Outsunny 12' x 10' x 7' Outdoor Walk-in Greenhouse, Tunnel Green House with Roll-up Windows, Zippered Door, PE Cover, Heavy Duty Steel Frame, Green

Let's face it, you get what you pay for. In this case we're paying about $130 for a 10x12ft greenhouse. That should tell you what you need to know. If you want permanents, look elsewhere; however, if you want a great space and a low price, this is for you. My husband built a simple frame from 4x4s and attached the frame to it with some mounting brackets; it lasts two years. In fact, we've kept the frame from the original we bought years ago and simply order another every two years for the cover (you can't buy the cover separately). For $130 it is worth it. I use it spring-fall for gardening and my husband uses it in the winter for extra storage for patio furniture. The plastic does degrade, where we live, it gets to be 110 degrees in the summer, easy. It also gets down to the low 30s in the winter - there is only so-much you can expect from plastic. Still worth it.

I anchored the corners with tea posts that you can see in the pics that I took. Right now I’m using it for storage while I have a garage built and it’s done quite well through several storms. Perfectly worth the price and I’m hoping to use it as it was meant for greenhouse next year.

It turned out nice but it was horrible to put together. It’s extremely wimpy. The pipes are very small and I expected them to be more sturdy and a little bigger. It was very difficult to assemble because the instructions were just drawings and they were very tiny on the page. I had to take pictures of the drawings with my cell phone and blow them up to see how to put it together. As you can see in my photos I tried to write down what I thought the instructions were. It was extremely difficult.My husband and I put it together ourselves and we seriously could’ve used at least one or two more people. You put the top together first and then you add the bottom. In order to do this we had to use the palm tree outback and also a boat pole to hold it up. It was stressful. The entire time we were putting the bottom poles onto it, this contraption tried to fall over like a loaf of sliced bread out of the wrapper. It took us three hours to put the top together one afternoon and then we had to wait another five days to put the rest of it together because my husband had to go to work out of town. So it sat in my backyard leaning against the house with bags of dirt holding it up for five days until we could finish it. Finishing it took another three hours.Then we moved it onto the plastic in the location we wanted our garden to be. As you can see, I did not put the plastic on it because it’s too hot here in Florida right now in April/May. We may put it on in the winter time because that’s the best time to plant in Florida but I may need it in case we have an unusual frost. But for spring and summer, I bought 3’ plastic chicken fence at Home Depot and wrapped it around the sides and the back. Because the backside has no poles, it’s wide open, I added some that I had in the shed so that I could hold up the chicken fencing around the backside. I also bought wrought iron fencing that I’m using for gates for the front entry. I attached everything with zip ties and the fencing opens and closes very nicely as a gate.Because it’s so wimpy and very lightweight, we put stakes in the ground on each corner and zip tied tightly to the stakes because we are in a hurricane zone and we have heavy winds and rain all summer long. I ordered shade cloth for the top because in the summertime the sun is very intense and that way I’ll still be able to have some things growing in the garden that hopefully won’t get fried from the scorching sun.I really like how it looks now that is finished and sturdily staked into the ground. But I would never order it again! When it showed up I was highly disappointed because I had ordered a different size from the same company and it is beautiful and sturdy and was easy to put together. Of course it cost a little more, lesson learned, you get what you pay for. My husband wanted to return this one immediately. But I was determined to make it work, and besides, I had spent a lot of time shopping online for that darn thing and I didn’t want to go through the shopping process again. I do NOT recommend this. Unless you like a real challenge. It’s so wimpy that I’m not sure what would happen if we put that piece of plastic over it, it would probably sail off into the sky if it wasn’t staked to the ground securely.

Setup took about 2 hours - after seeing how strong wind blew this around, it would have been 5 stars if clips had been included to keep the sides and base under control. I made my own from ¾" PEX tubing and now the canopy is stable even in really strong gusts.

This is my 2nd time purchasing this greenhouse. Love the size and ease of assembly and the covers hold up well over many seasons. My 1st lasted 5 spring seasons. However, it is a big sail in the wind and will blow away if you don't take a few extra precautions. First, I anchor my frame to the ground using metal rebar stakes that are sunk into the ground 12 inches. The stakes that come with it are useless. Secondly, I reinforced the frame. It tends to bend by the arches near the door if the wind catches it. I've added in horizontal 1/2"PVC rails giving more support into the arched part of the frame. These are just lengths of PVC pipe with two T ends cut to fit the distance between each vertical section of frame, 3 for each side. The greenhouse frame can be slipped right through the T on each end, and I put a zip tie on the frame to keep these in the right position. I also added in PVC framing beefing up each end of the greenhouse, most especially by the door. On sunny days where you really need the added ventilation of the door being rolled up, that extra framing has made all the difference. I also took old socks and wrapped them over each spot on the frame where they plastic plugs go. Those plugs often fall out, and the socks keep the frame from poking through the cover when they do.
