Very Spacious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This greenhouse is super spacious. There is plenty of room for plants on the shelves as well as standing potted plants. It doesn’t get too hot when you are inside with the ventilation and the ability to open up windows and door. The added pergola adds such a nice touch to the overall look. Definitely recommend!

13x11 was exactly what I wanted

We bought this on preorder, and were shipped it quickly and safely once the product became available. The boxes took up an entire car space in our garage, so plan ahead for parts storage. Some boxes came damaged but the wood inside was fine, and BD make it very clear they will replace parts broken in shipping for free. My father and my husband teamed up to build it. It took two power drills, hammers, various other tools I’m forgetting, and three full days of work from both of them to get just the outside shell built. These are not craftsmen, but they’re no slouches when it comes to work. It took another two weeks of late fall evening work for hubby and I to get everything sealed and the inside built. It is a slow, methodical process and you really do need two people for parts of it. But it’s so, so worth it. The quality of the build and the wood are more than I could have dreamed of from a flat-pack kit. And the instructions! it’s an app which allows you to click on every single part and get the part number, twist and turn the image to better understand the instructions, and even comes with a voiceover if you need it. 100/10 just for the instruction app, it’s free and amazing and perfect. (Paper instructions are included as well for the less tech savvy)

Biggest LEGO kit ever!

Everything was delivered in great shape. We unboxed everything and tried to sort as we went onto a trailer that we pulled to the backyard while we built the greenhouse. It took about 90 minutes to get all the boxes opened and sorted. My son and my neighbor helped me build this and it took us about 3.5 days total. The first day, we built all four walls. It took about 4-5 hours to get those done, standing up and connected to one another. A lot of time was spent "finding" the right pieces of wood and hardware. The second day was putting all of the wood panels on, installing the windows, and putting in the benchtops. Everything went into place relatively easily. Two areas we had challenges: 1) a couple spots where we had to make a minor cut on the trim with a flat woodworkers handsaw but I think that was 3 pieces total. And 2) the benchtops were not quite level with the backwall as we installed them, so we adjusted to the same height and maintained level as we went to the front. The third day, we built the rafters and ridge boards. Installed those (46 yo and 68 yo men) and it wasn't too difficult. We installed the roof panels and metal covers, along with the soffits and other metal pieces. Similar to other reviews, we kept the metal pieces out of the sun and the blue coverings were still a bear to get off...but we got them done. On the last day, we finished the flashing, built and mounted the ridge cap, built the pergola and finished the remaining things inside the greenhouse. It looks great...I know my wife is looking forward to using it!

Fun to build

Just completed assembly with my wife. We could not believe the attention to detail of this kit. Some details were for structural strength and some for appearance. All pre-drilled holes and pilot holes were dead-on. The only mistakes we ran into were because we missed a required step. The instructions were perfect, the included hardware and tools were excellent. It was enjoyable to build. The only thing I would like to see is designing the door to open either left side or right side. We are looking forward to planting now!

The Lexus of Cedar Greenhouses

I am about 2/3 of way finished building the 13x11 greenhouse and I am completely amazed at the quality, engineering and hardware. I have built 2 large cedar greenhouses in my former property from the only other competitor that makes them bigger than 8x10. Those greenhouses were great, still standing tall and strong after 10+ years. Those greenhouses were reliable, strong and tons of fun. But if those greenhouses were a reliable Toyota Camry, then this one is a Lexus. First, the instructions - both paper and 3D instructions on the app, are hands down the best instructions I have ever seen in my life. The wood seems high quality. The metal hardware to put everything together with all the pre-drilled holes is strong and convenient. Every piece of wood is labeled (there were only 2 pieces not labeled - little bit of a pain to figure it out, but nothing major). The options (temp controlled fan, windows, pergola) all great features. Love the large square shape. Only thing to be wary - says it doesn't need to be stained, which is true. But, you do have to put water sealant on it, so same thing. However, if you just use Thompson's semi-transparent cedar stain protector, you get a beautiful color of cedar shining through. I put this on my new patio so I could have a level starting point and also put 4x4 treated wood under the frame to protect the greenhouse frame longer. Living in New England, I plan to put foam insulation around the cedar walls and seal it up so it can be. used as a 4-season greenhouse.
