VIVOSUN 57 x 29 x 77-Inch Mini Walk-in Greenhouse with Windows, Shelves and Anchors, Plant Garden Hot House

Every season we grow the vegetable first at home and plant them in the garden. It works great with a little limitations due to the sunshine. I decided to try a green house and ordered this item. I checked all reviews and did some preparation before the setup. As seen in the pictures a level ground, some hooks and stick them in the concrete to stable the green house were the most important additions. I also added elliptic non-concrete areas which has access to soil through the gravel. Before doing all set up, I assembled the green house.It comes with a 2 page instruction which is very clear and straightforward. Plastic joins look solid and the metal bars fit in them very nicely. It took me 15 min and you can do it yourself easily. The cover is not the best quality but if attached carefully and secured correctly it will not go anywhere. I also used zip ties at every corner to the metal bars I embedded in the concrete. Do not forget to zip tie the shelves. They are very thin but will Easily handle the load you will put on.So far happy with the setup.

This was fairly easy to set up. All in It took about an hour. Directions are okay, parts aren't well labeled in the packages but we made it through okay. The doors and windows work well. It has weathered some strong winds without issue. It is being used as a butterfly house for Yellow Swallowtails and Monarchs.

[7/16/22: I promise I will come back within the next month to edit this review, once I assemble this greenhouse.][8/6/22: Assembled!]if you're like me, and you know there will be lag time between buying a greenhouse kit and assembling it, I strongly recommend taking the time to open the box and count all of the parts as soon as it arrives. I've seen many Amazon reviews of greenhouse kits (by various manufacturers) that complain about missing parts, or the wrong number of certain parts. Depending upon what is missing, you'll either be slightly inconvenienced (having to buy bolts or washers), or not be able to build your greenhouse at all because you're missing something major. The sooner you know there's a problem, the easier it is to do something about it.The issue of wrong/missing parts made me hesitate to order a kit from Amazon, but I need a greenhouse frame and the price is good, so I took a chance on this one from Vivosun. It arrived a few days ago, and I immediately opened the box and inventoried all the parts.When it arrived, the box had a hole in one end, with three of the poles protruding through it. Fortunately, they weren't damaged, and after removing everything from the box I was happy to see that all of the correct poles were present.The hardware, however, came in a bag that was torn to shreds, and was obviously put in the box in that condition. So the smallest bits of hardware—the washers and the plastic caps—were scattered through the box. In the end, I was lucky; all of the crucial hardware was present, and the only things missing were some of the plastic caps to cover the bolt ends (I was supposed to get 53, but only got 47). I can live with that, but it's just sloppy.The poles don't feel flimsy, and the cover appears to be of good quality. I have to finish clearing and leveling the spot where this will go, and I will probably assemble it unassisted; I'll update as soon as I do.Assembly update: I've got the most difficult work done; all I need to finish is the roof supports, but they're relatively easy.I'm a 50-something woman, in reasonably good shape with no mobility issues, and I've assembled this single-handedly. I started at 7:30 AM, and it's now 10:40; I've probably got another 30-45 minutes to finish it. However, if I was assembling this again, I could do it a lot faster—maybe in two hours or so, given what I've learned while putting this one together.The trick is to completely assemble the sides, up to the first tier of curved roof pieces, while they are lying flat on the ground. Attach the sill support pieces at the outer corners (they will be in a vertical position until you tip the sides upright).Then, tip the finished sides upright into a standing position. At both ends, add the two upper curved roof supports to complete each arch by slipping them into place, then secure them by dropping bolts through from the top—there is no need to add the nuts until you install the lengthwise roof supports. Getting the end arches stable will hold the entire structure in place while you bolt together the lower sill supports at both ends and finish putting the rest of the arches in place.What took me so long was trying to assemble the lower sides in an upright position while struggling to keep them upright, and, when I gave up and decided to assemble them lying on the ground, I only added the first tier of curved roof supports to the ends, instead of installing all of them at the same time. This meant I had to go back and undo all the washers, remove the bolts, add the roof supports, reposition the bolts, and tighten the washers back down again. It was dumb, and a total waste of time. Don't be dumb. Don't be me.I also struggled briefly while installing the central ridgepole support for the roof until I remembered I had some twisty rubber gear ties. Those will hold the poles up, leaving your hands free to hold the bolt still with the provided hex wrench, and tighten the nuts. A socket wrench will be a huge help, but the cheap little wrench provided with the kit came in handy when I had to tighten the outer corners, as the head of my socket wrench was too big to get in close enough.The interior dimensions are 9'6" x 19'6", and it's 74" tall at the bottom of the central ridgepole. I saw other reviews mentioning that it was slightly smaller than described, so I expected this. I'm using this as the basis for an outdoor enclosure for my cats, and it's a good size for that. Looking at it in its intended space, I think I could have bought a bigger one, but this was the maximum size I felt comfortable assembling unassisted. Now that I have it (mostly) together, and know how to do it alone, I'll probably buy an additional, larger greenhouse kit when I add another enclosure. But for now, this is what I needed, and I'm pleased with ot.

