Somewhat easy to assemble, lightweight, but ripped at the seam while carefully installing the cover, whatever material is used for the seams doesn't seem as it will hold up outside.
This thing is big! I mean really nice for the price.
The local Garden store chain has a similar one for nearly twice the cost. When it arrived I had to lug it through mud about 200 foot and it was not easy.
I laid everything out and took inventory. There was a few extra of every one of the fasteners except the nuts and one course that was the only one the had one with no threads. Oh well, I have plenty of them so I didn't care.
What I did care about was trying to assemble it with no help was crazy. You literally need to hold 3 parts while driving the bolts. Please take my advise and wait until you have someone to at least steady some pieces while you attach the fasteners.
Now the big issue!!!!
I was about 1/4 of the way done and even had enough built that it stood on it's own when I let go.
Then, the arcs came to an impossible situation. There was two females aimed at each other. I read the instructions a dozen times but I had it correct (at least to the instructions). then I realized there was a typo in the instructions on page 2. It clearly calls out two 2s.
Honestly it doesn't matter which side you change but one of them must be a '3'. then the triple arc will flow correctly.
After that it went well. Took about an hour for the whole build.
One thing these companies do that drives me nuts is that they photo-shop 'stuff' in the so-called finished product. In this case they made this unit look tiny. It is not. It is very roomy. I know I will be able to put two full size planting tables in there.
Last, they give plastic plugs and caps. These really help when you are pulling the cover over to keep it from snagging. Being 7 foot, I wasn't sure how the cove would install but it went over very well and still fit snug. We are just getting into the windy season here in Michigan so I took the cover back off for about another month but it was a breeze to do.
So make that one adjustment in step 2 and have two people and you should have not issues
I hope you found this review helpful.
I should have gotten one of these years ago! I will need to take care of the cover, although the frame will last a long time with proper care. I can also take it down after the chill is over.
I've been trying to put this thing together since yesterday and since the only directions are very basic drawings, I have no idea what goes where or how!
This greenhouse is big, it is like a min version of commercial greenhouses. The poles slip together easily and it takes no time at all to have a greenhouse. Thease are heavy duty metal poles and have some weight to them, be sure to have muscles around when this arrives as the strength is in the weight of the metal.
If my excitemount about this item changes I will update my review.
here are some key points in my overall experience with this product:
- helps extend gardening season and will be able to garden a bit in the winter
- A decent size, i would describe this as a medium sized green house
- i've put together a few greenhouses before, so I didn't have any trouble putting it together
- I like that this one has two support bars on top, when most have just one going down the center
- overall sturdy- metal seems a bit more sturdy than other ones I have had in the past
- good value for money (currently only $100)
- overall good product and experience!

Seams
Somewhat easy to assemble, lightweight, but ripped at the seam while carefully installing the cover, whatever material is used for the seams doesn't seem as it will hold up outside.
some zippers should go opposite direction

Missing cover with doors and one post
Order missing the cover with doors and one pole Useless without them
Very large and well thought out. Only one mistake but it's a big one.

This was just what my garden needed!

No directions, only pictures
