Hi, I am considering buying a greenhouse and came across this site. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this product? Price looks good, and the size is good. Almost seems too good to be true. Thanks!

Facebook marketplace for a used starter greenhouse to see if you even enjoy the benefits before dropping over 2k with shipping and time and tools for assembly
Don’t have this model, but have built 2 greenhouses, and I am about to build a third.
Size – kinda small at only 13 ft long, would recommend 16 or 20, you would be surprised by how much space plants take up, plus you need lots of aeration/ventilation to keep plants from overheating – 1 door and 2 windows is totally inadequate – your humidity is going to be uncontrollable without more vents and fans
Construction – even if you are experienced – 2 to 3 days to put together
Frame – because it has solid panels, you are going to need a base – simplest would be 4×6 pretreated lumber squared to dimensions (~$200 in materials for the 13ft); because lumber is sold in 2ft lengths, you would be better off getting the 20 ft model @ $2300.
Here’s an alternative if you are a first timer – requires no foundation, doors at each end, 12 windows, and you can peel the skin back at any time during the peak of summer. And it’s cheap ($190) and easy to put together (<<2 hours)
