I purchased my Willow 9x6 greenhouse in July but waited a few months to build it. It was too hot here in southern California to comfortably do that kind of work in the summer. In the meantime, I put Penofin stain & sealer penetrating oil on all the wood components. All the parts arrived in perfect condition. As a 65 year old woman (able-bodied with fairly basic DIY skills), I am proud to say that I constructed the entire greenhouse myself -- zero assistance from anyone! It's my first project as a retiree. The instruction manual is detailed and well illustrated. Whenever I was not precisely sure about something, the BILT app clarified the situation. I mostly followed the instructions closely. The exception to this was roof construction. Because I was working solo, I couldn't build the roof and then hoist it into place. Instead, I simply first installed the purlin cleats and rafters and then attached the purlins to them (a much easier method, I think). My Willow is anchored to a foundation of pressure-treated 4x4s that are attached to 8 buried 29-lb concrete piers (metal straps shortened with a hacksaw). I made the floor of square 12-inch concrete pavers and gravel. The most difficult aspect of this project was installing the metal splice covers and the metal trim around the edge of the roof -- they lack pre-drilled holes and I'm not particularly comfortable standing on the fourth rung of the ladder. I am thrilled to finally have a greenhouse! It's something I've wanted since I was a kid. After over a year of shopping online (investigating all the possibilities for small greenhouses), I decided to purchase the Willow because it had consistently excellent reviews that mentioned the quality of materials, clear instructions, and attentive customer service (I didn't have to consult customer service!). Although the price has increased by $200 since I purchased mine, I still think it's a great value. Now, I'm excited to fill it with plants. In the summer, I expect to need to cover it with shade cloth.

I recently purchased the Zalie 12 x 7 greenhouse, and as a first-year plant parent, I honestly couldn’t be happier with my choice. From the moment it arrived, the quality and attention to detail were obvious. The cedar wood frame feels incredibly sturdy, and the pre-stained finish gives it a beautiful, modern look that fits perfectly in my outdoor space. What impresses me most is the durability. It’s Pro-Tect™ tested to handle up to 4,400 pounds of snow load and winds up to 100 mph, which gives me huge peace of mind—especially with the included 5-year warranty. The commercial-grade 4-wall polycarbonate panels really make a difference, too. With my heater running, the greenhouse stays extremely warm, and I’ve already noticed how much better my plants are doing in this well-insulated environment. The built-in ventilation system is another big plus. The temperature-activated exhaust fan and two easy-open windows keep the air circulating and help maintain ideal growing conditions. I also love the thoughtful interior layout—86 square feet of space, a built-in workstation, and over 23 feet of shelving make it easy to stay organized. The PowerPort™ with electrical outlets and USB ports, as well as the interior and exterior hose hookups, make daily watering and using accessories super convenient. Assembly was straightforward thanks to the pre-cut, pre-drilled pieces and the step-by-step instructions on the BILT® app. Overall, this greenhouse has been hands down one of the best investments I’ve made for my plants. It’s durable, functional, and keeps my growing environment perfectly warm. As a new plant parent, I couldn’t ask for a better setup, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish greenhouse.

I bought this last month I think is a great structure super spacious and I love the foldable table as well the self regulating fans.

A gift from my husband, yay! I started off by opening 1 box at a time. Using the packing slip to inventory that box. Then proceeded to seal each piece and stack them by letter. I would highly recommend to stay organized, including screws and directions. Don't jump ahead. It went together perfectly and better than expected. The hose spigot, fan , thermostat and passive vents are amazing. We're the envy of the neighborhood.

We are not handy construction type people. My wife & I put it together in three days. Got help from a handy friend on day 2. Unpacking & set up / organizing all the pieces and parts took half of the first day. We only got thru step 7 on the first Saturday. Sunday we had a handy friend help us and we got thru step 70 something. I had to take the Monday off but we were able to complete all of the outside walls and roof. Thru step 100 something. Only thing was the door and some of the inside stuff which I was able to do in the evenings the following week or so. Once done, we started making the garden beds around our new greenhouse. We got some free rocks from some friends, added dirt and weed block fabric. We added a gutter on the back to go with our free rain barrel we got from our community's recycle program. My wife loves it and I enjoy my new duties being the "water boy"

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.

This is so functional and at the same time very aesthetically pleasing. I needed it put together quickly so I hired a local professional to assemble it for me and he was very impressed with the kit and the ease of assembly. Very happy with my purchase. I would suggest putting your finish on before assembling or at least before you put the window panels and roof on.

We stared in the middle of summer heat in GA putting it together. We usually don't leave our house in this heat. It looks beautiful in thr woods. The wood is wonderful quality and the frame is very sturdy. I have wanted a greenhouse mt whole life. Haveing looked at many companies i picked this one company and greenhouse ( Zalie).

I bought it about a month ago for my wife's bday and finally had a long weekend free over the 4th to build it. The written instructions are great. The quality and engineering of all the pieces and parts is high. It did take 2 of us 3 days to fully complete. The toughest part was silicone application to the roof.

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.
