Israeli Greenhouse
,November 30, 2011
By Theforkliftguy
from Hayden, Al
"This greenhouse is nice.It is not difficult to put together, though antiseize will aid in assembly. The frameworke is sturdy, the panels are a little thin, but they have held up well. Ours has been up for about six months now and we've had no problems. It comes with a foundation made from perforated sheet metal, but we made ours from treated timbers, lined the bottom with landscaping mesh, and filled it pea gravel. It is made in Israel, which supprised me. I don't know if I have ever owned anything made Israel before, but the quality is good."

NOT what you think it IS

"To anyone interested in this product....be carefull....the plastic connectors are fragile...DO NOT use a rubber mallet.. use silcone spray and a little extra arm or hand power........your heel of your palm is best....
looks are tricky....this product looks GREAT in the book.....not so in front of ya...one plastic part was cracked once the green house arrived...called the company. great on replacing but you'll be a bit uneasy waiting almost 2 weeks for the part.. it was my wifes BDay present...she's happy but if I could do it over again.......I'd build my own 6x8 or larger green first....not worth the money.. but again she's happy

"Have been looking at green houses online for some time, and have always been skeptical about quality.
Must say, I was pleasantly surprised with this product. It was easy to assemble and only took about 3 hrs. to assemble by myself. I would definitely recommend two people to make assembly go more smoothly. I mounted the green house on Rail Road ties for a sturdy base, I also added two extra braces going from back to front at a diagonal as where I live we get fairly high winds, very sturdy so far. I made two planting beds on both sides and one large one at the end with walk way in middle, this is working great!! The top vent and split doors are an great feature and help regulate tempatures. The only thing I wish this company offered is a dual panes and a 8’X8’ model, but for the price this green house will serve my needs for many years. This is a great buy and excellent product!!!"

""I purchased my greenhouse in the fall of 09. The only modification I did from the instructions was to mount it to a base frame of pressure treated 6"X6". I assembled it by myself so it took a bit longer than suggested, but I did it in a long day. This past week Feb. 8, 2010 we have had 2 very large snow storms (over 50"), one with winds in excess of 45 mph. the greenhouse is safe and sound. When I assembled it I was thinking who ever designed it was a genius the way it went together so easelly, now after it withstood these storms I know they were.""

Greenhouse for Me
,November 4, 2009
By Steffy
from West Chazy, New York
"I have wanted a greenhouse for many years and this year finally got one. I search the internet for one that would fit my needs completely. I love the fact the door opens in two parts. I can close the bottom part and leave the top open for some air to be let in while I am working in the greenhouse. It also has the open window in the roof for more air movement. I also bought the green roof tarp to shut out the sun if it gets too hot so that the plants will not burn during the upcoming summer months. I plan on putting red terracotta tiles on the floor to absorb the summer heat and with the drip panels off of each side, I can collect the rain water to recycle.
I would definitely recommend this greenhouse to my friends or anyone else."

"The greenhouse went together very easy. It's very stable side to side , but I added a brace from back to front for better support. It looks great in the back yard."
