Aluminum Greenhouse Kit for Outdoors/Backyard,8 x 6-Ft Polycarbonate Walk-in Greenhouse,Garden Greenhouses for Plant Grow Winter

First, I expected better than corrugated plastic for the panels. Second, the slots for the panels to go in were crimped in some spaces. I had to use a flathead to pry them open to put the panels in. 3rd, panels keep flying out after assembly. 4th, the frame bent easily while assembling. 5th, the vents fly off in the wind. I don't even know if it will survive the summer with these winds. The description said it would be ok, the wind shakes the bolts lose no matter how tight we get them. Even using the anchor pieces it shifts on the frame base. There weren't enough of the green panel holders for all the side panels and front/back panels. The bolts come mixed up, so you don't really know which ones to use until you're half way in and realize you need the square heads for the side panel slides... Definately not a one, or even a two person job. "Easy setup" is a lie. We'll see if it lasts the spring/summer and even has a chance to make it to winter to see if it insulates well enough to keep plants from freezing, as it advertizes that you can use it "year round". Like what area would that count for?

I personally didn’t have an issue assembling the greenhouse by myself. The directions are easy to follow, the kit went together well. It just took time because it was just me. Make sure to add the base and stake it down or it will blow away, it only really weighs ~100 lbs. I think it’s a good price for what you get.

The only reason I’m giving this product a 4/5 is because it looks good once it’s finished and is pretty sturdy when done completely. My wife and I built this in a day and a half and we aren’t very good hands-on type people. The instructions are really hard to read.. I suggest that the seller do an instructional video to show how to build properly. You can tell the instructions were interpreted by a machine. Very hard to understand. If it wasn’t for how well it looks done, I would vote 2 or 3 stars. Like I said, this green house isn’t fun to build but you will be happy with the finished product. The price is pretty consistent with most greenhouses this size, maybe even cheaper. 4/5 for this product. Thanks to the seller.

I am happy with this purchase. It is a solid, well built, little green house. However, I have to say the assembly was a little difficult, and I recommend 2 people. Also, there were parts that were mislabeled both in the instruction manual and physically. I assembled this with a mechanically inclined person, so it was easy to overcome. The most difficult part is the installation of the polycarbonate. This is where you definitely need 2 people. One to push and one to pull.

If you can figure out how to assemble the front and rear gables, and how the vent goes on (the instructions tell you how to put it together and then you're just supposed to know how it fits on the structure I guess), the rest is a breeze. There are youtube videos of similar builds showing the best sequence of steps, so check those out! I got this so I can build a small aquaponic system in my backyard and so far it's going really well, can't wait until spring.

The assembly on this greenhouse took a life of it's own. There is no supporting on line video to assist with the written instructions. You will need two people to assemble this! Also, the manufacturer shows no grace on the number of screws, bolts, and nuts needed for assembly. I tried to order extra bolts, but they didn't work on this manufacturers product. Also, there is no contact information for customer service. So be patient and talk things through with your assembly partner to make sure your in agreement about your steps.Once the greenhouse is assembled, it is a great structure at a great price.

After having finally completed the greenhouse I can finally look back and laugh. I read the reviews and thought “surely it isn’t that hard to assemble!” Boy was I a sweet unsuspecting optimist. Find a building partner that you can really laugh with and enjoy the absolute hilarity that is trying to assemble this structure. I’ve built so many things by hand but this was by far the most frustrating, difficult, time consuming project I have ever taken on. Just being able to finally complete it was enough satisfaction. Now that I never have to build this thing again, I can finally look forward to many years and growing lots of beautiful plants within its walls.

It definitely took a skilled person to help me. I actually had my ex-husband who is a contractor come over and it took us a full day. Once we understood how it worked it moved a lot quicker putting it together. It is well worth it once done. It is very sturdy and has more room than I thought. It actually blocks the wind on my patio and allows my plants to be protected from the sun even after the winter is done.
