"We've been in need of a small greenhouse for some time now and finally got around to researching and picked this one. We chose to assemble it on a wood deck base, an investment of roughly 60 dollars. Assemble was simple enough, despite not having written instructions. The assembly instructions are in illustrations, which is fine, very detailed,easy to understand. My only advice to prospective buyers is to carefully observe the illustrations. I had to back track a few times due to fasteners being installed in the wrong holes, etc. Overall assembly was easy enough. Working by myself, I had it assembled and ready to our seedlings in about 5 hours. As light wieght as it is, I find it to be much sturdier than it looks. The weather will give it a good test in the coming days with wind and rain, but I feel confident our little green house will hold up just fine.Update: Well it's been around a week or so since we've completed our greenhouse and put into service. We've experienced some heavy rains and weather since then and the house has not leaked and held together perfectly. It does warm up pretty quickly as the sun rises, so we may upgrade to an auto ventilation arm, but for now we easily just open the vent manually and close it it in the evenings to protect our seedlings, which by the way are doing great. It is much roomier than I had expected and has accomodated a small work table and shelves. Do I recommend this greenhouse???? Heck Yeah!Update on September 5, 2020It’s been a few years and our greenhouse is going strong. This year we relocated it to make room for a pool project. I removed the screws securing it to the wood base we had built and carried the whole house to the new location. All is good, then comes Hurricane Laura. We live in North Louisiana by the time she came through she was still a strong Cat 1 Hurricane. Heavy rains , sustained 60 mph winds, and gusts of 75 to 90. The only damage was the vent came off, my fault as I overlooked that in our storm preps. I straightened up the auto ventilation arm and reattached the whole thing.Update Part 2. Going on 5 years now and I continue to sing this little greenhouse’s praises. In the last year 2020 into 2021 we have experienced two hurricanes in North Louisiana that blew through as Cat 1, winds 70 mph with higher gusts, tropical downpours. A tornado event with hail. Several inches of snow followed weeks later by a once in a lifetime ice and snow storm. And our little house has stood up to it all. No cracks, no metal deterioration, everything works like the day we assembled it. And our seedlings seem to like it too. Lightweight but tough and durable and it still looks great. Worth every penny and I still highly recommend it to anyone who needs a small backyard greenhouse."

The media could not be loaded. Here are my first impressions and setup tips.1. Installation: While some reviews found the assembly challenging, I thought it was pretty simple, just need to be patient and follow directions in order. The directions are similar to IKEA’s, where it’s mostly graphical, with a few notes scattered throughout where more detail is necessary. It’s recommended to have two people working together during installation. I only had 1 issue with the roof bracket instructions. The part number placement did not match the placement depicted by the image. This only cost me about 30 minutes extra since I had to remove 2 roof panels to move the window placement. It was no big deal and was an easy fix.2. Sturdiness: So far, it does seem very sturdy. I placed the green house on 4x6 wood frame surrounded by gravel. Using lag bolts to secure the base frame to the wood. At first, it did not feel sturdy and I started to have doubts, but by the time everything was secured, it actually feels really sturdy. It’s only been up for a couple weeks and we have had a few storms, with high winds; there was no issues what so ever.3. Panels: Panels are very clear and provide plenty of sunlight to come in. The hybrid model has different panels for the roof which also helps trap heat and apparently blocks UV rays. Other reviews say they fly out with high wind. I haven’t experience this yet, and they do feel like the windows are locked in pretty well. However, I will take some extra precautions and use some caulk to try and secure them down, just in case.Tips and recommendations:1. Panels: The corner wall panels were a bit hard to put in, and we got one stuck as we were sliding it in. We found it was way easier to take the corner post out, slide the panels into the corner post, then put the corner back in like it was one piece. While you are building this, walls are not secured and constantly moving, causing some misalignment, which makes it hard to slide the panels in. Putting the corners together as one piece helped tremendously.2. Parts: One major recommendation is to count all parts, separate them and place them in clearly marked bags. We did not have any parts missing. All small parts went into bags and big parts were organized, so all like parts were together. You will have extra parts left over, review directions, it’s marked which parts have extra pieces. As mentioned earlier, we did not have issues with directions, but we followed one page at a time and only got parts that we needed for that page.3. Take your time: It took about 3-4 days to put together, working on it a little bit at a time. It gets very hot in the green house when you get towards the end, so have plenty of water handy if you’re working in the sun.Update: After one season.Well, I now see why other users complained about losing panels. After 1 very strong wind storm, roughly 30+ mile an hour winds, one roof panel came half way off. However, the solution was simple. I made kinda of a net with covered steel cable and clamps. See video, and pic of the final solution. I also added some more caulking near the top of the roof, since that is where the panel came out. Pretty sure this will solve the problem.tkoen

I bought this little greenhouse as a better shelter for my plants than my garage, where I usually overwinter peppers and flowers. I was initially skeptical of any kind of shelter out of a box, there's just so much crap out there, but after assembling this little structure I am really happy with the construction and quality. I work in manufacturing, specifically in designing event structures very similar to this greenhouse on a larger scale, and this is a really nice design.Holes line up like they are supposed to. All the necessary parts and fasteners were included, with spares for when you drop screws in the grass. The plastic parts are sturdy and actually fit. The only time I had any problems with assembly whatsoever was when I did something wrong in the previous step. All I can say is Wow.The directions read like Lego prints, all pictures, but they are well done and pretty easy to follow. There are videos and web pages available, but I did not need them. It took me about a day and 3 hours to assemble everything by myself. I anchored it down with hooked edging stakes, which fit nicely on the galvanized steel base rail.We'll see how well it protects the plants from the frost. Fingers crossed.leslie in umpqua or

