Tomatoes in March, in Ontario

“Okay so my husband thought I was nuts spending this much on a "hobby" but two seasons in and I am not exaggerating when I say I had tomato starts going by mid March. We got that huge February dump of snow and I kept going out there convinced it was going to cave in and it just... didn't. Frame hasn't moved an inch. Worth every penny, tell your husband I said so.”

good buy

“went with the 8m after doing the math on how much we were spending on greens all winter. assembly took me and my brother in law a full saturday which was longer than i thought it'd be but its been solid since. no complaints”

Good starter size, docking a star for price

“We have a pretty tight urban lot so the 4m was really our only option and it fits nicely against the fence line. Doors are heavier than I expected which is honestly reassuring given the wind we get off the water. Only reason it's not 5 stars is I still think about the price more than I'd like to admit. Good product though.”

WORTH EVERY PENNY

“THREE GENERATIONS eating out of this thing now!! We went big on purpose because we're feeding more than one household off it and let me tell you it was the right call. The bolted construction was the deciding factor over a welded competitor we almost bought from - NO RUST after a full year. Linda says hi.”

Vents actually work

“The roof vents make a real difference on hot days, we barely need a fan. Instructions were translated fine, not perfect but fine. Herbs all winter now, my mother is jealous.”

Good kit, shipping was a headache

“Product itself is fine, no issues with the actual greenhouse once it arrived. My complaint is entirely about the delivery window - it slipped by almost two weeks with not a lot of communication until I emailed asking what was going on. Once it showed up everything was in good shape and assembly was straightforward for a retired guy with a bad knee. Just manage your expectations on timing.”

Exactly what we wanted

“We wanted a fully controlled space so we're not spraying anything on food we're feeding our kids, and this delivers on that completely. The doors on both ends make airflow so much easier to manage than I expected going in. I did a lot of research before buying and I'm glad I landed here.”

solid but read the manual twice

“we get brutal wind out here so i reinforced the anchor points more than the manual called for just to be safe, hasnt budged since. wish there was an assembly video, the printed guide alone took me a couple tries to get right on a few steps. product itself no complaints”

love it

“Perfect for our small yard in Ottawa. That's really it, that's the review. Very happy.”

Good for scaling a small operation

“We sell at two farmers markets and needed more controlled square footage without a full commercial-scale investment, and this bridged the gap. Would like a wider door option for wheelbarrow access - had to widen the path a bit on our end. Otherwise does what we needed.”

My neighbours keep asking about it

“So we'd been talking about getting a greenhouse for probably three years before actually pulling the trigger, kept putting it off because of the cost and honestly a little bit of laziness on our part. Finally did it last spring. We're getting produce well into November now which just wasn't happening before, the foundation base included with the kit made leveling so much less of a headache than I was bracing myself for, and now I've had two different neighbours ask where we got it. Would 100% recommend, just don't wait three years like we did.”

NIGHT AND DAY vs my old one

“Compared to the flimsy plastic pop-up frame we had before that collapsed under snow TWICE, this is a completely different category of product. Steel frame, thicker panels, doesn't flex in wind like the old one did. Should have upgraded years ago honestly.”

Step one of a bigger plan

“This was step one in a longer-term plan for us to grow most of our own produce, which is why we went with the largest size instead of easing in - didn't want to outgrow it in a year or two and have to think about upgrading. Already planning a hydroponic corner for next season using the extra space along the back wall. If you're on the fence about going big, we don't regret it.”

good for beginners

“never grown anything past a windowsill herb pot before this lol. the folding shelf that came with it was a nice surprise, gave me somewhere to start seedlings right away without buying extra stuff. still learning what im doing but the greenhouse itself has been easy”

Update after 3 winters

“Leaving this as a follow-up review since most of the reviews on sites like this are from people who just unboxed the thing. I've had mine three winters now. Got burned by a cheap kit years back where the plastic went cloudy and brittle within a single season, so I was watching this one closely for the same thing. Hasn't happened. Still clear, still lets plenty of light through, no yellowing that I can see. That's really the whole review - it's held up, which is more than I can say for the last one.”

Cracked panel, but handled well

“Not going to pretend everything was perfect out of the box - one roof panel had a hairline crack when it arrived. Emailed them with the order number and a photo of the crack, and the replacement panel showed up before I'd even finished putting together the rest of the frame. Honestly better support experience than I've had with much bigger companies. Bumping this up to 5 stars because of how it was handled, would've been 3 otherwise.”

It's fine

“Does what it's supposed to do. Nothing about it wowed us but nothing failed either. Assembly instructions could be clearer in a couple of spots, we ended up guessing on the order of two steps and it worked out but wasn't obvious. For the price I expected to feel a little more excited about it than I do. Neutral overall.”

!!!

“obsessed with this thing. bought it a month ago so cant speak to the long term yet but so far so good, easy to put together with two people, basil is going crazy in there already. will update if anything changes but right now 10/10”

Good size for a big family

“Bought the 10m for our extended family, we split the cost three ways between households which made it a lot more reasonable. Assembly is genuinely a two-day job if you're doing it properly and not rushing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise for this size. Once it's up though it's been great, everyone's been using it.”

Disappointed with delivery, product is okay

“I want to be fair here - the greenhouse itself once assembled is decent. But my order shipped to the wrong regional depot and I spent almost three weeks on the phone/email sorting it out before it actually got to my house. By the time it arrived I'd basically lost the beginning of my planting season. If you're not in a hurry it's probably fine, but the logistics side needs work. Might update this if a future order goes smoother.”
