Good for the priceMarch 7, 2008 D. Watson(England) Easily assembled (about an hour) and product looks exactly like i expected from the picture - very portable (should you need it to be - and i do) and the shelves seem sturdy enough to take quite a bit of weight so no problems there.
I can't say much about the zipper as i have not had it long but will take care with it now that others say it is easy to bust. The item is very portable and is now securely fastened to my fence so it doesnt blow away.
Very happy with the product for the money spent - 5 stars
does what it says on the tinMarch 1, 2006 A. J. Gauld(Scotland) 43 out of 43 found this review helpful
The description is accurate and the greenhouse does what it needs to. It is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle to put together and the push fit junctions will split if you push the tubing in too far. (Hence 4 stars) The plastic is quite thick - much thicker than Gardsmans other smaller models and has green mesh effect to diffuse the sunlight.
Once assembled its fairly rigid. You can peg it to the ground or use guy ropes to tie it down. I screwed 4 eyelets into my patio wall and tied it onto those and its withstood quite strong winds.
There is just enough room for two adults inside pricking out seedlings. Its never going to replace a real glass greenhouse but its significantly more convenient than a simple cold frame.
Since I wrote the above I've gone through a hot summer. There is no way to ventilate except opening the door, without the door open temperatures go up above 50C very quickly. So you need to be diligent in opening the door. Or site it in a place where the sun doesn't get to it directly. Still a great buy though.
But now one of the zips has broken...so where do I get a new cover?
Zipper & replacement coverJune 4, 2008 A. Lindeholm(Oxford, UK) That is all that is missing from this product. I've hunted high and low for a replacement cover as one zipper is broken + it now has lots of holes. Does anyone know whether there is one available? If not, I'm going to have to get a new greenhouse and will (obviously not!) get a Gardman this time...
