Greenhouse

Perfect so far! I was able to assemble it myself in about an hour and a half, including reinforcing the shelves with cable ties and getting the sides weighted down with big landscape rocks. I've added a couple weights inside on the center bars since taking this photo. I screwed a hook into the deck on either side and used that to tie the ropes down from the upper corners. The provided rope doesn't seem very strong so I'll probably buy some stronger tent tie-down straps and use those instead. When assembling, make sure the poles are inserted completely into their connectors. At some points I thought they were fully pushed in and they weren't, resulting in a difference of an inch or more - which is, I suspect, why some people report trouble getting the cover to fit over the frame. You can really increase the size of the frame by inadvertently not pushing those pipes all the way in. Once I had them all fully seated, the cover slipped on with no problems - not even tight, no pulling anywhere. It sits perfectly around the frame. I've got heavy landscape rocks sitting on top of the outside 6 inches of tarp that overhangs the sides. Once I added a few zip ties to each shelf to hold the wire shelving to the frame, they seem decently sturdy. We haven't had bad weather yet, but it seems like this will stay put with the weights I've put inside on top of the frame bars and outside along the sides, as well as the tie-downs. The door zipper seems sturdy and I've had no issues after a week of zipping and unzipping it. I'm 5 foot 6 and have to duck a tiny bit to get in the door. Here's hoping the squirrels leave it alone!

This is a review for the 56”x56”x75” “Durable Green House Kit with Windows, Thicken PE Cover, Three Tiers, 8 Shelves, Heavy Duty Walk-in Green House.“Style-2” $69.99 after applying $20 “coupon”August 2024I bought this greenhouse with the intention of using it early next year when I begin sowing seeds for the gardening season. But I went ahead and assembled it to make sure everything was there, and in proper order, within the 30-day return window… and am currently using it to cover a new pool pump/sand filter with salt chlorinator (review coming soon 🙂), for the last month of the swimming season… and then will pack it up until I need it for my gardening adventures. I will update this review… if I run across anything noteworthy as I get more use out of it.Pros:• Packaged & organized well. Pole packages have the part ID (numerical) labeled on the outside of each individual package. The fittings are mixed together in one large bag, but nearly all of them are marked with the part ID (alphabetical)… the only fittings not marked are those for the roof pitch… which are obvious and installed last.• Instructions were clear and easy to follow… as the design is fairly repetitive.• After laying out the parts & skimming over the instructions… it took me about 45 minutes to assemble the greenhouse by myself.Cons:• The ground stakes are tiny (~5.5” long & ~1/8” diameter) and likely insufficient for mild wind gusts. Of course the additional weight of laying bricks or heavy stones along the bottom edge of the cover… and/or having items on the shelves… should help secure it some. However, I feel using larger ground stakes is the best option… and as inexpensive as they are… they should be included with the $70 price point.• The inside ties, to secure the cover to the frame, are long enough to easily tie a standard tight knot… but not long enough to tie in a way that’s easier to untie.• The inside cover ties, at the bottom of the cover… should all be long enough to tie onto the bottom of the frame (versus only the vertical corner rod)… to help keep the cover pulled as close to the ground as possible. However, only two of the bottom ties were long enough to do so. The other two had to be tied to the vertical corner rod… which, even with some paver stones laid along the outer flap… the cover “rides up” the corner pole when the greenhouse moves while opening/closing etc. Tho I suppose that may be more of a personal preference thing… since, either way, the inside of the greenhouse is not sealed off from the earth.{In the spring, I am going to use something like small zip-ties, carabiner clips, or binder rings to better connect the cover ties to the frame.}• The shelves are composed of thin wire and are not suitable for very much weight. I would advise using lightweight, plastic containers… particularly if the size is smaller than the width of the framing bars the shelves sit on. (If the container will cover over the framing bars… the bars will add a bit of additional support.) Overall, just be mindful of the shelves, watch for any “sagging”, and consider adding extra bracing if needed.• The, two per shelf, “plastic hooks”, intended to secure the wire shelves to the framing bars, are totally worthless. I recommend using small zip-ties instead… as they’ll keep the shelves from sliding and add additional support against sagging and collapsing from the weight of plant containers.• The small side windows do not zip or seal shut. They are supposed to be held closed by Velcro in the lower corners. However, the Velcro on mine do not line up… so the window cover does not lay flat over the window opening. This doesn’t matter for my needs, but could be remedied with the addition and proper placement of additional Velcro… either stick-on or use glue to apply.Tips/Additional Info:• It really helped me to have all of the parts laid out and organized before beginning.• Consider using zip-ties, etc as mentioned under “cons.”• Def follow the recommendations for installing the cover… recheck all fittings, to make sure they’re pushed together tightly… unzip the cover door… and start from the rear roof pitch and work forward. If there’s a spot where the cover doesn’t seem to fit… check the fittings again… as some do sort of slip a bit when the frame is being moved around.• Use better quality ground stakes… unless the greenhouse will be protected from wind gusts and kids/animals running wild.• “Three tiers” includes the ground. There are only wire shelving for the upper two tiers.• While nearly all plastic covers have some sort of odor to them when first opened… this one wasn’t overwhelming or anything that required “airing out” before putting together.Overall, I think this will work well for my early, small gardening needs… but I’ll have to wait and see as far as how well it holds up and all. I’m hoping it will do until I’m able to finish gathering everything needed to put together a much sturdier DIY greenhouse-Price-wise… between the sub-par ground stakes and shelving stability… along quality control issues, like the cover ties and window Velcro… I feel like this should be more around a $50 price point instead of $70 (after coupon discount)… but also understand that everything is higher than what it should be these days. (Either way, I definitely would not pay any more than $70.)Again… I will update this review if anything noteworthy comes up along the way. Until then… if you find any of my reviews to be helpful… please consider hitting that thumbs up button. 😊

Easy to assemble and larger than expected. I definitely recommend.

I purchased this greenhouse for my daughter-in-law. I also purchased tent stakes (12” metal) and was told it was a great addition. Easy to put up, use, and easy yo pack away until next year. She’s very happy with it.

I was originally not going to write a review, but then this thing made it through Hurricane Milton. Photo attached from after the hurricane. Alright, I bought this greenhouse back in February as I am quite the planty person and Spring was coming in hot. I live in rural central FL and have plenty of woods around for shade, but I also added a shade cloth for extra measure. We bought paracord, T posts to hammer into the ground, and landscaping bricks to hold down the plastic on the outside as well as some extra weight and reinforcement to hold it down. It has been a wonder for my tropical plants and one day I hope to upgrade to a professional level greenhouse, this is a wonderful starter and has been well worth my money. A lot of reviews say it’s not built to last forever and I get that, it has like two small tears and the ties have begun to dry rot but I just sling the door over the roof when I need to get in and voila problem solved. This thing is lit and I’m riding with it until the wheels fall off.
