Pure Garden 3 Tier Mini Greenhouse with Rust-Resistant Frame and PVC Cover

This was so easy to put together I didn't even need the instructions!! I've put heavy plants on the shelves, they are sturdy. I had mine inside near a sunlit window and watered each day- it actually has the greenhouse effect!! Great value for the price! This was a birthday gift that I had gotten for myself and I was happy!

This thing is great. This was our first try with any kind of greenhouse and it's going well. The design of this is basic, but that's to be expected for what it is. It took 10 minutes to assemble and everything is just press-fittings, so no tools needed. I recommend using a zip tie to affix the center of each grate/rack to the support rods. The racks are bowed upward when they arrive and the zip tie flattens this out and keeps the racks from moving. We got this so we could get a jump on our garden, and started our plants in mid April in New Hampshire. We can't plant in the ground until mid-late May. I put 60 plantable pots (about 12oz size) in and they fit easily. With 3 plants in each we have 180 starters for our garden. This seems to have been a pretty optimal packing density for this size greenhouse. It's allowing plenty of light down to the lower shelves, while still making good use of the growing area. Periodically rotate plants top to bottom for even sunlight. Watering is easy as this has an open bottom. Temperature stability is something you need to monitor with this design. It's not a flaw with the unit, it's just a consequence of it being so small. The temperature can rise quickly in the sun and exceed the maximum levels for your plants. Likewise, it can drop quickly to ambient temperature if the weather turns cloudy on a cool day. I bought an affordable bluetooth thermometer/hygrometer so monitor its status from inside the house. In full sun on a 65 degree day the inside temp will exceed 100 degrees at which point I unzip the access flap and use a log to keep it in place. Effectively this gives you two full-height slats to regulate temperature. This works well, so if you're not going to be home all day to monitor it and warm temps / sun are in the forecast, just unzip it and secure the flap in place to keep it working well. If the forecast calls for cooler temps or no sun, go ahead and leave it zipped closed. That brings me to the drawback to this small and simple design. If you live in a climate that sees freezing or near-freezing temps in the spring, you're going to need to move the greenhouse inside or arrange a heating solution. The temp will quickly fall to ambient when the sun goes down and your plants will die. I carry it into the garage for cold nights. You'll need decent upper body strength for this, as it can get heavy when loaded and it's awkward to carry without toppling plants. If you're going to carry it I also recommend using rope or bungees to secure the levels together. The press-fittings can come apart when you lift it loaded. I think a better way might be something like a safe heater on a timer, but I haven't experimented. Wind is another consideration. Find something sturdy in a sunny location and bungee or ratchet strap it to that something. This WILL blow over and ruin your plants if you don't do this. Overall it s a great design for its intended use and its drawbacks can be overcome pretty easily.

a little costly but it works

My plants look so good after winter

I purchased this specifically for a hothouse environment to start seeds and clones so I wouldn't have a bunch of individual lids to remove to mist them. it's perfect for this. A couple of the shelves were a little bent and didn't lay down flat, but this was easily remedied with a few plastic zip ties, which I would've done to secure any other shelf to make sure it didn't fall with my delicate seedlings. Despite this minor flaw, it's well worth the money! So far, the zippers work smoothly without catching or getting stuck.

This is a very nice greenhouse! I absolutely love it. I put it up without even using the directions and this was the first time I have ever really put anything together! I have tons of plants and seedlings growing. I am thrilled with my first greenhouse!

I love this small greenhouse. This is the 3rd one I've used over the years and it serves my purpose. I raise tomato plants for us, my church family and I sell my extras to pay my cost of raising them. You can add a light to protect plants from an unexpected frost.

It's perfect for protecting tender plants as the temperature drops and for starting seedlings for your vegetable garden in early spring. We placed it up against the house on patio for extra warmth.

The metal frame was sturdy enough. The metal shelves were slightly warped. I used zip ties to attach them securely to the frame. The plastic shelf supports were appropriate. All pieces went together with no issues. The plastic cover was a bit thinner than greenhouse covers I've had in the past. I will be careful not to snag the cover on anything sharp. The fabric ties are handy. I need to move it from window to outdoors so I put wheels on it so it rolls nicely. All in all it suits my purpose, was easy to put together, does what it's intended to do and is just the right size for my needs.

This shelf was packaged with missing pieces but my husband went out and purchased items at Lowes to finish it because critters were eating my veggies and plants and I needed it right then. The shelves are very lightweight and did not hold the amount of pots I needed on each shelf because they are not metal. This was has no locking shelf clips or wheels so if you need to move it then you have to scoot it slowly or the shelves come apart and you will have a mess to put back together too.
