I have had one of these on my deck. I love it. I just have another tip, if you can’t find a big log to weight things down, try using gallon milk containers,. Makes watering easier to.

I got something similar to this at a Job Lot for $75. Worth every penny. We keep a bucket of water in it for humidity, and I put a thermometer in it. Even on days here in New England where it’s about 55 degrees, the inside of the greenhouse can be around 75 degrees. Our seedlings are loving it.

I bought one a couple years ago and my tip would be to glue all the pieces together with heavy duty glue . The cover did not last very long for me because the California sun just weakened the plastic cover. So I would recommend using thick poly plastic that was UV treated just to cover the top part. I found a big ole roll for like $10 at Lowe’s. I made a cheap bottom frame with 2X4’s and zip tied it down to wood frame to keep it from getting blown away. This is going on my third growing season with this green house. I think it’s paid for itself now with all the 🌱 I used this greenhouse for. It has saved me 💰 by not having to buy seedlings.

☑️ beginner gardener ☑️ not a lot of space ☑️ on a budget That’s me! 😃 Thank you for this review!

Got mine from Aldi's for only $39.00 and came with tent type of stakes to anchor the green outer plastic shell down. We did weigh down the inside with bags of soil, fertilizer and the like. We also took it down after the season , so as to be able to use it for many more years. We've used ours for two seasons already and it still looks like brand new. We were very happy with our purchase.

I have had mine for over 5 years and it is still functioning as the day I got it.

I just made a green house . I never would of thought gardening was so fun .

I purchased this product. After a winter and spring in the Texas sun, the plastic connectors all cracked. The zipper tore. It was a great starter greenhouse and I learned alot. I am going to use the frame as a guide and duplicate it and use PVC piping instead.

You should stack sandbags around the greenhouse it keeps in the warm and it stops the greenhouse from falling over

After using this greenhouse for several years, this year I got a 7' x 12' hoop house on ebay for $100. It out performs any greenhouse I have ever had. It had the clear cover that you are talking about, but it has a much thicker weave in it and the clear poly is much thicker too. With your backyard being the size it is, you could easily put one of these on your property and grow an entire garden in it year round. This is better than my super heavy duty corrugated fiberglass greenhouse or any of the small greenhouses I've ever had. I only had one heater in it all winter and no landscape fabric under it, only grass. That helped the hoop house to generate more heat and massive humidity. I had orchids in there and it worked perfectly. All of my tropical plants loved it this winter. Just thought I would pass this on.

I’ve had my mini greenhouse for a year now. I keep it outside all year and during the summer under shade. It helps to keep my seedlings grow faster and protect my plants from the wind. Also I keep all my garden supplies in there which helps to keep dust away from all the products i have. I think it’s worth the $55. Let lone I spend $55 on 1 meal for 2! So it’s very worth it.

I got the same greenhouse. The next year my husband removed the plastic cover and replaced it will plastic sheeting, like you use on the roof of a deck. The wavy kind. He also put in a temperature controlled lift section of roof to let excess heat out. I love it!

I love green houses. I bought my first 5 or 6 years ago. It is finally done. Don't underestimate wind damage. I had a couple hundred pounds holding mine down. One rouge wind blew it up over the house. And it was against the house for wind protection with tie downs. Needless to say my tomato plant labels were a little off that year.

I has the exact greenhouse. I recommend getting a bag of sheet metal screws and drill and screw all the tubing pieces to the connectors. That’ll make it super sturdy

