Customer Reviews

A ripping time.....
I bought this after it had good reviews on the Beeb's gardening messageboards. For three weeks it was fine - then the plastic cover started to come away from the zip on both sides of the door. It was kept against a fence away from the elements so I don't think that it was wind damage. It's a shame because this product is a very real alternative if your garden isn't large enough for a greenhouse.

Watch them grow...
I borrowed one of these from my in-laws, and it worked very well for me.

I started my seedlings off in here and kept some peppers in. I also grew some lettuces out of season.

It's only small so you won't be able to keep a jungle in there. I have read that people have had problems with the plastic ripping. The plastic on mine is (so far) unscathed and the zips are still firmly attached. If you can't afford a glass greenhouse, or don't have room, then this is perfect.

The metal shelves and frame make this quite sturdy, the only problems I can find are:

*No ventilation cover to open. In summer when it's red hot, to keep the greenhouse from overheating you have to unzip the door, an zippable panel at the top would be better.

*It blows over easy if there's not much weight in it.

Overall though - this has been a great addition to my garden, easy to put up and put away. If my plastic rips then I'll update my 4 star rating on this review, but so far I'm very happy with it.

Good but...
In theory this is a great pruduct and works well as an alternative to a glass greenhouse. It is very easy to put together but make sure that you put plenty heavy plants etc on the bottom row as it is quite flimsy and could blow over in the wind.

I would recommend that if you buy this greenhouse, you buy an extra plastic cover for it. I've had my greenhouse for about a month and the plastic has come away from the zip, leaving a hole in it. The plastic covers are cheap enough to replace so it isn't a problem, but as this seems to be a common problem, be prepared!
