This was pretty easy to assemble, and directions were clear. The parts are labeled well. I got it all set up and staked down with the provided hardware. Everything was great until a gnarly windstorm hit while I was away from home. The greenhouse blew across the yard, but as a credit to its sturdiness, it didnt break.
I watched a video on YouTube where some suggested securing the corners with buckets of water, which also retain heat and humidity. I also filled the floor inside with gravel, flipped the excess cover material under, and topped them with gravel to secure them. This worked perfectly, and since then, its survived several hail storms, wind, heavy rain, an even six inches of sudden snow. Im sure Ill eventually build a permanent one but this was great to test the waters and learn some stuff before I did anything permanent.
Good with a little extra effort!
