This took me a couple months to assemble. Definitely the foundation was the most difficult and time-consuming part of the project. There aren't instructions for that, so be ready to do a little research if you're unfamiliar. We looked up gravel shed foundations. The passive ventilation system was not enough to cool it where I live, so I added a misting system. Adding lights soon since it's getting darker earlier and earlier where I live. I love this greenhouse! It's beautiful, it's fun! I wish they'd had the XL version when I bought mine in the spring. I haven't really had the chance to use it yet because I got it for houseplants and it's already starting to get too cold at night where I live, but I'm very excited for next spring! The quality of the fasteners, hardware, and wood was fantastic. It didn't feel like it should be as affordable as it all was. I'm a technical writer as my job and I was impressed by the physical instruction manual (they are accurate, the pictures are almost always very clear, with great angles selected to get the most information across), but you do have to be a little on your guard with them. Sometimes, if you weren't really paying attention, you could do a step that looked very similar to a previous one and not realize there was a subtle change, like one part was upside down now. So you might end up doing it wrong while being very confident you were doing it right. (If whoever does the instructions reads this, you could add warnings that the orientation of a part is different from previous similar steps.) So yeah, pay careful attention to each step, and especially to any red text. And look for addendums before you get started and tuck them into the manual! You will need two physically strong people to do the roof. I (a somewhat wimpy lady in her early thirties) was not able to contribute much with some of the roof assembly steps. If I didn't have two strong folks to help me I could not have finished this project.

My wife and I received this greenhouse the end of February and started assembling it last weekend. We unboxed everything and sorted by part number and had a table set up for hardware. We followed the instructions and finished the setup this evening. The instructions were clear everything was cut and drilled perfectly. Between the two of us it took about 34 hours but we working every step together, we did not divide and con. I did the last few steps on my own and my wife was disappointed because she warp finish it with m! This is absolutely beautiful and really adds a level of elegance as was as practicality. We built it on 8 inch of compacted limestone and added pavers under the pergola. Thank you backyard discovery!

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!!

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)!

Purchased a little over a month ago. LOVE It!!!

Beautiful and easy to install, took us about 10 days to construct. So happy with this purchase!

Purchase the Bella Rose greenhouse, and I’ve been assembling it along with staining it with each section. Instructions are very clear, cut and straightforward and assembly is easy once you get organized

I have been using this Greenhouse for 3+ months. I love how sturdy it is. I've been growing different varieties of plants. I added misters to keep it cooler during the heat.

I absolutely LOVE my Bellerose Greenhouse. I especially love the adjustable shelving. I have gotten so many compliments and friends wanting to do spring starters with me, I wish I would have gotten the bigger model!

We purchased this in June. It was very easy to put together. The directions were great. We love the way it looks and all the shelves to work on. Nice to have a place to put my plants before the freeze.
