When I first got it and put it together I was pretty happy – we used a mallet to make sure all pieces were securely inside the connectors – doing it by hand they FELT all the way in but when we used the mallet they always went in further. The mesh shelves are pretty flimsy and we definitely used extra zip ties to secure them. I also used some pieces of cardboard to reinforce them and they held my seedling trays fairly well. We set it up against the house on a concrete paver patio so there was no staking it – I had heavy garden pavers and just sat them on the bottom part of the frame inside and on the outside, sitting on top of the plastic flap.
At one point we were predicted to get heavy winds (we did) and I rolled out a piece of black landscaping cloth to go over it with a bit of a “flap” at the bottom mimicking the plastic cover flaps and then sat more pavers on the flap. It still moved with the wind but it stayed put and nothing fell off shelves inside. If you need a greenhouse that won’t blow away in a storm you should probably just build one. For what this is, it is as sturdy as it can be and a great price.
Update: early this spring I had emptied the greenhouse and had been meaning to take it down when a big wind storm snuck up on us. It was definitely picking up the empty, unsecured green house and starting to toss it around so my son and I ran out and took the cover off so it was just the frame and then we hurriedly pulled the frame apart as much as we could and just piled it so nothing would blow away. Admittedly, it got away from me to put it away properly, so it sat there – plastic cover and pile of metal poles and mesh shelves in the Arizona sun and heat the ENTIRE summer. It is January 2022 and we have just put it back together for the 2nd year. The paint is kinda coming off the frame on our hands a little like the sun and weather broke down the clear coat but nothing is bent, rusted (yes it is Arizona but we had pretty torrential monsoon season this year so, plenty of rain) or broken! We knocked all supports in with a mallet, zip tied the shelves on the frame, This time to reinforce the flimsy mesh shelves I had some large cooling racks from the dollar store and laid those on top and zip tied those in place as well- I HIGHLY recommend doing this and wish I had thought of it last year because it added lots of stability and strength to the shelves – just make sure they are large enough to sit over the bar of the main frame when placing them. The plastic cover totally shrunk – the bottom flaps that went on the ground now just barely reached the bottom of the frame so it shrunk shorter but still fits over the frame fine and I just used hose repair tape to pull the flap tight and secure it around the bottom support, I also used this tape to repair some small rips and holes that occurred from the plastic cover sitting in a pile in the yard all summer. I’m still using pavers to secure on the concrete patio. We will not be taking it apart this year, though we will be moving it to the other side of the house and securing it to the ground differently. I do not expect this to last forever, however, for the use I have gotten out of it and until we get the yard to a place that we can build a small permanent greenhouse, and for what I have put this thing through?! I’m still super happy with the money I spent on it – at this time the price is around $80 and I got it on sale for just under $70. Also, the zipper worked fine last year but this year one side doesn’t want to go past 3/4 of the way down anymore since sitting all summer. (Pics 1&2 when first set up 11/20, pic 3&4 cardboard to reinforce shelves and landscaping cloth over the top 12/20, pics 5,6 & 7 current set up with pavers, taped bottom edge and reinforced shelves 1/22)

Easy to assemble but not durable. Tie straps came off easy and one was not there from the beginning. Got to be careful in the wind.

But you can’t get cheap pieces of boxed home and garden goods even at Aldi’s for this price.
I only needed it to stand up straight but exceeded my expectations.
It’s machine made so I think it would be rare to have pieces of hardware at different lengths or diameters. At most, I expected to do some shaving to the plastic parts- maybe boring out holes. Not needed in my case either.
I put it together upside down so I could carefully push the poles all the way in. THIS MATTERS because if you don’t, then it will be uneven, flimsy, and feel like money wasted. Too much force and the poles could bend. So if it doesn’t work the first time, try switching around to another hole or another pole.
It rolls, stands straight, and zips/unzips.
Yes, the metal poles, plastic, and wire shelves are light duty but my intentions are using this for getting a head start with seeds. Small pots in surplus.
I can tell you that if you put a house plant in a terra cotta pot (if it will even fit) on the top shelf, it will be top heavy with a good chance of falling over.
The wire shelves are thinner than a livestock fence and not made to hold weight. Again, I’m thinking seedling trays, pots, and cups even.
I currently keep it inside before moving it to the back porch come early spring. I can’t wait to get this ugly thing out of the house.
If placed in an area unprotected from wind, bet your 25 dollars that this will blow over. During a wind storm, find this possibly even in your neighbors yard.
For 25 bucks, I even get brakes on two of the plastic wheels!!

Me gusto que es práctico y fácil de armar el material conforme a calidad precio se me hace bien el espacio es muy bueno para poner varias plantas lo único es el plástico que trae es muy delgado no creo que aguante mucho más porque la pondré al exterior pero le puse un plástico blanco lechoso de invernadero y quedo muy bien ya reforzandola queda muy bien

I put it together late Monday afternoon and by Friday morning it was covered in holes, many of the ties were ripped off. It is completely unsalvageable.. because of the cheaper cost of this, I didn’t expect it to last me for years and years, but I did have hopes that it would get me through the spring/summer not just 3 days. Honestly it probably had holes in it before Friday, but I worked Tuesday through Thursday 13+ hour shifts at the hospital so I did not go out and check on it when I got home late each night. I’m very disappointed, I didn’t even get to put any starters in it yet.. Also, multiple PVC pipes were disconnected with the slight movement from the wind. The stakes and string supplied were not very sturdy so we even made heavier stakes and used a lightweight rope instead of the little strings trying to tether it and protect it from the wind.
It didn’t encounter any extreme weather, just some mild wind in my backyard. We have a lot of trees, a privacy fence, and on the backside of it was my horse trailer to help protect it from any additional wind. Not sure what else I could have done to protect it besides for leaving it in my garage which would defeat the whole purpose. I would like a refund, but to be honest, I’m not sure the refund is worth my time taking apart the shelving and all of the zip ties and trying to ship it back. Plus I already got rid of the box so I don’t know what to do now.
I have even more photos because there were so many holes but didn’t include all of them here, I figured 14 photos would get the point across.
Pros: I liked that it was very easy to put together, I did it by myself besides putting the cover on because I had my husband help so I didn’t snag or rip it by doing it alone. Directions were pretty straightforward. This would be a fine little greenhouse if you were going to leave it inside your house or garage, but definitely not sturdy enough for anywhere that has even the slightest breeze.

This greenhouse is awesome for what I paid for it. It keeps heat in and does what I need it to do. It comes with small castor wheels to go under the legs, but the constantly fell out and the whole thing would nearly topple over – I removed them and it sits fine without them, but is more difficult to move.
One thing I would mention is that this exact greenhouse is sold at RONA in Canada for a great deal cheaper. I believe I paid $80 on Amazon for this, but it’s available for $50 at RONA. Save yourself $30 and buy it there instead. I would not have bought on Amazon if I knew it was that much cheaper.

It looks s exactly as advertised, and I love it
