Outsunny 6' x 8' Greenhouse for Outdoors, Polycarbonate Greenhouse with Rain Gutter and Roof Vent, Aluminum Walk-in Green Houses with Push Door for Outside for Patio Backyard Garden, Gray

My wife and I put this together and love it. This is a fantastic product for its price point. It is well engineered and much better than one might expect for the cost. It is tedious and sometimes difficult to assemble and definitely requires two people for much of it. Assembly will take at least an entire day. Instructions could be better as it is all just pictures/diagrams. They really need to add some written information to help you thru many of the steps and to prevent multiple efforts for the same step. There will be allot of tightening, loosening and retightening to make it all fit together as designed. Be diligent and patient, and you will get a great greenhouse!

I have been so very disappointed in this product! When we assembled the frame, the bracing didn't fit as the pictures and instructions indicated. We actually had to drill extra holes to make it work. The panels are so flimsy they tear loose with anything stronger than a 10 mph breeze. We even reinforced the panels with brackets and gorilla tape, to no avail! The panels fell out and blew around the yard within the first 4 weeks. Unfortunately for us, we counted on it lasting a little while longer and set the feet in post mix to secure the greenhouse against the wind. Now it'll be a bigger pain in the neck to remove. I may just buy some plexiglass and replace the crappy panels with something sturdier. I would NOT recommend investing in this sham of a greenhouse. Save a little longer and buy something of good quality.

This is a good greenhouse for this price point Although it says heavy duty, it seemed a little shaky putting together. Once you get it all together, its much better. Unless you live in an area with NO wind, you need to anchor it. We used 4x4 with extra anchors at each corner. We are still in the process of caulking to make it even better. That is a time consuming task! The polycarbonate panels are thin, I was surprised, as I thought they would be sturdier, so I don't know how this will hold up with snow next winter. I have a feeling I'm going to be scooping snow off the greenhouse every time it snows. The window panels are very loose, they kind of slide back and forth about 1/4 inch, and we don't know if this was supposed to happen or not. Putting it together...nothing like a picture book instruction manual to get the blood flowing! Some of the pictures are very tiny and required a magnifying glass to see the angles and how the ends went together. So their instructions could definitely be much better. Listen and follow the instructions! Don't tighten everything, you'll just end up loosening and retightening those screws later after adding more sections connecting those screws that show up later in the instructions! Also, there is protective covering on each side of the panels. One is white and one is clear. Something we missed...the white side cover on the panels needs to be facing out on the greenhouse. We just peeled and put them up and now have no idea what side was what. One side has the protective UV covering... But that being said, if you take your time and work together, read ahead a bit in the "instruction book" and get an idea of what is what, but don't skip any steps! Once it started coming together it was wobbly, and Im glad I read the reviews so I was prepared for this. But we did keep saying, this can't be right it's too wobbly. Panels in make it much sturdier and by the time the roof goes on, you'll be thinking, now it's getting better. There are gaps, especially in the door and the windows, we will have to get some weather stripping or something where it cannot be caulked. it took us almost 2 days working about 6hrs each day. It's a good size, (10x6), perfect for what I needed. It was about 95 degrees in there yesterday with our outside temp at 69, so it does get hot quickly, but it wasn't really retaining the heat by the time it was getting chilly outside, maybe that will change once we finish caulking. I had the windows open and a fan running to keep the air circulating. Can't wait to be able to keep my plants in there when its warm enough at night! The seller is very easy to work with! They even answer the phone when you call! The greenhouse comes in 3 boxes and FEDEX lost one. Aesom was very quick about getting a replacement sent out, but then FEDEX pulled their heads out and we received the box. Aesom has sent messages to make sure everything is here and for that they get 5 stars!!