Every November (we live in Texas, not far from Dallas), I pull one just like this out, and my husband and I assemble it in a protected corner beneath a south-facing covered patio. We cross-tie the frame inside, tie on the cover, then place flat cement pavers inside, atop the tubes of the frame, to weight it down. (Since we can set plants atop them, they're the best option.) We throw a raggedy old thick comforter over the top, secured with heavy clips, to protect it in the ice/snow part of the year. My patio plants live out the winter inside, with lights inside, enough to keep them warm enough and alive over the winter. (It's just turned March, and I have phalaenopsis orchids flowering inside!) Of course, I don't water too much over the winter, but I'll often turn off the lights, mist the inside really well, turn 'em back on, then close it up again. Up under the porch, the sun doesn't destroy the plastic and the wind can't tear it to pieces. With this setup, all of the plants that were against the house wall survived the 2021 deep-south freeze that went on and on, even when we had no power to keep the lights inside on and the temperature up. In Spring, we remove the plants, stack the cement pavers behind the shed, undo the inside cross-ties, disassemble and set everything out to dry. Once everything is good and dry, we put all of the plastic connectors into a labeled box, fold the cover and roll the metal tubes up inside it, bungee cords all around it, and in the shed it all goes. The assembly instructions are kept in a plastic sleeve, in a file-cabinet folder that contains all of our small appliance manuals. My previous small green house lasted for several years, and the one I have now is getting older, and some of the metal parts are rusting out. I'll continue buying them, since our set-up allows them to last and work well for us.

Never gardened in my life. That is definitely a green colored house. Idk why this was recommended to me. That being said, this was an awesome video. Glad I watched it

I bought my second one last year. I've left mine up year round. Through hot heat and snow it was still fine. My second was bigger than my first. I layed pallets and plie wood down an painted it. Then secured the green house frame to the wood. No fly aways

Recently bought one of these, well the smaller versions that's just a stack of shelves to keep my bonsai in for winter, great purchase.

My daughter got one for me on my birthday in March. I love it! So far it’s working well. Thanks for the tips on securing the shelves and landscape fabric.

I've had one for 5 years. I replaced the cover twice. To extend the life of the cover I recommend protecting it from the hot summer sun. In my case, I threw a king sized bed sheet over the top during the summer. Seems to work. I'm going to try some UV treated poly from Greenhouse superstore when this cover wears out. I also used small paver bricks to keep the frame up off the ground. And cinder blocks to weigh it down. I also tied it down with ropes and tent pegs. It's gone through some pretty strong winds and it's still in my yard.

I don't garden. I don't live in a house, and I have no interest in green houses. Somehow I have ended up on a side of KZfaq I didn't know existed. Your video has entertained me keep up the good work. here's a like!

Those are good indoors to grow... my outdoor one looks good too... hanging 80' up in my neighbors elm. As soon as I can find my grapple hook I will pull it down.

I have a small 4’x6’ popup greenhouse that I use for the stray cats. I live in center city Philadelphia, there are 4 cats about 8-10yrs old I took over care for. I put one of theee up for the cats with heated kitty condos, space heater, security camera, raised outdoor tiles, and lighting for the winter. We didn’t get a ton of snow, a lot of ice and a couple heavy snowfalls. In and out every day 3x a day to feed them and it’s so sturdy it is good as new and it’s been up since September 2023. No leaks either. It’s well worth the $79 and the frame collapses in 10a few min to move it out of the way (minus staples) the popup frame is a lot more sturdy than that frame. I started elephant ears in there too, it’s heated so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Hope that helps it’s a great buy.

I have 2 of these. I mounted grow lights and warming mats after I upgraded the shelves with boards. They hold most of my trays of seedlings. It works for what I need.

I'm using one indoors, it's been amazing for retaining humidity for my bog plants and overwintering citruses.

I have one of these. After using it for a couple seasons I noticed a few issues. The main one is the fact of where I live. I live in a temperate climate and even in the winter the greenhouse is too hot and humid to support plant growth. If it had better ventilation I would consider it pretty good.

Hi I just purchased one, just delivered looking forward to having it fixed up. My grandson is 4 yrs 8 mnths he likes to get involved when I'm gardening so now he n his mumma have their very own green house to start planting veg fruit n flowers he's so excited looking forward to the seeds sprouting up. He makes me smile when he's pushing his toy lawnmower on the grass, I say you finished yet Alfie he'll say Nanny I've got so much work to do its gonna take ages.love him. Thanks for the ideas.

This is nicer than I thought. If anybody has a Big Lots near by, they have these at Big Lots for a pretty good price

I have had one of these on my deck. I love it. I just have another tip, if you can’t find a big log to weight things down, try using gallon milk containers,. Makes watering easier too.

