Great greenhouse, but instructions are poor

The instructions are difficult to follow, with some steps depending on later steps. Watching a video and laying out all parts beforehand helps. The greenhouse feels sturdy, though the doors need assistance to stay closed. Overall, it is a great small greenhouse.

Pros

  • + great small greenhouse

Well-Engineered Greenhouse Kit Requires Assembly

This greenhouse kit is well engineered but assembly is challenging and not suited for those who dislike ready-to-assemble projects. The instructions are lacking, though common sense and tool skills can overcome this. Total build time is around 12 hours, including constructing a deck for mounting. The final result is satisfying, and the kit offers unbeatable value for the price.

Pros
  • + well engineered
  • + good value for the price
  • + satisfying results
Cons
  • − assembly is difficult
  • − instructions are lacking

Worth It for the Price

Purchased on sale and found it worth the price. Setup took a few days with a few hours daily and requires patience, as many connections are tension-controlled and instructions are sometimes unclear. The 6x8 size is a bit short with a narrow door, and the roof latch and wind-moved vent are weak points. The polycarbonate panels are about 1/4 inch thin, though the frame allows doubling. It withstood Oregon rainstorms and 20mph winds, keeping plants above freezing with three heat lamps. Limes, chamomile, mint, strawberries, and orchids thrived. A 1/4-inch short header bar made the door hard to close initially.

Pros
  • + worth the price
  • + withstands rain and wind
  • + keeps plants above freezing with heat lamps
  • + supports limes, chamomile, mint, strawberries, orchids
  • + metal frame is good quality
  • + space to double panels
Cons
  • − a bit short
  • − narrow door
  • − roof latch not great
  • − vent moved by wind
  • − thin polycarbonate panels
  • − instructions unclear
  • − header bar 1/4 inch short
  • − door hard to close initially

Sturdy greenhouse with unclear instructions

This greenhouse feels sturdy and works well. The main drawback is the instructions: the first wall assembly did not specify which hardware was needed, forcing a partial disassembly, while the second wall assembly included a note about the correct bracket orientation. Extra care and time are needed to understand the instructions, especially the details.

Pros
  • + sturdy construction
  • + works nicely
Cons
  • − unclear instructions
  • − missing hardware details in first wall assembly
