ShelterLogic 10' x 10' GrowIT Greenhouse-in-a-Box Easy Flow Peak Roof Style Easy Access Outdoor Grow House with Translucent Waterproof Cover

Bought this unit August 2020. We live in Texas so the summers are brutal and it is in direct sun all day. It has held up well. We have had a couple of heavy ice / snow storms and again held up well. It is made for more of a grow house not necessarily a green house for growing / storing plants during the winter. The end sections are not long enough to seal off the unit so we had to tape on plasice pieces on the bottoms to make them long enough to seal off from the ground. Also the unit itself where the ends and the top come together don't totally seal so the use of some waterproof duct tape helps with that. Also where the straps are attached to the end pieces start to tear easily. Again the tape takes care of that. At the end of this summer, 2023, the top started to tear from the brutal sun exposure. I ordered a new cover and just installed it today. I put it over the old one so very easy instalation and giving a little more insulation for the upcoming winter. Overall very happy with the unit. With constant care the unit will last another three years easily. Jjust purchased another unit for my overflow plants, 10 x 10.

I waited to do a review because I saw this had a few bad reviews due to quality and I wanted to let mine make it through a grow season. It was not easy to put up by myself because there are tons of pieces, but when you get it up and stake it down it isn't that bad, overall it took me maybe 6 or 8 hours solo. So far it has made it through a few major storms, lots of high winds and it has been fine. I should add that I added extra support by building a door on the end opening and chain link fence around the sides, with steel posts zip tied to the frame, this secured the greenhouse and made it much more stable. The only thing I wish they would have changed was to allow the sides to go all the way up, instead of just the little flaps on the side. Debating on buying two more for next year, so they are decent.

We've gone through 2 "cheaper" greenhouses from other companies that have eventually collapsed. Our need is probably a bit different than most people because we use it to protect a small Koi pond during VT winters and heavy snow easily collapses cheap shelters. So, after 2 attempts of being cheap I figured I'd give this model a try because it uses much larger steel tubes (1-3/8" vs 3/4"). The end result seems to be fairly sturdy and I have higher hopes for this one compared to past experiences. I wish I could find a model that uses tubing with thicker steel walls, but something like that eludes me and no doubt the steel makes up the bulk of the cost, so anything better would be more expensive.Assembly can be a little confusing - there are a multitude of different steel tubing parts that look very similar and they are identified by rubber-stamped numbers... But many of the stamps are unclear and rather than easy 1, 2, 3 etc these are all 6 digit numbers like 100673 and 100643 - they can be hard to identify the correct part and I have no doubt what smudged marking exists now will fade away by the time we need to disassemble the structure (I plan on remarking all the parts with a paint pen). It's a good idea to spend a few minutes to organize all the parts on the ground with cardboard identifying the part numbers so you can locate the correct parts more easily. But other than that, the instructions are fairly clear and I wasn't missing any hardware. You will definitely need 2 or perhaps even 3 people at times to assemble this thing - it's big, tall and very heavy (which I guess is a good thing). The included ground stakes are very nice, they drill down into the earth nearly 18" and the ratchet strap hardware makes everything very secure - a big improvement over past experiences with cheaper products.Overall I would definitely recommend this greenhouse - it's a step up in robustness from the cheaper alternatives and well designed.

This greenhouse is great. Our first one lasted YEARS! The zipper was sewn in upside down in the latest purchase. After getting ahold of the seller, we were told to reach out to ShelterLogic ourselves. So I did. They were more than accommodating, and shipped us a COMPLETE replacement (sans frame) at no cost, and it was here within a couple of days. I recommend SHELTERLOGIC to anyway wanting a fast, inexpensive, easy to set up, greenhouse.

I rarely write bad reviews, I really hate doing it, but this greenhouse has serious problems. First, it's definitely a challenge to assemble. Thankfully I have a colleague with a construction background who is familiar with putting together ShelterLogic products who agreed to come help me for an hourly fee. However, as we were laying out the pieces to make the framework we discovered we were missing 4 crucial pieces. So there I was, on my day off, paying someone to help me put this together, and there's no way we can finish because we're missing pieces (which meant I had to pay him to come out twice ). Thankfully customer services was pleasant and responsive and I got the missing pieces a few days later. When we did finally get everything assembled, the covering on each end of the greenhouse was about 6in off the ground, letting in all the cold air. I was going to put a heater in my greenhouse for the coldest nights, but now there's no point as any warm air will go right out the sides. Shortly after completing the greenhouse we have about 3 days of light rain. I go into the greenhouse to check the plants, only to find everything is soaking wet! I poke at the ceiling of the greenhouse and get drenched in water drops. Yes, the entire INSIDE ceiling of the greenhouse is covered in water from rain. Keep in mind I live in California, zone 9B, so this was a light California rain, in 50 degree weather, on a brand-new greenhouse that the company states is waterproof. So now not only can I not run a heater, I can't install the grow lights I invested in because they'll get soaking wet. Maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe I did something wrong in assembly, but I expected a shelter that would keep my plants dry and provide some insulation from the cold. Right now it's doing none of those things.