This exact greenhouse cost $69 inclusive delivery in Oz. I had it for 2 months now. Great option.

I have the same one and it is set up in my basement. I have grow (shop) lights hanging above 3 of the shelves and so I used the greenhouse to hold the seedlings I started. Since my basement is a little cooler in the winter, the it helps to keep the plants warm. It worked very well for me.

How is this thing doing to this day?

I have a smaller (2'x3') version of this which I take apart and store every fall. I've grown tomatoes in mine (zone 3-4) and now that I have a "real" greenhouse I use it to harden off nursery plants and sprout seedlings. I had to buy a new green cover after about 5 years. Again it was not left outside during the winter, so I got more "life" in the plastic cover. I use a chicken lamp on a temperature switch to keep my plants warm at night, open it during the day.

My husband got me one this size with some shelves in it but it’s clear as a gift when my friend passed away! It was the best gift I ever received, because it started my gardening journey! I still use it to start my seeds, and I even have my little Tiller in there And store my gardening things ❤️

I so happy I found your channel ! Please keep uploading ! I live in a big city with a concrete backyard and I’m considering this greenhouse. As a beginner I’m learning so much from your videos. We’re in a pandemic and I don’t have a grocery store with fresh produce walking distance so I’m super invested in trying to learn how to grow my own food. So far just have like green onion and carrot tops in water haha 😂. Anyways keep up the good work !! Appreciate it !

Excellent green house. I used some bricks to secure it. If you roll up the front part, use a small piece of wood. That makes it easier. To secure the shelves I used some simple wire. All in all a great buy.

I like mine , same one , and mine was worth the $35 I paid for mine :-) Got "mine" at Aldi !

I've had one of these since February. So far, so good. I started lots of seeds, moved the greenhouse when the tree grew leaves and shaded it out too much and it has survived several storms with 40-60 mile an hour winds. I do have to remember to roll up the door for the day or it easily gets to 120. I did not use the useless tiny stakes that it came with. I had some that were from a pop-up gazebo that were significantly stronger and my neighbor who is a blacksmith said that if that didn't work he'd make some for me. The zipper has held up and no holes in the plastic so far. I'm trying to decide if I should put it on top of one of my raised beds to overwinter some plants. It may not survive actual snow.

I just discovered my green thumb last year, and amazingly everything survived! I relocated at the begining of this year from FL to VA, and discovered that my "born with a green thumb son" had one of these with amazing results. The plants I began have trippled in size!

I once did two pieces of cattle fencing they're about $15 it's basically thick gauge wire each squares about 8in by 8in and it's about 16 ft long 4 ft wide each piece of fencing and then I took some railroad ties that were left over made a square frame and then just put the cattle fencing and it made a rainbow shape by itself then my father came with some leftover wood and he framed out a door and a back window for an air conditioner then we took plastic and wrapped it in plastic and put a carbon filter 6 in and ran fans and ran extension cords it was about 5lbs death weed

I've have had one of these . It lasted me 1, half year . The weather is different than it used to be . In here in Ireland we are getting hurricane almost every month.

Thank you for doing this review. I always wondered if these hings were 'disposable' and useless due to the low price point.Now I know it's not bad if you have the right expectations, vision for use and structure reinforcements.

I now have 5 of them. Love them. Now I know how to secure them. I needed this video for securing. Thank you so much for this video. It has helped me and my succulents a lot.

I got the same one last year! It's still up. I put a ridiculously heavy metal shelf in it and connected all the corners of the greenhouse to the shelf with rope. Also, I put it on our back deck against the house so it gets some wind shield there too.

