Im a 71 year old female and I assembled this greenhouse without any extra help. Harvey Willards video in the reviews helped me a lot. Thank you Harvey. I attached the bottom frame to treated 2x4s expecting it to be secure enough for windy days. I was wrong. We had high winds last night and I woke up this morning with the greenhouse blown over into my patio. Luckily my germinated plants survived the disaster. I was able to maneuver the greenhouse back to its original location. I used the rope sent with the greenhouse and tied it down to a nearby picnic table and to the posts on my pergola (see my pictures). Im hoping this keeps it from blowing away. The stakes sent with this unit are of no use. They are short and thin. So do not rely on just using the rope and stakes sent with this product. It must be held down with much longer stakes or attached to heavy structures. I do like the size of this greenhouse and the zippers work nicely (so far). I will update my review once I have used it long term. I would buy this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller more affordable greenhouse.
Needs more stability
