I bought this a few weeks ago and we are impressed with the quality and features of this greenhouse. Although it was a lengthy build everything went together very easily. My wife keeps showing her coworkers, friends and family pictures and is in love with it!

We just bought this last month and almost done putting it together. My husband said more than once how impressed he was with the design, easy to follow instructions and no missing pieces. Just believe me when I say there were a lot of pieces lol. He also loved the quality and how sturdy it is. Looking forward to finishing the last details to start our greenhouse journey.

I ordered and received shipment in about 10 days. 8 large boxes my husband was able to unload with a Bobcat. We were both pleased with the quality of the wood and hardware. Remember to water seal all of the lumber before assembling. This step was t in the directions however a follow up email about the 5 year warranty stated this should be done followed by annual applications. The directions and assembly went very smoothly. I am super excited to start using it this spring!

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!

We absolutely love our Bellerose 11 x 13 greenhouse! It’s beautiful and great quality, sturdy, squares up nicely, had plenty of extra hardware, and has some nice features such as the shelving, the back wall for hooks, the exhaust fan and the hose hook up. We definitely compared lots of different options before purchasing, and we feel like this one gave us the best size and quality for the money. And in the end, it was well worth it to go with cedar. Although it’s quite a long assembly manual, it’s very detailed and doable if you just take it step-by-step. They provide an online video tutorial, but we actually just preferred the paper manual. Just pay attention to the pilot holes and the notes in red and you won’t have any issues. All in all the hardware is quality and each piece was marked well. There was only a handful of times where the pilot holes didn’t lineup perfectly. But nothing that caused any major problems. Get the roof sections squared was a little challenging, but wr expected that to be the case. We recommend using a square throughout assembly of each section to help ensure that the whole thing will be in square at the end. My husband and I assembled this together and it took us a total of 45 hours over the course of a week. We are very detailed people and my husband tends to take things slowly when assembling to make sure there are no mistakes. So there could definitely be people out there who could do it quicker than we did. Those 45 hours included moving the boxes from our driveway to the backyard location, and also opening the boxes and inventorying everything. Just those two things took 3-4 hours, but it was an important part of the process and made things go quicker later. We highly recommend laying out all of the cedar alphabetically for ease of finding each piece during the building process. We also did the same for the hardware. There is a lot of it, so you’ll definitely want to order it numerically. We used one of the large cardboard boxes to lay out all of the hardware numerically. And we were also able to write on the cardboard to label the top of each column. For example 100s, 200s etc. since each bag of hardware is labeled with a number. That way we knew exactly where to go when we had to find a certain piece. It was a definite timesaver in the end. One other thing that we found to be helpful was for one of us to gather the pieces required for the next step while the other one was assembling the parts in the previous step. Teamwork makes the dream work! ;) Side note: we decided to have a concrete pad poured as the base, with a trench drain down the middle for drainage. We poured the pad and additional 12 inches in both length and width as compared to the footprint of the greenhouse. If you go this route be sure to check the exact specs because it’s not exactly 11 x 13 (it’s 11’6” x 13’11’). And you’ll want to decide if you want the pergola to be on the concrete pad or not. We opted for not, and we will just put small concrete footers under the posts of the pergola. We also just wanted to note that we purchased our own 2 x 4 cedar planter for the center since there was so much room in there. We also purchased some string lights for the perimeter and hanging pots for the back wall. So you will see these things in our photos, but they did not come with the greenhouse. Bottom line, we highly recommend this greenhouse and can’t wait to start using it.

We installed this greenhouse this summer and are eating lettuce we grew from seed all the way into late november. The greenhouse is functional as well as really pretty. The shelves are all sturdy and functionally placed. Best of all is the pergola in front where we planted grape plants and are looking forward to watching them vine onto the pergola for a gorgeous and functional arbor.

I researched other greenhouses, but loved that this is made from cedar with polycarbonate windows. The icing on the cake was that the kit came with a fan, plumbing, and electrical outlets. My reason for choosing the Backyard discovery Bellarose version was the beautiful pergola! We built a TRex deck to place the greenhouse on, making a level start. My husband is pretty skilled and he and I built the deck and assembled the greenhouse in a week. The instructions were very clear. We inventoried everything first and organized the lumber by ID number. Just know that hardware is in multiple boxes (including a small box you think is plumbing only). My negative issues are as follows: The protective film on the door and the pre-assembled triangular windows was stuck between the window and the plastic track. This means you either have to use a knife to pry it open to dig out the plastic or leave it there, which for me was not an option. The obnoxious blue protective film for the metal roof pieces needs to have to pull it off during a full assembly, especially if it is warm. It is awful to get started. You need fingernails or a sharp knife (which risks scratching the metal) to start the stuff. Honestly, this was one of the worst parts of the build. With all that said, we love the Bellarose greenhouse. And are now looking at the Backyard Discovery pergolas!

Ordered this in the spring, it arrived in the summer and I just built it last week. The quality of the materials and hardware seems very good. It is nice that extra hardware is included. There are a LOT of materials! It is very helpful to pre-sort all the materials and lay them out in groups to save yourself a lot of time. I still had to spend a lot of time finding hardware and materials. The instructions are fairly well written and easy to follow, just make sure you play close attention to the photos.Carefully read through the instructions on each step at least twice to make sure you don’t miss anything and assemble it correctly. Was very impressed during the assembly and construction with how sturdy and secure everything was going together. I will be very impressed with this greenhouse as long as it holds up to the Wyoming weather for years.

1st and foremost I was overwhelmed by the amount of parts after opening all 10 boxes. The finished product is amazing and no missing parts. First let me start off my saying I am very handy and run own a landscape company. Me and 2 of my guys took just over 30 hours to construct the greenhouse alone. They recommend 2 people but having the third was extremely helpful with getting thigs ready for the next steps. We poured a concrete pad because the area we are putting it is very sandy. It took almost 4 hours to separate all of the pieces out of the boxes and put the together by their numbers & definitely put all of the bags of screw, nuts, bolts etc. in number order. This will cut your time in half. We highly recommend installing the BILT app and go between the paper instruction and the app because it helps a lot with certain areas. the paper instructions are very undetailed as the app you can move and look from different angles. It was very overwhelming but being everything was predrilled & labeled to made it very easy. It is a beautiful structure and very well made.

Overall the quality was very good - only criticism is the screw holes on the window hinges should be alternated because the screws abut when the window is closed and it's tight. The amount of lumber and hardware is daunting, but it was fun to put together and I know I'll be very happy with it for years to come!