Good video and practical info. Thumbs up! I have one and if you done go in often, it's good but if you go in more than once a day, the zipper gets old fast. Second, the plastic connecting the zipper tears so be careful. I grow seeds and go in often so little hassle. Can't beat price. Rate 7 out of 10.

i built my own green house from 2x4s cut in half.covered it with the cheapo clear plastic (was like a dollar a roll) its been recovered a few times but its lasted almost 10 years. and we get heavy nor easter snow storms here in the north east. it doubles as a over flow for our shed in winter. it even took off and over the fence to the next door yard ones or twice. i have been looking at these same ones on amazon this year. glad you did a review video. new sub and liked thanks. happy growing

Thank you for your lengthy review and I hope this fits on my patio. Happy gardening everyone.🌾🎋🌻

I got the 61" L x 55" W x 78" H one, and I love it. It fits perfectly on my deck, it's sturdy and the plastic held up well under the heavy snowfalls we had this winter. It was about a hunderd bucks, with free shipping.

I have a similar one that cost 40 euros in Lidl, only difference is mine has a window/vent on the back wall. really useful to get airflow. Regarding the stability problem, I just put 10 " paving slabs around the base on the inside. That means you still have the bottom "shelf" clear for more plants etc. It is amazing how much you can get in it, did all my seedlings and is now growing 8 large tomato plants and 2 cucumbers happily. This is my 3rd season using it and no problems apart from getting too hot at times as you do with all greenhouses, This is easily dealt with by draping an old sheet over the top. All in all a great buy .

Bought one of these 15 years ago. It lasted a couple of weeks during the summer before blowing apart. I had weighed it down, but the joints just broke apart. It happened a few times so I binned it.

I bought one and love it. Mainly I got it for my Tower Garden to give my plans a head start growing. I fits well in the green house and is working fine. Well worth the $60.00.

I have a smaller bookshelf size in my house, I use it all the time and I think I paid that prize several years ago. So I think that is a great buy.

I have the same greenhouse and I am very happy with it , something that is important also is the location. It definitely gets plenty of light and heat. It’s great and inexpensive. Awesome video!

I have one and absolutely love it. I'm in England and it cost me £39.99 from homebase (only place I could get one during lock down) if anyone in the UK is looking for one. X

I used a pup tent last year..it worked great...I grew oodles of stuff...it kept the direct sun at bay...my plants sprouted great then I moved them outside...I kept it up all summer..it eventually wore out

It's a nice starter entry and you'll learn alot! Which is something that will go along way.

I’m a newbie veggie grower this year and was thinking of getting this same one on amazon! So thanks fire for the info

Thank you for this video. You were honest and did a great job on showing how to use this product. For the price, and I'm on a budget, I think this greenhouse will be fine for me. I'm going to buy one. Thx!

I love these. I have them is many different sizes. They’re very useful for a variety of purposes for small plot gardeners. They look much more tidy than throwing sheet plastic over everything.

I recently purchased my green house too and it's exactly the same as this green house I also had no problem assembling it It works good so far for me too And I love it so much.

I just bought one and put it on my back deck. I have marigolds starting in it . We like them for fall color and they are cheaper than mums, especially if you grow them from seed. If it works well for me I may buy a larger one next year or this fall for next year.

I had 2 of them last winter for all my bonsai trees and I added a small heater with a timer

Totally worth the money! Have to secure it to the ground. It is very windy where I live and I had to tie it to the house! I am a pandemic gardener going on my 4th summer. Went a little nuts with the seeds so I ended up selling enough seedlings/transplant to pay for all my soil and fertilizer! I easily made $1000 out of the greenhouse! My parents didnt tie theirs fiwn and it flew away. One my dad collected all the pieces he gave them to me and J replaced all the cracked connectors and to replace rusted out poles. Plus added 18inches of height and 4-6 more shelves.

I'm planning to give this to my son on his 6th birthday. Thank you for the information. I've learned a lot.

I used gorilla glue to put in brackets when i put it together - helps with stability

The clear plastic portable greenhouses do rip easy at the seams, also the plastic hardens(this is bad, you want it to be suple). It might have survived 2 years, but would need to take the cover off in the winter and spring because we have hard wind. Still it extended the season quite wel and was very happy with the tomatoes and cucumbers.

