I caught this on sale and I am so pleased. I was worried the green covering would tear in the wind, but it seems strong. All the seams have held up. It took me about an hour and a half to put together, but it wasnt hard. It was just time consuming, but the directions are very easy. The only problem I had (and it is minor) was that I didnt have enough green zip ties to secure all the shelves. If you put one on all 4 corners of the shelves, you only have enough for one side of the greenhouse. Luckily, I had some clear zip ties at home to finish the other side. It could be the manufacturer only intended for buyers to have two ties per shelf, but then that wouldnt adequately secure them. Still, its such a great buy. When I first saw the skinny poles, I was worried it wouldnt seem stable, but it all came together nicely and is stronger than I thought. I put green duct tape around where the poles connect together to make it stronger in a storm. There are two windows on the greenhouse that have tent like screens. They are very nice, but I wish there were four. We have had 76 degree weather and have to open both windows and roll the door up or it gets 90 to 100 degrees in the greenhouse. It comes with small stakes, but I recommend using patio blocks inside to weight the bottom of the greenhouse down. Just sit them on the bottom raiIs. We did that and used the ties with different stakes and it helped the greenhouse survive a bad storm tonight. I started seeds way before the end of March and already have lettuce, jalepenos, tomatoe plants, and cucumbers. Hang a battery powered fan in the top and that helps keep bugs out of you need to leave the door open. The zippers seem cheap, but we tied string on them to help unzip and zip up the greenhouse. Eight 12 inch patio blocks fit nicely, on the ground, in between the shelves. There are things that can be better, but for the price, and what you can make of it, its such a great buy and it definitely works!
A great buy, strong covering, works!!!
