That leaves a gap where water can leak inside the greenhouse. The manufacturer added an addendum to the instructions and supplies flashing tape and caulk, but it doesn't 100% solve the problem. Any water infiltration spells doom for the cedar upper wooden boards. What really is needed is to extend the upper roof panels about a 1/2 inch over the edge and make the splice connector longer. Also, add an aluminum drip edge under the polycarbonate panels in addition to the metal edge trim. This also means redesigning the rear metal edge to accept the panel overhang. It is not too difficult to do that from a manufacturing standpoint.

This greenhouse was well engineered the instructions were easy to follow all parts were marked with part numbers on each peace ,every screw lined up perfectly with the pre drilled holes ,all the hardware was packaged in marked bags with the part number loved this project.

We put this greenhouse together ourselves after taking a breath because we are not carpenters or builders. But this greenhouse has been the BEST DIY project we have ever done. The instructions are very exact. I am now getting all my plants ready for our garden and everything about this greenhouse has worked fantastically. Didn't put picture because mine looks JUST LIKE the one in the pictures.

I ordered 2 of the Zalie greenhouses to over-winter my plants. Arrived well packed and in good shape. I was impressed with how well the instructions were presented and had no trouble assembling the greenhouses. All parts were included, well labeled and went together perfectly. I was able to assemble the greenhouses by myself except needed another person to help me put the walls together and lift the roof on. The folding shelves are a nice touch and the automatic exhaust fan cools the greenhouse by 5 to 10 degrees on a warm day. I used 3/8" x 4" wedge anchors to secure the greenhouses to my concrete slab and would recommend using a silicon sealer under the metal roof trim. Plan on using an electric space heater during extended cold/cloudy periods this winter. Satisfied with everything about the Zalie Greenhouse.

I was looking for a small but functional greenhouse to fit within a small sideyard and the Willow is a great fit. Setup was easy and had lots of detailed instructions. I'm a little tall for this (6'3"), so I raised it a bit on a secured foundation. I've got lots of neighbor compliments and wish I had room for the larger models!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our greenhouse 3 weeks ago. My wife and I constructed it in about 4 days. Everything fit perfectly together, no issues with construction! It’s the best. Thank you for quality craftsmanship.

We received our greenhouse a while ago and have been organizing and staining it. We began building last week and are thrilled with how nicely it is going together. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and attention to detail. My husband is having a ball putting it together. We are hoping to finish it next weekend.

I love this Greenhouse. It took me about six days to complete the construction, but I was doing it by myself, so had to do it in short spurts otherwise it would’ve only taken a few days. I had no trouble with the instructions, I thought they perfectly described every step in the construction process. I did need help putting the top panel on, because my husband and I both agreed that me doing ladder work wasn’t in my best interest 🤣 . Other than that, I had no issues, and if you’re looking for a small greenhouse, this is perfect.

We already showed our greenhouse off to neighbors and received a few compliments. The layout is great, the shelf is very functional, the power strip is well thought out and we love the operable window. The finished product is awesome. A few critiques: as the manual indicates, properly leveling and squaring the walls is important. We were mid build and expected some weather, so we removed our shims and fastened the walls down with the provided anchors. We opted for a wooden deck, not concrete and thought it would be more forgiving. Unfortunately, we ended up with door frame 1/8” out of square. That is our fault and we overcame. What I couldn’t not understand is why Backyard Discovery attached the serial number label plate with pan head screws to the top of the door. Even attach it with inset wood screws would not have been as bad, but the pan heads were proud of the door and bound on my door frame. So obviously, we created the problem with an out of square assembly but the serial number on top of the door? With tall screws? Second-the app was completely worthless. It might be great, but it didn’t even have our model of greenhouse in the library. We are avid do it yourself folks. We own lots of tools and do lots of cool projects. The direction manual was good, but must be followed step by step. I think you could do better on the app, especially if you’re going to advertise it. Third - blue protective coating on the metal components was a nightmare to remove. The coating is a good idea gone bad. I imagine there are people that would compliment you for your attention to the final finish of a consumer assembled component, rightly so. However, removing the coating took the two of us a little over an hour to do (2 man hours). I find the estimate of 8 hours to assemble hard to believe, just based on this step. Otherwise, incredibly happy. Thank you.

We've had our Zalie greenhouse up and running for a few weeks and I am repeatedly reminded how happy I am with it. The quality of the materials, the attention to small details, the clarity of the instructions and the beauty of the overall design leave me convinced that I got a great value. It comes with everything you could want.
