I did a lot of research into different options for our new greenhouse and this one has all the basics I needed to get started. It also has the 10mm triple wall polycarbonate that most others do not have. The price was fair and the parts are of good quality and fitment once put together. The instructions are mostly pictures, but not hard to figure out. My 14 year old son and I constructed in a little over two days including setting the foundation. I made my foundation out of cement pavers and put pressure treated 6x6's on top of those. I put pressure treated 2x6's across the floor after putting in the landscape fabric and then screwed down Trex deck boards over top of all the pressure treated lumber. (The instructions will tell you not to install the greenhouse directly on top of pressure treated lumber.) Also, you will need to get some lag screws to anchor the greenhouse to your foundation as it only comes with masonry anchors for a cement footer. I opted for the ground anchors which attach to the foundation. These worked quite well too. They took a little bit of pounding into the ground with my 8 lb sledge, but my soil is a little rocky down deeper.

All in all I recommend this greenhouse to anyone. You will also need to put shelves of some sort in. I made mine from 2x4's and those wire shelves you get a the big box stores from Closet Maid. I made four 5' shelves 24" wide with two and 1/2 tiers. (One lower shelf, one waist high shelf, and one half shelf about 5' up from the floor.) I did have to remove the wall to roof brace to put the shelves in, but they fit right back in between the wires of the shelves.

Anyway, my wife and I love it and have gotten many compliments on it so far. I can't wait to really get growing. The started kit you get with it is also a plus. I am usually quite critical of products I buy, and this one has not disappointed us so far. If you are looking to finally get a greenhouse, this is a great starter for your backyard farming or flowers!