Packaging (B+): Came in 2 boxes; one for the frame, one for the plastic panes. Zero damage to the panes (great packing). Very minor bending here and there to a handful of the dozens of frame pieces (corners and such), but they are aluminum, so easily bent back. Assembly (B-not easy, not hard): I was able to assemble this 99% by myself over several hours, although the estimate in the manual contemplates 2-3 people. I had to puzzle out some of the instructions, but overall they were pretty good. Caveat: I am really good at assembling things. If you are not, you should expect to need help from someone who is. There are A LOT of parts. Quality (A+ for value): Machining was excellent. Frame is sturdy. I want to say upfront that for the price this is a tremendous value. That said, I would not expect panels to survive a harsh winter in the Northeast U.S. (they are fairly flimsy), and will take precautions. I will either cut outdoor plywood to cover it or will put it inside a tent storage unit I have. It is easily picked up an moved by two people. Incidentally, because it is so light, I am going to anchor it to a 24" steel spike driven into the ground at each corner, just to be safe. The spikes are available from a big box home center in the concrete rebar section and only cost around $10 for 4. Just one more note on value: I may replace all the panels with Lucite in a couple of years. I think this will cost about as much as the unit did originally, but in my opinion the frame is of high enough quality that even if this causes the cost all-in to double, this is still a great value. Customer service (A+++): A small bag of 6 screws was missing from my unit. I contacted customer service and they responded promptly. Then, they went above and beyond the call of duty to resolve the problem.

Received it a couple days early. It came well packed in two boxes. Be prepared because going thru the numerous parts will be daunting. Lots of lengths of nicely anodized extruded aluminum lengths. Many with the same shape but different lengths. Some parts didn't have their part numbers on them so that had to be determined. The vinyl windows are pretty nice, with UV protection. Lots and lots of fasteners, even extras if you lose a few which is nice. As mentioned by others, the instructions are only pictures - no words or explanations and worse of all, no dimensions. Although much of it can be assembled by one person, there are some steps that require two. And a 2nd set of eyes will help in understanding the instructions. If you plan on doing this with a spouse, best to first line up a good divorce attorney. The directions omit what I think is critical, and that's making sure the assembled base is perfectly square by measuring diagonally. We were off 1½" and didn't realize it and saw the impact when installing the clear panels. And until it's all assembled, it's basically a house of cards. Don't even attempt assembly with even a breeze over 5 mph. I added a few more braces to add some much-needed structural integrity - on the walls and especially on the door. It has no cross brace so it's a bit wonky. We used a drill motor with a socket which made things easier. It's all assembled with short bolts using 10mm open end or socket. Some have said to leave the fasteners loose - I found it better to tighten things as you go, and loosen those fasteners as needed to add additional parts. Don't expect this to be even remotely air tight. Even caulking around the window panels will still leave a lot of air gaps. I bought a garage door weather strip to help seal around the door. In all honesty, it might have been easier to just build a wood frame and find the "glass" someplace. We'll see how it holds up to a PNW winter and will revise this review accordingly Update: Well we had a 50mph windstorm about 6 weeks ago and 2 "windows" blew out. I was able to get them back in but barely. I'm sure they would have withstood the wind had I been able to caulk everything properly. I did apply some but the below freezing temps, then the rain ruined it. The lesson is do this build in warmer weather.

The instructions left out information, like "Make sure this piece lines up at this point because later, you're gonna need to slide something past it." Or, "Make sure to slide an extra bolt in during this step because you'll have a hard time trying to get it in later." The instructions do not mark the front of the door or the outside of the vent window, so you have to make an educated guess unless you read ahead. And if you plan to place this on a patio, you'll need some 2x8 boards to line the bottoms. There are 'feet-spikes' you HAVE to put on and they go into the ground. Putting this on a patio doesn't work without a base of some sort, like 2x8 boards. Had to cut those to fit and then drill holes in the 'feet-spikes' for the screws to go into the wood. Also, several pieces were not cut correctly - like being too long. I had to get a friend to grind one bar down because it was too long by 1/16" and it wouldn't go into place. There were holes not drilled in the right places and one hole I had to drill completely on my own. I also had to widen a few holes. The panels are not 'hard' plastic. There is a lot of flex to them. Be sure you add clear caulk between them and the frame so a strong wind doesn't knock them out. The frame seems sturdy enough, but I guess we'll see when a bad storm comes through. I'm happy with it since it's done, but it was a stressful two days of building - and you have to have two or more folks to build this. This is NOT a solo job.

