Just finished building this unit. One person with occasional help took 10 days. The materials and craftsmanship were first rate. Plenty of extra parts included and instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. Very happy with the finished project!

We put this together with the help of our friends. This greenhouse fit perfectly into a space in our new backyard where a raised bed had stood. The inside of this greenhouse is spacious enough for our two person inflatable hot-tub as well as winter protection for our more delicate plants. Most of the work occurred during (3) 5 hour Sunday workparties. 1 person sorted and matched required hardware 1 person sealed all the pieces 3 erected walls and assembled the greenhouse. We used a combination of the booklet, the app and assistance from the 1800 number. We were still good enough friends at the end of each day to enjoy a meal together. We took a pause prior to erecting the pergola and unfortunately frozen ground prevents us from moving forward.

We purchased the Bellerose Greenhouse last winter and started to assemble it in the Spring. Several of our neighbors assisted and it turned out to be such an exciting and wonderful project! So much so that we are thinking about purchasing another next year. Assembly was a little challenging but we put our heads together and it worked out fine. We absolutely love the greenhouse and we have been out in our gardens every single day planting, growing, and now storing and planning for Spring again. We even decorated it with lights and a chandelier! What fun! I would highly, recommend this to anyone who loves to garden and wants to improve their outdoor living. The only draw-back is that people keep asking us gardening questions and we are not professionals (yet)!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This greenhouse is the cutest on the market!! I love the pergola front where I hang plants to create an inviting entrance. I get so many compliments from neighbors on this greenhouse! I love that it has a hose hook-up and exhaust fan that comes on automatically based on the temperature I set. The windows are great to alley in a cool breeze. I highly recommend and would buy this again!

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!

This is a great product, and was very well-designed. Step-by-step instructions were detailed and easy to follow. Features like foldable tables, and hanging plant hooks were nice touches. Tables were quite sturdy. One of my helpers, a reasonably heavy guy, stood on one before I could stop him, but it held up nicely. There was a little extra hardware included, so no worries running out of parts. It makes a very attractive addition to our new patio. And my wife loves it, so that's what matters. If I did one of these again: * I would try to seal the wood before assembly to allow for more complete coverage. * I would adjust the order of operation for the roof assembly to allow assembly with only one person without requiring a "helper." * I'd be a little more careful not to cross-thread bolts and nuts. Again, I had a lot of fun with this project, and would highly recommend this company. I'm planning to order a different kit in the future.

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!

I bought the Bellerose XL this spring and I was very pleased from the start. The number of pieces seemed overwhelming but I laid everything out in order as suggested, inventoried, and decided to treat the wood before I built, and I'm glad I did. Just for reference I am a 45 yo single woman and a DIY woodworker. I had a long weekend and was able to build the greenhouse (after being sorted and stained, which took several hours and having the foundation prepared) in about 30 hours almost entirely on my own (even some of the parts that they suggested two people). I had a couple of kids helping me grab the right parts for a few hours one day, a teen help me put the gables on, and then another adult help lift the rafters and one to hold the ridge cap down while I screwed from inside. Otherwise, I was able to do it myself. I'm not saying that to brag, just to encourage anyone else who may be considering it, but thinks it might be too hard. I was incredibly pleased with how well pilot holes lined up and how well bolts and screws sat in place. When instructions said measure, level, and square to within 1/8" allowance, I only gave myself a 1/32" allowance. That's partly perfectionism, but I only had one time I had to loosen a screw to get a window to slide in, everything else was smooth. One thing I will say, on the roof splice pieces, they said five times not to over tighten, so I was careful to go flush, but when putting the splice covers on, that pinched the splice piece down enough that the screws popped up and the covers caught on the screw, which meant sliding the roof panel down and reaching through the roof to tighten up the screws. Don't over tighten but they still need to be tighter than flush. I did have a really good A frame ladder and a portable scaffold, which was a must for me. I love the way it looks and I can't wait to get my plants going. I bought this because of all of the other reviews I read and I'm very happy with the purchase. We had a heavy wind the other day and I couldn't believe how quiet and solid it felt inside. I would recommend.

The reason I picked the Bellerose 11x7 Greenhouse is because of the amenities in the interior of the greenhouse and the beauty of the outside. I love the extra shelving, the fold down counter tops, the way the air flow is set up with the vents low and the fan high near the ceiling. The rack at the back of the greenhouse is great for adding more shelving or decorations. I love the front awning because it really adds to beauty of the outside structure and of course I want to hang flowers from it. The outside of the greenhouse is beautiful with the cedar wood and smells amazing. I put on a preservative that’s oil based in a natural color. I’m so happy with how it turned out!!

I bought the Bellerose back in January. The quality is exceptional. Pieces were cut just right and the hardware is awesome. It's literally like being inside a giant LEGO build. But the biggest advantage is the totality of the solution. Without good ventilation and air flow a greenhouse won't work right. And water inside the greenhouse is a must. This has it all built in. No need for a plumber or electrician either. Hook up the hose and drop cord. Planting bench work area is insane, too. Cannot beat this one for the price.