I’m on my 3rd season with mine. It’s perfect for my small backyard garden. Mine is on my deck. I put insulation on the floor and cover it with boards, weigh it all down with a small trash bin filled with water, with an aquarium heater submerged in the trash bin. The biggest problem is that if you get a warm day, it will burn up your plants. Ask me how I know? I’m in North Florida, and we can get days in the 50s or 60s in January. You have to really watch the weather and turn off any heating pads or heaters and open it up if you get a warm day. Even without the heaters, the solar radiation will bring temps into the 90s if you don’t open it up on warm winter days.

I’ve had this one since last year in the spring time. It’s good for a starter, I’m going to make one out of windows. I got mine from tractor supply.

Tfs this! I saw this on Amazon, here in Canada it is $89-$99. I am now convinced it may be a good open option for my needs. Also, your tips were helpful.

Just bought one from walmart for $27 hell yeah I’m so excited. I plan to put down some pavers on the inside and reinforce the whole thing. Good tip with the zipties

I have one of these tightly tethered to my deck and it's been holding up all right even in the crazy winds we get.

I’ve had those in the past, both this size: small and large as well as a lean to variety. The only downside is that it is very susceptible to wind. The frame piping isn’t very sturdy, regardless of anchoring the base, if the wind gets behind it, it’ll will definitely bend in no time. I did have mine for 2 years before the framing became in fixable. The covering plastic is very durable. Will be reordering again for this year.

i used this i have it indoors actually i know that's odd. but it worked perfectly. just hard to get in when plants start maturing. and it was a little task trying to get the power cords in there for the lights i used. but it works good

This is the same one i bought this year to keep in my sun room to start veggies and flowers. i really like it and don't have to worry about it blowing away in there. Mine was missing some of the connection parts and i had a weird amount of the pipes left over even if i had the missing joint parts. but it had enough of the right parts it went together fine. it stays around 67-79 degrees in there according to my little thermomotor and humidity gage i zip tied to one of the pipes. its worked great so far, i was able to hang five 2ft grow lights from the top to go around the top shelfs and so far and its holding up great.

I just put one of these up, and I'm pretty happy with it. Biggest problem is that it gets over 100 degrees in the afternoon (on a 70 degree day) but then even with 30 gallons of water in there to act as heat storage, it just doesnt hold heat at all once the sun goes down.

Someone in China took the green house name way too literally.

I've had a few of these. My advice is put it somewhere with afternoon shade, and take it down at the end of each season. Also, zip tie the wire "shelves" to the frame...one shift too many can send a whole shelf toppling if they aren't secure. Put bricks or very heavy plants on the bottom most shelves, and if it will be moderately windy, don't leave the door open. If there will be high winds, consider pulling the plants out and setting it down on the ground sideways to prevent blow-over and damage to the plants and frame. Whenever one starts breaking down, I buy a new one at the end of the season for the next year - that way I can catch them with a clearance price of $20 or less for the next year.

I made tomato circle vine cages coVerings of chicken wire to keep squirrels from digging up plants, root vegetables, etc. the green tarp is nice.

I bought this tent last summer. Didn’t make it through the winter here in New Hampshire. I weighed it down so well much that instead of blowing over the the plastic connectors snapped. Even one of the pole broke. Not a bad product. Easy to assemble. Best time I will have to secure the top section to a fence as well as weighing it down. An air vent besides the door would be helpful also

I did the same but exposed the soil around the under the shelving. A grow bag or submerged pot can then be put on the ground allowing with some holes the roots to tap into the ground. Less watering needed.

That’s not bad. I got s smaller one at big lots. The cover lasted 2yrs. I still have the shelves and still use

I just set one up on my backyard parking pad. I used 1/2" conduit brackets & large spacing washers to screw the frame to the wood fence, through the plastic cover. I also put four 12"x24" pavers on the lowest (~ ground level) shelves to keep the thing from whipping around at the end that wasn't screwed into the fence. I might put sand bags on the plastic to either side of the zippered door, until I have heavy potted tomatoes ready to help weigh the cover itself down. I put a govee wifi/bluetooth heater on one paver in there with a sync'd hygrometer/thermometer on the highest shelf (as heat rises). I can & have set them to automatically keep the greenhouse above 50°F for now. I'll still have to keep an eye out for high temps, & be ready with shade cloth. Was toying with the idea of using 303 protectant on all plastic fittings, & adding an extra uv-protective clear tarp over the whole thing. I don't expect it to last more than 2 years under these circumstances, but in my specific circumstances, building for true longevity is ... less profitable.

