Very well engineered.
This is a very well designed greenhouse kit. Having a good level and square base is critical, but that is true of any structure. I spent about 8 hours preparing a sound, level base and foundation of 6x6 timbers, well anchored. Assembly was very simple - just follow the instructions. It's a solid greenhouse that will undoubtedly serve us for many years.

Do not assemble with high wind in the forecast
It was going well. I had the side walls up and had secured it to the base. Unfortunately the next day we had winds in excess of 40 mph and was completely destroyed totally unsalvageable

    poor packaging
    will update once its put together however packaging/shipping is terrible. box is barely holding it together and nuts were falling out of it when we moved it. havent opened the box yet, so apparently there are just loose hardware pieces sliding around and falling out of the sides of the box. hoping nothing fell out and got lost during shipping.

    unbearablesale seller issues
    Item may be great however arrived after Christmas. Seller immediately created a lable however never actually brought item to shipper. Seller shipped 5 days after the date item should arrive. Asked for shipping to be stopped since would no longer need however they still shipped. This was a larger item and they have been a nightmare to get a rma from and are requiring me to pay shipping and bring to shipping service.

    Its virtually indestructible!!! Buy it!!!
    Just installed this and 4 days later got hurricane winds. Our privacy fence blew apart, grill got caught in a tree, and everything in the yard was a disaster. The greenhouse didnt budge! It didnt even rattle! We were absolutely shocked. 65mph winds and it stood strong even with branches falling on it. The door latch can flip up and open the door in a strong wind but a small luggage lock will fix that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    Well designed structure
    Well thought out blueprint and design. All parts were numbered and easy to inventory upon arrival. My husband put it together himself with no problem.

    Don't waste time and money
    The reason why am giving this product one start is because you have to do additional work that you shouldn't have to like drill holes hammer out the bent frame. You can see the pictures I could have taken 10 more to show wha I had to do.

    Disintegrated during the first big thunderstorm.
    I had such high hopes for this! It was great. The temperature was perfect, the assembly was straight-forward (if you have experience with this kind of thing), and it seemed sturdy enough. However, 2 months after purchasing and 1 month after assembling we had a fairly decent storm and the whole thing buckled. This Spring's vegetable crop, 400+ seedlings, are all gone. It was anchored is well so the base is still intact, but the weak aluminum supports couldn't handle the wind. See attached pictures.

    Just as pictured with NO suprises!!!
    Purchased for my wife (which loves it) and we took our time during the assembly process. Inventoried all parts and numbers when it first arrived. Relieved that all parts were there!!! Even at almost 70 we were able to build on level ground easily...having a second person helps both with instructions and holding while building. All parts fit together perfectly and when completely constructed on level ground it is quite stable!! No corners cut with quality as stainless steel, aluminum parts will last for decades. Very happy with our decision on purchasing this model from Palram!!

    Nice little kit-good quality
    Very nice little kit that has good quality material and straight forward to put up. some of the pieces were challenging to fit in but finally made it. Not only is it functional but also nice looking and folks are impressed. I made the 6x6 one and it will be perfect for my needs. Awaiting the heavy duty shelving advertised.

    Great Starter Greenhouse
    I purchased this for the winter of 2015-16. I was hoping to have a permanent greenhouse ready but I wasn't able to complete it on time. So I purchased this to take care of my plants. The little box did it's job and held up to really strong winter storms and gales. Would definitely recommend it!

    Nice Greenhouse
    This little greenhouse is a really nice addition to my garden, and looks great. Well engineered and fairly easy to set up - although it did take about 8 total hours by myself. Very sturdy once assembled. The instructions are all pictures so it is a good idea to view the whole assembly guide to understand the basics. It was also helpful to flip ahead a few pages at each step to help guide you along the process. Had an issue with two braces that connects two pieces - it would not slide together. Had to grind the length of the 12" braces to get it to insert, and re-drill some holes because they did not align then, but it was a fairly easy fix. Also had to cut a 1/4' off one panel to get it to slide in - but again, an easy fix. I didn't inventory everything before I started (probably not a good idea since there are what seemed like a 1000 parts) but everything was there and after assembly all that was left were a few extra screws and such. My kit (6'x8') came in one box when the website said it should be two. Called Hayneedle to confirm but they couldn't tell me - disappointed. So before I cut the banding off and opened it I reached out to Palram and they did confirm it was one box. Palram's customer service is awesome. Very happy so far. Has even held up in gusts of wind of 40+ mph.

    Excellent Value!
    If you find a level surface and take your time with assembly this greenhouse will make a great addition to your garden. They recommend two people assemble, but one is only necessary if you have patience. It's really important to make sure you have all the parts first before doing anything else. My package was crushed on one end and a few plastic parts were broken. They were replaced within a few days! I built a level platform from old wood before assembling the greenhouse. The greenhouse assembly was easy and unforced. The only minor difficulty was the door, despite the completely level surface, leaves a small gap at the top. Because there is a magnet, pushing the door upward holds it straight in place. There are other permanent ways to fix the gap. Overall I would say this is an excellent greenhouse and would recommend it.

    A greenhouse in a weekend!
    This is a great greenhouse kit. Followed the instructions (pictures) and my wife an I had it up and ready to go in time for Sunday dinner. Less than 2 days with partial work each day! It is sturdy, good looking and the 6 X 6 fits perfectly into the space I had for it. I wish I had bought this one first!

    Palram 6x4 Greenhouse
    We bought this greenhouse online a couple of weeks ago and found it to be easy to assemble. It is made of a very durable "twinwall" and the metal aluminium frame is rust resistant. We are very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy a starter greenhouse for the backyard gardener.

    Perfect Starter Greenhouse
    We are small, home gardeners and this greeenhouse met our needs. It was reasonably easy to assemble. It took about 5 hours to assemble and that was in the heat of the summer. We have had our greenhouse since Aug of 2013. With the unexpected lows this winter, it took a little effort to keep the greenhouse heated. We were able to maintain above freezing temperatures with an electric space heater and some insulation. The vent is nice to have during the summer months. The hardest part was building the foundation. We were pleased with the building materials and instructions. We would recommend this greenhouse.

    Excellent Value
    I am a beginning gardener and this greenhouse is PERFECT. Once it is constructed, it is VERY sturdy. There is even a little magnet on the door to keep it open while working. It took me two days to assemble as I did 95% of it by myself. If you have to, it is possible to build it alone. The instructions are entirely made of illustrations, no text, but the pictures are easy to follow. There were no missing pieces. I had two bent edges on two pieces, but since it is aluminum, I was able to easily bend them back straight with pliars. This is a fantastic greenhouse for the money! GET IT!

    Love it, geniously desiged
    I am a technical writer for operator and service manuals for large complex construction equipment. I have an engineering degree also. I think the assembly instuctions are geniously written using nearly only pictures. The only improvement would be a better latch on the door and roof vent, but I plan to make that change myself.