This is the perfect size for the space I have. I was excited to get it and set it up and I was willing to compromise on some of the quality to get a budget greenhouse.Unfortunately the quality issues I found with it were numerous.The first one I received had several missing struts and hardware pieces critical to assemble the structure.I figured, eh, it's fine, I can cobble together some spare parts from my workshop and make it work. I set it up and even though it's missing a large number of the end pieces required to protect the cover from the sharp edges of the pipes, I made it work.Then I tried to zip the door opening shut after opening it. Which is the whole point - you want a closed greenhouse to keep the heat inside.Apparently you're not supposed to zip it shut once you open it. The zipper broke immediately.Okay, no worries.I submitted a return for it and was notified that it would be replaced within a day of my return. Coolio! New one's coming, now I just need to take it down and replace it with the new one.So I took the time to make sure it was properly secured and that I had everything exactly how it was meant to be assembled per the absolutely terrible isometric drawings in the laughingly titled manual, because I'd be getting one that wasn't missing parts or had manufacturing flaws in the cover or didn't have razor edges on the metal pipes that weren't burred off.Right?Right?Not so much.When the new one came I went through the parts again and the part list.They're the exact same product in the exact same box.And yet they appear to be missing ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PIECES.The replacement cover has yet to break the zipper itself, even with no additional clamps/strain placed on the cover (which is required via instructions to keep the thing on the ground. It apparently also doubles as a kite in winds over 5mph, a fact I learned when it attempted to climb over my garage roof, even if it's secured to the ground with the 1/8th nylon rope and 6" pins that are laughably considered " guy lines").But it did in fact rip RIGHT NEXT TO THE ZIPPER. Okay, whatever, I used some reinforcement tape and some spare repair kit stuff to seal it up. I'd planned on modding the thing anyway with some venting (no vents at the gables, by the way, so good luck if you get insects trapped inside).So, aside from both units missing struts, bolts, nuts, pipe end covers, etc, I also found that the pipes are excessively thin and use 10mm nuts. Overtightening them bends the pipes, and as stated previously, the pipe end caps meant to prevent that or discourage it are all missing.Last but not least: the lack of venting. There are six sidewall vents that apparently do little more than allow water to pour through the sidewall.I'm keeping one of these for now in the hope that I can DIY some reinforcement because it really is the only one that fits in the space I have for it. But when 2 out of 2 units shipped have this kind of major structural issues I can't recommend enough going with something else.Oh, remember those pipe edges? Unfortunately when removing the cover from the greenhouse take it down, those pipe edges neatly sliced massive rents in the cover to the point I decided to take a burr grinder and some duct tape to the ends of the new one before setting it up.I can't stress enough how shoddy the manufacturing feels on this. If it doesn't develop massive tears I wind up reinforcing with duct tape and super glue I'll be shocked.So be forewarned. Maybe I got damaged/opened boxes. Maybe I got a return. Maybe it was just weird dumb luck, but if i was asked, tomorrow, if I'd buy another one, I would probably laugh for a good five to ten minutes before saying, "Heh. No."But I've got Amazon returns going for me here. So that's nice.TLDR: purchasing this greenhouse has been an exercise in frustration and irritation culminating in my unwilling modification of a greenhouse product that for some reason seems to have been manufactured by people whose skin exhibits the properties of kevlar. And I probably spent well over $50 just in parts and stuff to get what was delivered to me functional - something I could have easily spent to get a different greenhouse unit.If none of that feels like a deal breaker to you, please enjoy your as-is greenhouse from Vivosun.Unfortunately this does mean I really don't plan on buying any of their other products regardless of how inexpensive they are, because six days of "what the actual..." has left me with a cautionary tale and an aversion to their quality control.

Easy to assemble. Fits a lot of plants. There are two vents left and right and a huge entrance. Anyone under 5' 11" can fit inside. It does get very hot inside. We have it facing South West. We hooked up a small rotating sprinkler with a timer on the upper bar with a hose. Very sturdy. We have it against the house and has hold up against strong winds. Would recommend.

El invernadero llegó en tiempo y forma, exelente embalaje super fácil de ensamblar, calidad y buen precio

Es bueno pero las rejillas tendrían que ser más rígidas para que soporten mejor las macetas ya que aunque sean pequeñas las macetas las rejillas se pandean.

Habe das Gewächshaus heute bekommen und gleich aufgebautEs ging ganz einfach und schnell,und es macht mir einen guten und stabilen Eindruck

Overall I like this product however it has not been tested through a pacific northwest winter yet. The plastic cover is thick and the poles are metal, the metal mesh shelves are flimsy but I will put wood over top and it should make it sturdier.
