This portable greenhouse is somewhere between a temporary greenhouse and a row cover. You can use it to protect plants which are in the ground as the weather cools, use it to get an early start, or to transition potted plants. It had a lightweight but very solid steel frame and polyetelene with a green webbing which shields it from harsh sun, and prevents it from heating up too much inside. It has 2 large zipped doors which make it easy to access the entire interior. It is also easy to move as your needs change.
I have 3 similar portable greenhouses. This falls in the middle for me in terms of design and utility. It is, however, correspondingly less expensive than the full height greenhouse (with windows). My only complaint is that it does not have windows to allow for air flow. I am using these mostly to portect my vegetable plants, and seed starts from the birds. The first portable I got has a clear coating, light weight shelves and a lighter frame, despite being bigger/ taller. My plants burned up in it. The birds have knocked it over several times and it has blown over, even in a very light wind. The second is a walk in with mesh windows. It is close to ideal (except by comparison to a glass house ;) This comes very close. really lacking only in windows. If I open the doors for air flow I may as well not have it because the birds can get to whatever is inside. I am currently using it to protect seedlings, since they have started digging up my seed flats, for the seeds, and have also attacked delicate seedlings. It is sturdier than the first and the mesh protects my plants from harsh sun. It does not get too hot, and I can vent it by opening and then closing the doors again if it does get too hot.
Sturdy, well designed portable