This makes me so happy. Such a great greenhouse if you're just starting out or don’t have much space but want a nice structure to house your plants, this is a great option. It does take some time to construct but once you get the hang of it, it ends up going pretty quickly. I would suggest to watch the video they provide by scanning the QR code on the instruction manual, as well as there are a few YouTube videos to help you out. I am still in the process of constructing the structure, and thought it would be nice to see photos of the construction of th greenhouse in real time. I will continue to post during my progress. For now, I give it a thumbs up!

I’m a custom cabinet maker for 30 years, I have every tool on earth and am a master at putting anything together. That said, this piece of crap was an absolute nightmare!! 8 full hours of assembly time!! Holes didn’t line up. Directions were written out of order so what was struggled with in any given step needed to be un done to allow something to happen five steps later. I drilled many additional holes and used a hundred self tapping screws to make this work. Of course one would not. know the trouble ahead until you are a third of the way through and the item is then un returnable. It ruined my weekend, cost me $800 for my eight hours- I bill out at $100/ hr. I PITY “ harry homeowner” white collar guy if he buys this awful piece of crap!

Very simple to put together. Built this on a 6x6 base took me just over 4 hours to put together. Directions were very simple to follow and it went together very easily. If you have ever assembled anything in your life this greenhouse is a piece of cake to put together. It’s nice and sturdy and I’m sure it will last for many years

Absolutely love this greenhouse. With vertical planters has a lot of space. Built on a wooden deck platform and addedd outdoor carpet. Also added automatic window opener (highly recommend). Have it in a sheltered area. Says heavy duty but I'd be cautious if placed in an open area as the panels are flimsy. Came with hundreds of screws and bolts. My Husband is a general contractor and it took 8 hours to build. Not the best instructions but there are a few good videos online. But the end result was exactly what I wanted. We'll fully tarp it in the winter.

We like it! Def not a glass weight, took about 14 hours total to put together, including clearing the area under to make it flat. You need a small saw for just 4 of the poles. Or a rachet set. Instructions do not have words, just pictures. My kids were able to help in the process, door is really cool and slides over. We also got a warmer and a fan for inside should work well in the Canadian winter if it is caulked in the fall. The descriptions in the sidebar were quite accurate overall!

Absolute nightmare to put together and I am a handy person. The instruction's are beyond horrible as you end up having to go back far too many times and change pieces and parts and so on as it is so horribly written and not clear. Even after following all the instructions the panels wont fit and the support beams had to be redrilled as it's such a horrible unit. I despise this greenhouse and the pain it has been to try and build it. I ended up taking it all down after four days of work and threw it away. Not with the time or the money!

Edited review 2 months later. This is your warning, Do not buy! Bought the 4’x6’ greenhouse. Instructions were hard to read and many times I had to unscrew and take things off to add a screw into the middle sliding section, then put back on and retighten. Took about 6hrs to put together if not a bit longer. Might have been easier to have put the base together, then the roof and then attach the 2, but because multiple pieces slide and fit into each other, might not be possible. But definitely when I came to the roof section, the next steps seemed to be afterthoughts, so read ahead and add in screws so you don’t have to risk breaking by trying to pry apart enough to slide screws in. Good luck! Now that it’s put together I love it. Just would have done more research if I knew it would take so long to put together. Edited review: it has only been 2 months and this piece of crap is falling apart. The screws are shaking loose, and panels fall out. Even more of a nightmare to try and put panels back in once it falls apart. DO NOT BUY unless you have patience if a saint and want to have it twist and blow over in the wind!
