I have a small organic farm and wanted to start seeds in my 3-season room instead of out in my greenhouse. This is exactly what I needed. As you can see, I added a horizontal 4' shelf that is 20 deep for a seed starting mat for my peppers. Works great. Easy to assemble and the cover is vinyl with thread woven in so hopefully it won't tear easily. I'm using this indoors, so wind/sturdiness is not a factor. Truthfully, not sure how well it would hold up in windy conditions, But this was exactly what I wanted. I received it in only a few days, much quicker than originally expected. I ordered before Christmas, arrived in a few days even though the ETA was after Christmas.
Got this for Christmas as a starter greenhouse. The steel frame is sturdy enough, but if you live in a high wind area, you NEED to tie this down. Mine blew across the yard with nothing in it weighing it down after a big wind storm. The shelves felt a little flimsy, so I replaced them with wooden slat shelves I made myself. This almost doubled the shelf space since the original only comes with 8 wire shelves. Now I have 15 shelves and the extra weight helps keep it down, but it doesn't weigh so much that I feel like the steel frame is stressesd at all. I'm excited to start planting!
I was wanting a small greenhouse so I could start my seeds early. I'm in South Texas and we have mild winters with just a few days of super cold (32 degrees). Hubby set this up in probably an hour. It's not super sturdy but we put paver tiles in it and it helped with that. We also used double sided sticky Velcro near the door so it's easier to zip. Hubby also made hooks for the door ties so instead of tying the door all I have to do is hook it on the frame.
Also, we put sticky zip tie holders near some of the shelves so the cover (plastic part) wouldn't flap around. He did put planks of wood that we had on the outside flaps near the bottom to hold that in place.
There was a part missing but hubby put a stick in it's place until we get the part delivered. Customer service was quick with their response!
Now I'm just waiting for the seeds to arrive!
After the first season of being outdoors the plastic covering fell apart. I purchased in 2018 and used indoors first. The following year I put outside and made it through one summer in the sun in zone 4/5.
I ordered this with very low expectations. The price was so low I figured the quality would be terrible and it would be a throw away thing. My wife needed something to get a few plants thru the winter. I figured this would be a temporary fix until next spring. I was pleasantly surprised, if put together correctly it is actually very sturdy. It has lots of room and I can stand in it (I am 6'1). The plants have done fine thru several freezing nights. I don't see any reason why this shouldn't last a couple of years. Highly Recommend. Reading some of the negative reviews, I would say they didnt follow the assembly instructions and or did not tether it to the ground
the assembly instructions were 10x worse than any furniture assembly instructions i have seen. although it has a good price point, you will second guess your choice multiple times while attempting to assemble it.
It's seems fine enough the reason it got 3 stars is because the dimensions are over a foot off, I wouldn't have purchased from this company if I would've known the green house was that much smaller.
DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED by the 1 page diagram for instructions. This was so easy to put together. A 1 person job. Advice to gardener... consider placement for airflow.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
VERY SATISFIED
This was a great Saturday afternoon project for my husband and son! Cant wait for the tomatoes to grow! Weve had them in the house and are glad to finally have a home for them outside. Fits well in our small Korean yard.

Great Seed Starting Room

Sturdy frame. Good beginner set.

Covering does not hold up period outdoors.

The best ever
This is the best greenhouse I've ever used. After 30 degree nights I can open it up in the steam is just unbelievable I love love love it
Cant beat it for the money

brain twister assembly instructions

Dimensions are wrong
It's seems fine enough the reason it got 3 stars is because the dimensions are over a foot off, I wouldn't have purchased from this company if I would've known the green house was that much smaller.
Don't be intimidated