I’ve got one similar to this one and I love mine. I have LED lights to grow from seeds. Mine was a little more from Lowe’s but it’s worth it to me

I made my own completely free. I used scrap wood from family and friends, plywood floor, and clear thick plastic and screws to hold it all. Its very sturdy the rain runs off well and I screwed 6 inch wheels to the bottom so I can move it easily if I wanted and the wood makes it heavy so it doesn't blow away. I didn't spend one penny on it. That looks like a good deal on that one tho. I prob would've bought it if I didn't already make mine.

I got one of these. Put in the basement with a couple grow lights hanging from the center support. Good for starting things prior to it warming up enough to plant them. More to hold humidity in for the plants in the basement when the furnace is on.

Got a small 4 tier greenhouse. I take it down every year. It lasted me 3 or 4 years before I turned it into a germination chamber

I secured them with heavy tiles at the base.

Nice review. And yes, the shelves for all of that stuff. Flimsy is the correct word. And of course, something so light needs to be anchored. Why do people complain about the obvious? Nice way for you to explain it. :) Agreed. The pure clear is not, well, does not last long I would say. Good review mate. 👍👍

I bought a small shelf unit off a discount isle for $15 , it lasted 3 years so far but the plastic is deteriorating and its flemsey,only strong enough for seed starter trays. I need a bigger one next. This year I’m using a 5X10 cold frame made out of 2x6’s and 8ft cattle panels. I have 3 heat lamps from tractor supply in it and it’s covered with heavy polyethylene. I have to tilt it up from the side and it’s a little bit heavy. I’m planning a 8x12 green house using cattle panels and green house plastic next.

I bought 2 of them for my wife and she loves them I actually made it double the size rather then two separate green houses.

40-50 mile an hour wind is just a summer breeze in blackpool lol

I got one that was 5’x4’x 6’ tall.. had our first windstorm last night, winds 40 miles an hour and it stayed standing.. best 80$ I ever spent

I have one in my garden, put concrete blocks on each side to keep it from taking off. It has served us well, we are on the 2 year.

I have one, I loved it, but my only complaint is the zipper on the right side came off and I haven't been able to find it :( so now could be a big difference in the warmth of the greenhouse for the coming winter this year

I’ve had one like this only octagon shape for about 4 years. I live in south MS where it is hot ALL the time. The weather has caused some wear and tear. The strings that hold the door open has dry rotted and it has been torn in some areas. My husband has patched it with duct tape. It still serves it purpose. It has survived some tropical storms and hurricanes. The top blew off and one string kept it from flying away during hurricane Zeta in October. Don’t know how much was paid for this because it was a Mother’s Day gift. I would definitely invest in another if this one was no longer usable.

I love mine. Own 3 which I use for feral cat feeding station, storage and (wait for it) a green house!

We're northern Vermont zone 4b. I bought an 8 x 10 white one off craigslist last fall, and I love it! No problems with 50 mph winds although we are a bit protected by trees. It gets super hot in the sunshine! Bought a thermometer for it so i know when to open it up. Best thing on ours is that it has 4 roll-up windows and a zip-up door on either end, maybe that's why it hasn't flown away. The humidity in there on an 80 degree day when it's closed is insane! Kept the floor just grass, so probably will do landscaping fabric next year. I don't want to take it down this winter because i want to start seeds come March, and I don't want to put it back up in the cold! We'll see!

I waited till the end of the season for $16.99

that's cute until the wind blows it into the next town

I've had this same greenhouse for many years. The covers don't last long and replacements are pricey. I use roll plastic and recover as needed. The frame alone is worth the money. Thanks for the video.
