[12x13.5FT] Premium Extra Large Outdoor Aluminum Poylcarbonate Greenhouse With Quick Connect Fitting (94263715)

I purchased this so that I would be able to put my blowup hot tub inside of it. I'm not gonna be using it as a greenhouse, but using the concept of a greenhouse to keep it warm in the winter for my hot tub. This thing is so stylish looking and it's cute as it can be sitting there and even though my hot tub isn't quite Set up yet, you can clearly see that it's going to have plenty room for the hot tub plus a couple chairs and a long table where I can put a couple plants. It took two people 6 1/2 hours to completely assemble it, but that was because I had already pulled all the materials out of the box and put them in order by number so that they could access them easier so technically it could take an eight or 10 hour day. I think that not only does it look good but I walked out in 32° weather at 8 AM after the sun had been up for only an hour and inside was at least 30° warmer so I think it's gonna be absolutely perfect for my needs. I'm pretty pleased with it right now. I read the directions the day before they assembled it and highlighted a few things such as using a mallet instead of a hammer and making sure the white paper was sticking out such details. Now you'll see in my photos I actually left the white paper on two of the windows in the very front and I did this for privacy purposes but all the other windows I did go ahead and peel back all the white backing, and it's looking good.

It took a bit to get it together but the instructions were easy to follow. All the parts (and a few extra) arrived in good shape. I chose this one because reviews said that the instructions were easy to follow. Definitely takes 2 people. It took us awhile to get it together as my husband is a perfectionist. He added a solar panel for self watering and grow lights. We have had one cold night and I heated it with an aquarium heater in a bucket of water.

Okay— the directions to put this thing together was an absolute nightmare. Super confusing, not detailed and just a pain. Main reason I think it's suggested to have a few people put it together- is so you have multiple brains to hope one of you understand what's going on with the directions. Don't expect to have this done in a day or two. You'll need a mental break from the stress of it.With this being said— I only gave 4 stars because the outcome was perfect and I love it. Also, customer service from SAKSBY.com is great if you have any issues. Just make sure to mentally prepare yourself to put this thing together.

This is long but well worth the read for what you are paying for this item plus the price of your precious plants you have already paid for. I read all the reviews on this item and decided to take a chance. I live in North Florida, where the weather drops below freezing and I need to keep my Vanda and Phalaenopsis Orchids alive. The item was packaged in a way that might make you panic at first, but if you follow the directions, you will be able to put it together. It arrived in 2 pieces on 2 different days. You will need 2 people to assemble it, as it took us 3 full days of 8 hours each to complete. One reviewer stated to have done it alone, but I think that person was very brave.I had read in a review that it would take 3 full days, so I was prepared for the time frame. Another reviewer suggested not to force the siding into the grooves, as it could break them. Take your time and use a screwdriver or something to pry the slots open a little to make it easier to slide them into place if the siding is giving you trouble. I had trouble with one piece of siding going in even after I opened the groves, so I sprayed some lubricant (the one that has the letter W and the number forty) into the groove, and the siding slid right into place.Take your time and read the instructions over once before starting, so you have a general idea. Then start the assembly by rereading each instruction and completing the task. I recommend using a level to square up things as you go. You will need to move the outer piece around to make it square, but the structure is light enough at the beginning to have 2 people pick it up and make it square.It has been about 5 nights below freezing and a windchill warning, and my orchids inside are happy and healthy, and some are even blooming. Now, I have only had this item for December and January in North Florida, so during the summer, we shall see how it holds up and how it protects them from the very harsh summer sun. We have even had some high wind advisories, and it has been fine (mine is not out in an open area. It is also surrounded by large palm trees, bamboo, and a building on the other side). For what it is doing for me so far, it was worth every penny, even the installation.

Just wanted to congratulate the makers of this product for being accurate on the parts' sizes and how perfectly everything matches. It's sturdy and the materials seem durable. The manual was very helpful and the greenhouse perfectly designed. The price is a fraction of the cost in comparison to other products from well known brands, so that makes it affordable to more people who want to get the job done, while enjoying a nice looking design as well. We added a heater and it's nice and cozy in there! I still have work to do decorating it, but my plants are safe and I have a little space for enjoying the garden even in the winter. Really happy with this. Thank you for making this!
