I grow mostly dahlias and I used this to start my tubers, seedlings and cuttings. It is pretty sturdy and it did well in mild hail, heavy rains, and 30 mph wind. I put it on my patio, so I could not anchor it with tie downs. Instead I used 2x4s on top of the cover flaps which are~8 at the ground and I put my bags of potting soil on the bottom racks until I got the upper shelves fill.
It did get to hot for some of my tubers as soon as the days started to warm up into the 70's, even with the windows open and I did loose a few that were on the upper shelves. To increase the ventilation, I left the door open an put a woven shade cloth over the front door frame.
Only minor problems. One of the door ties ripped at the seam (easy fit). Also during assembly, one connector was missing and one connector fitted poorly and when I press hard to get the pole fully in place it busted. Both were quickly and kindly replaced at no charge by the supplier and the they gave me extras, all at no charge. <3
Assembly was simply all the poles and the connectors were labelled and it came with a diagram. I'm 61 and I got it together by myself.
This greenhouse has worked great for me
