Summary: Rion 6x8 Silver Greenhouse
Comment: The greenhouse is worth the money, but be mindful that you get what you pay for. What can one expect for $600?? The frame is very strong, and it's important to remember to leave the nuts/bolts loose during setup and to tighten them only when you're done. The panels proved to be the most difficult to put in place and we had to clip the corners in order for them to fit correctly. We found that a solar-powered fan (purchased on eBay for $30) and mounted into the top peak panel was needed to improve air flow and to exhaust the warm air. The panels seem very, very thin at first, but once installed we were amazed at how well they stood up to the weather. Also, you may want to consider spray-painting the frame with Rustoleum prior to installing the panels, otherwise the aluminum and steel parts are prone to oxidation. We like this greenhouse, and plan on buying a second one.

Summary: Good Product
Comment: Bought this greenhouse kit for the hubby who has the green-thumb. Received the kit in a timely manner but was taken back when it came in only 2 boxes and not very big ones. I had alot of hesitation but that was put to rest once we put it together and seen how sturdy it actually was.
Just like all other reviews of this item the instructions suck! If you are at all pretty handy though you can figure it out by the pictures. Well worth the money and already have seeds emerging just after 3 days.

Summary: Just hope the wind does not blow.
Comment: It is really not worth the amount of money it costs. A strong gust of wind will cause the panels to pop out. I hope it lasts throught the summer but we have some bets going!

Summary: Holy hell. Do not attempt assembly, period.
Comment: What a nice little greenhouse once you get it assembled.
I am HANDY - more than twenty years as a Carpenter and more than forty years around tools and a do-it-yourselfer Pro. But I did this project by myself. That is not recommended. While I have these tools that help like having a second pair of hands - they were not a second pair of hands.
The sales page said it could take two people 4-5 hours to assemble this greenhouse. It took me a solid 8 hours to do the project by myself.
First item of note, is the number of pieces that came in the boxes. There were a lot. and they each have a number on them, with either a sticker or stamped into the piece.
The biggest key is the bolts. They a aluminum!! And when the instructions say to be careful when tightening bolts they really mean it. They DO NOT give you nearly enough extras to replace the ones you break off. But first you have to assemble the entire project while you leave all of these bolts loose ("only 2-3 turns, do not tighten"). Only when you have the entire project done do you tighten the bolts. There are a lot of bolts to tighten.
The greenhouse has very little R-value but warms quickly on sunny days. The greenhouse also should be sold with a solar vent opener standard and a better roller system on the door.
BUT, what this whole package needs most of all is more simple directions and fewer pieces to assemble. And so since I will have to heat this greenhouse come winter and I have to buy a solar vent opener for the one vent I do in fact like this greenhouse and it makes a cozy little space for my work and my plants. Plus this winter it will afford me a chance to winter garden the veggies I would have otherwise bought.