I bought this for a more permanent replacement for one of those plastic tunnel ones that just wouldn't stop leaking at the seams. It was hard to find one at least 6x10..since I had a 7 x 16 but this was largest I could afford right now. The directions are almost 80 pages, because it is pictoral with many languages. First thing I did was remove all the non-English pages. I had looked at the manul before greenhouse arrived and was a bit intimidated, especially after looking at all the parts! I was easily able to do this by myself, but two people would make it much easier. I used a ladder, some bungie cords and some celophane tape as a substitute human (no talking back either!). It is also pretty handle to have a small pair of needlenose pliers to tighten some of the nuts. You also need caulk which isn't listed in supplies needed. Some of the directions weren't too clear, but overall they are well written. If you skip forward to see what happens next to whatever part you are confused about, it is more clear. I did have to disassemble a few parts, then reassemble them. They do give you extra hardware. The number tags on some pieces were missing or got wet from dew after I unpacked box, so best to rewrite numbers in black felt tip. They do a VERY good job of compressing the parts for shipping and that did cause some of my clear side panels and metal pieces to get scratched because they were crammed together. Depending on model you buy, there will be "extra" hardware holes as pieces are interchangeable in some places. So, no, you didn't forget a page, some holes just don't get used (which was a good thing since they were never going to line up!). I'm happy that I am done!!becca

I saved up for 18 months to buy this stupid greenhouse. I decided to buy one in like new condition to save a little money. BIG MISTAKE ! Apparently the used ones are not sold by palram. There sold by a 3rd party. God help you if you buy from 3rd party!So I get this home. Unfortunately I didn’t know it was supposed to be in two boxes.If you don’t know you can’t just assemble this and throw it out in your yard. You have to site prep and pour a foundation.I’m in Las Vegas in June. It was 120 degrees outside with hurricane force winds (80mph). The weather was too bad to build this right away. So it sat in my entryway for two months,until it finally cooled down enough to be outside.I had a lot of trouble getting the cement to pour the foundation with. I don’t have a car so I had to find someone who would deliver it. When I finally got the concrete I decided to assemble the base of the greenhouse to make sure everything was in the right place to pour the concrete.When I opened the box, I was horrified to find out that I only had the polycarbonate. There’s nothing in box one besides the polycarbonate. No frame, no bolts, no nuts, no instructions. Nothing but polycarbonate and I have no way of knowing if that’s all the polycarbonate or not because there’s no paperwork of any kind in the box.Unfortunately this happened on a Sunday, so there’s nothing I can do because no one answered the phone on Sunday. I contact amazon. There’s no way to contact palram through amazon. So I tried calling palram ram but no one answered because it was Sunday.On Monday I contacted amazon who told me to call palram. So I called palram for the second time. At least someone answered the second time. They said that they were the wrong department and I needed to palram’s amazon department. So I called there amazon department and I get a recording that says “if you’re missing one of your boxes press one “. Which is a huge red flag. So I press one and they say “sorry you bought from 3rd party so it’s not are problem. Call amazon “. So I contacted amazon. The said that I could have a refund if I returned the package. I don’t have a car and this thing weighs 69 pounds. So they said no problem will have it picked up from your place.So pick up day one comes and goes. NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP !I contacted amazon AGAIN and they say no problem will reschedule.Pick up day 2 comes and goes. NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP !So I tried contacting UPS and there website said “your package is to heavy . We won’t take it “. But then I found thats not even true.So now I’m waiting on a 3rd pick up. Which may or may not show up.Also this polycarbonate seems very thin and poor quality. Don’t buy.hi my name is

It’s a kit so we have to be open minded.Pros:Attractive, great size, lean-to shape is a win, fits two people and shelves inside, it’s functional, perfect for a small backyard.Cons:Plants get sun burned if no shades installed. Structure is very noisy in the wind. (Plastic panels bang on the metal frame and sounds like loud thunder.) I worried about it angering my neighbors.Needs to be anchored to whatever structure it will butt up against as a lean-to design. (Drilling into said structure required).Difficult to put together. Takes a minimum of two people to install. Feels somewhat flimsy until it’s completely installed.We knew when we bought this that we’d be improving upon it at the Home Depot or Lowe’s (and we did).Neutral:It can get really hot inside depending on where you live. (This can kill seedlings). This is not the structures fault.Improvements:We first considered plexiglass but that costs just as much as the kit to replace the clear side panels for noise reduction. Due to the cost we didn’t do this.We glued and screwed furring strips on the exterior of the panels locking the panels in tight, eliminating movement of the panels. It no longer bangs in the wind. (Improvement cost $152.We bought a 6.5’ x 10’ shade cloth for $12 off Amazon and screwed it in at the top peak to be used like a roll down/up curtain (cutting a hole where the top vent is). We stapled a 6.5’ piece of furring strip to the bottom of the cloth, so it could be rolled up and rested on the lower roof edge ($15). We bought a $4 two pack of L shape brackets that we could place the rolled up shade onto at the roof’s edge like a rack. The furring strip in the bottom of the cloth serves as a weight to keep it from blowing around and makes it super easy to roll up. Total Improvement cost: $31Needs a solid foundation of pavers or cement. We used pavers. Improvement cost $240At some points I wondered if it would have been cheaper to have just built it.Ultimately was glad I chose to get the kit because we don’t want it to take more than a weekend to install from cradle to grave. It removed a lot of research, planning and parts hauling.After taxes, foundation and all improvements this lean-to greenhouse cost a little over $1000 to properly install and make functional.Active considerations: we may install a solar powered fan to move air. Potential improvement cost $50.Ultimately, I really do love it. I would recommend this to a person who is capable in the line of construction and who has good solution finding skills.ken tanguis
