The number of pieces were large but all present when ticked off list. I recommend separating the screws and labelling their type numbers. We needed two people and it took several hours to assemble and install. a) make sure you have enough vertical clearance to slide the side clear panels in - more than a normal room height, use the hall or outside b) the side panels go in best with the two black plastic side struts either not fitted or very loose c) we found the front uprights, which are joined, needed to be filed down at the side edge a touch as they hit the sloping side rails and we could not get at the nuts to tighten them. These joiners also need to be looss in order to fit the side panels. Then tighten up the black rails and joiners but not fully tight at that stage. d) in general leave ALL nuts very loose e) the roof squarish clear panels are not identical each way round, If difficult to slide in, rotate through 90 degrees. f) Loosely fit the door runners but only adjust once the greenhouse is bolted to the wall. Lay on a solid base or pavings laid level. 8 of the smaller square ones. g) the sliding props do not end up vertical when closed, need to pack out one or both screws with washers or a spacer of a few millimetres, and possibly replace screws with longer ones - they are 4mm metric to match the Nylock ones supplied. h) Once all up and finally in place set up the door runners for smooth running all the way along the travel, and finally tighten ALL bolts - some are hard to get to. You need a 10 mm OE spanner for the nuts, 11mm for the few places where the heads are not in runnels. One up, quite a good greenhouse but have yet to see how it stands up to a full gale. .Read full review

I'm good at putting my hand to anything but this definitely needs two to build at some stages where four hands are a must. The frame is solid when built and secured to the wall but plastic glass which is not see through let's it down. It also has one door so half of the front is not accessible which is a really big let down and honestly dont know why it was designed that way as two sliding doors would have took nothing to make this worth the money. It also has a lid which you have to secure each side by tightening butterfly nuts and again cut corners on price as a couple of hydraulic struts would have been better but all in all it's up and will serve its purpose for the kids.

Although instructions are well written, putting the grow house together is much more difficult. It is very unstable until you get the final pieces is place and the poly carbonate panels keep falling out until you can stabilise the whole thing. It took far longer than I had anticipated. To be fair the pieces are all numbered for easy identification, you just have to be sure you have them the right way up !!!!! I was also mislead by the photograph in the advert seeming to show shelving in the package. This is not the case, as stated in the full description, but you do need to make sure you read the full article.

Can't fault it for the money, after reading reviews was afraid it would be difficult to assemble, but it was reasonably easy, with a couple of awkward parts. Used my own tools that made it much easier. Took about 3 hours to construct, and I am happy with the final results!

The frame is fine and quite easy to assemble what let's it down is the plastic windows very thin no structure easy pops out with slight wind. Should say need the stronger polycarbonate or glass would give the greenhouse a stronger structure!!! I will now order thicker polycarbonate. But over all good price you get what you pay for.
