Assembly was easy enough, assembled in <30 minutes. Easy enough to move after assembly given its lightweight.
However this didnt work for me, as I wanted to set up a greenhouse to keep plants that required higher humidity than my house or outside could offer. Only problem is the temperatures. On a sunny day this thing absolutely COOKS, my thermometer would register temperatures around 115F even with the windows open and an external fan to increase airflow. It also did not retain heat into the night well at all as it would essentially drop to whatever the ambient temperature was without keeping any warmth even when sealed up. This was in spring long before the summer heat which would make this thing a nonstop oven, until it gets cold at which point it doesnt provide overnight warmth. So essentially the worst of both worlds in terms of what I was looking for.
On paper this tent is fine, and maybe works in other environments, but ultimately useless for my situation.
East to put together, finished in under 30min. Recommend placing against corner of two sound structures or in covered patio. I would not recommend placing in full sun( plastic wont last too long) or open outdoor area, where all four sides get gust of wind. Works great for tropical plants that need warmth and humidity.
Measurements are on point and fits perfectly where we need it. We have a small, but long balcony in the heart of Middle Georgia (hot and humid). We have been trying to grow a small garden in the nook of our balcony. However, the balcony faces south so we get a lot of sun and it fries our plants.
Assembly was relatively easy. I wish there were better directions to assemble the frame. I had a couple situations on the joints that I installed incorrectly and had to reassemble. The tarp can be a one man job, but it would have been easier with a second body helping. Sturdiness is okay. It is not heavy so there is the chance it could blow away in a big storm. Ensure you utilize the tie downs and if you have heavy stones to place on the tarp, do so.
Overall I am pleased with the product. We're looking forward to restarting our garden now that the plants will be protected from the harsh, southern sun.
Withstood 2 hurricanes and my plants grow faster unbothered by harsh winds and pests. When I leave the front flap open overnight, its not unusual to find bees sleeping inside. Between hand pollination, wild pollinator accessability, ventilation (from the windows), etc. This greenhouse has allowed my struggling seedlings to grow up strong and put out healthy fruit.
This product reminds me of knex, an easy to assemble and perfectly performing product. I was able to assemble two by myself and it only took about an hour.
I bought this renewed, so for the price I'm happy with this. It gets too hot to use it in the summer, but im glad i have a place to put my tree's this winter.

It is still in the box I know I will love it I am going to make it a home for my Faries and gnomes

not as expected
Is there a warranty for this item? The zipper is detached because the sewing is not durable.
Impressed!!
I actually enjoyed putting it together! It took me maybe less than 2 hours, with breaks! Exactly what i wanted!! Great value for money!

Good Product.
Two pieces were missing. I was able to replace them in plastic from Home Depot.
Does the job, recommended for patio or secure area

Fits on balcony with ease
