This is untrue. Temu sells some of the same greenhouses that Amazon and Walmart sell, just different names. I’ve bought 2 so far. My first was a 6×6, and it held up pretty well in Texas, though I did have to replace panels after a hail storm, but it lasted 5 years and I only replaced it because I wanted something bigger. I’ve got a 12×8 now that I’ve reinforced with some stained fence pickets and siding. Sure, I’ll probably have to replace the poly panels on occasion but for $389 it was a steal.

All standard are junk, but they are the same like amazon or other

Depends on what you want to use it for to some extent…….
Over winter delicate plants? Won’t hold any heat at all
Will probably cook plants in summer unless you add vents and more
I suppose the cheap temu ones are on par with cheap Amazon ones
Just think about you needs

I bought mine from Amazon. Its been up for over years, and survived windstorms. Theres definitely nicer ones out there, but I dont feel bad about my purchase

They look like junk.

I’d guess similar build quality to the Harbor Freight ones. Mine has been awesome for 4 years.

oh wow, ive never owned a product that showed up in one of these scammy type ads. But i have the larger version of the one on the top right. I think its branded differently though and i didnt get it from temu, i got from the american temu, amazon. As far as quality, its fine. Been through 2 winter storms and 50mph wind gusts so far. I was very anxious before the first storm but am alot more calm now after it has held up good. I probably would not buy another one though but not due to quality, it was just a huge pain in the ass to assemble by myself. I dont even want to say how long it took, but way way too damn long. Instructions were absolute crap.
It would be easier to actually build a wood frame solo and attach pc panels to that, than to assemble the aluminum frame of a large GH. But i am very happy with my purchase. 12 x 18 and its about to have its first season now.
It will absolutely need some extra support measures as these types of greenhouses dont really hold the panels as strong as you would like. Ive seen horror stories online and destroyed greenhouses, but i still decided to give it a shot. The slots for the panels arent that deep and the panels are flexible, so its easy for one to pop out with enough force. I taped the edges of mine down to the aluminum frame so there is resistance to popping out and works nicely without affecting appearance. Calk the seams. Other than that, i dont have any other complaints or issues. The one i have is probably on the edge of the maximum size these types should be and i probably could have done with a smaller one, but i want to have space for me also not just plants.
would i buy another one ? And should you buy this one ?
Depends if you are capable of building a wood frame yourself? If so i would go that route as its actually easier and structurally we know what wood do and it wont need reinforcements, you can sleep easy.
But if thats not your thing, these are fine and can be made to be more durable without breaking the bank. And from what i can tell, they all are made using the same exact materials and same designs with slight differences between them. Prob only 2-3 companies making all of them and rebranding.
Also, other types of greenhouses are also valid. I didnt like the way hoop houses look but im coming around and they seem easier to manage long term. Prob why they are popular.
Good luck in your search.

The 8ft x 6ft ones when delivered are actually 8” x 6”

I got one for $400 all in, I think it’s a 10×6
(shipping, tax, etc) same model as all of these. Building it was definitely rough, some holes had to redrill etc, one or two small replacement parts needed, but once it was done it’s actually great. Standing after two years and it does the job

They’re as “junk” as the identical ones you find on Amazon. The difference is that you’re paying more on Amazon for the same product.
The same third-party sellers that sell on Temu also sell on Amazon. Sometimes a product purchased on Temu will ship from an Amazon warehouse because the seller pays a single storage fee, so it’s easier to store everything in the same location and ship them out to different buyers on different online marketplaces.
So I don’t think they’re junk if you understand what you are paying for.

It’s from Temu. Of course it’s junk.
