4 Tier Mini Greenhouse - Portable Greenhouse with Locking Wheels and PVC Cover for Indoor or Outdoor -

But you can't get cheap pieces of boxed home and garden goods even at Aldi's for this price. I only needed it to stand up straight but exceeded my expectations. It's machine made so I think it would be rare to have pieces of hardware at different lengths or diameters. At most, I expected to do some shaving to the plastic parts- maybe boring out holes. Not needed in my case either. I put it together upside down so I could carefully push the poles all the way in. THIS MATTERS because if you don't, then it will be uneven, flimsy, and feel like money wasted. Too much force and the poles could bend. So if it doesn't work the first time, try switching around to another hole or another pole. It rolls, stands straight, and zips/unzips. Yes, the metal poles, plastic, and wire shelves are light duty but my intentions are using this for getting a head start with seeds. Small pots in surplus. I can tell you that if you put a house plant in a terra cotta pot (if it will even fit) on the top shelf, it will be top heavy with a good chance of falling over. The wire shelves are thinner than a livestock fence and not made to hold weight. Again, I'm thinking seedling trays, pots, and cups even. I currently keep it inside before moving it to the back porch come early spring. I can't wait to get this ugly thing out of the house. If placed in an area unprotected from wind, bet your 25 dollars that this will blow over. During a wind storm, find this possibly even in your neighbors yard. For 25 bucks, I even get brakes on two of the plastic wheels!! Read more

I did not expect this item to be made very well due to the price. I just needed something to cover my seedlings from the elements. I was quite surprised, as was my husband, when it arrived. It is actually really nice for the money paid. It is not heavy duty nor commercial grade, but great for home use. I read some reviews about the quality being very flimsy and I do not find that at all. The rolling casters have locks on the front wheels and I expected them to be cheap also. They have been working well and not cheap at all. In addition, I read that the zipper was super cheap and broke shortly after setup. I expected that but find that the zipper is heavier than I expected. So long as you are not yanking or jerking on it, I see no reason why it should not hold up for a long while. I like it so well, that I ordered the seedling heat mats and grow lights to use. I would recommend to anyone as I would have expected to pay more for the quality. Read more

I read the reviews before buying, so I was prepared for it to be somewhat cheaply built, but since I am using it inside to keep pottery pieces from drying too quickly, I wasn't concerned. It went together very easily- no tools required other than scissors to cut the zip ties. I did not use the zip ties that came with it- they were super skinny and wouldn't last. I used thicker/stronger zip ties with nine on each shelf. The shelves are the main reason I give it a 4 star- the wire they used is super flimsy and would not hold up to much weight at all, so I personally would not use it for plants. I plan on putting thin wood shelves in it for my use because I do not need it to be able to drip water through or circulate air. I would expect that these shelves would not hold up long with the weight of plants and outside exposure. Read more

Was not satisfying it went down even before setup was completed the framework was just not sturdy enough Read more

This little greenhouse has an attractive price but it definitely has some limitations. If you are like me and you just want to make it work and not spend any more money...read on. (Be sure to look at my pictures. They will help give you ideas on how to make this work for you) 1) Don't bother with the wheels. They only work when the unit has no weight on it and is on a really smooth surface. Otherwise they fall out an can handle no resistance at all. I've just gotten good at sliding it. I am going to order 2 $8:00 wooden plant caddy sets of wheels, zip tie them to the bottom of this unit to make it mobile again. 2) . A main complaint is that the shelving frame comes apart easily when you are moving the unit. And it does. UNLESS you use the included zip ties to tightly connect the shelves to the frame on each side of the unit. This took care of the problem for me and keeps the frame together. You'll also need to keep this in a protected area out of the wind. 3) It will get very hot, very quickly when the cover is on and you have direct sun. Be sure to monitor your temperature. You'll quickly kill things if you don't. The cover is really easy to put on and take off and it fits the shelves perfectly. 4) If your need a heat boost because of extra low temperatures I found that a seedling heat mat placed on the bottom shelf (or you could even put it under the unit) gives at least a 10 degree boost at the top shelf. If you need even more heat throw a blanket over the whole thing. That gave me a 20 degree boost. 5) Want to put full sun plants and shade plants in the same greenhouse when there is direct sun? Just put your shade plants together on a lower shelf and drape shade cloth over the shelf above it. I'm disappointed that I will have to rig up a different wheel system but I am loving the ability free up my indoor grow light space and get these plants outside in a protected environment. If I'm careful with it, I think I can get quite a few years of use out of it. Read more
