I have have had this for a couple years now and I raised it up 12 inches. It feels like it’s 25% bigger now. I have posted a few other videos on how I upgraded it to something downright respectable. The cover is worth the purchase price and has held up well. I also added a roll up method for the windows. Made a better door latch. Added a misting system. Raised it a foot. Added a weed barrier floor. And I made vertical gardening barrels which hold the temperature above freezing down to 20 degrees F. Recently I’ve put power and water to the location as well. For what I have into it I got a lot of bang for my buck but I put some time into making it perform well above the original setup. Way better than the cattle panels and plastic ones that I see other people trying to squeeze out every cent. Glad you liked my video and let me know if you have any questions. I really appreciate your feedback and I really enjoy helping others solving problems.
Excellent! I bought the cheapest welder money could buy with almost no temp control and I have been out of practice for the last 30 years then started by welding on thin as heck cheap Chinese galvanized steel. At the end of the day I was just glad to get it to stick together and hold. I also found out I needed bifocals and can't see like I used to. Hopefully your welds are much, much better than mine but I still wanted to demonstrate that these flimsy metal frames could be modified to withstand 60 mph winds when it would not have stood a 20 mph wind out of the box. I used to use a Miller every day and they are a WAY better machine. Mine has too hot and too cold and not much in between. Also it would have helped if I had ground the zinc off first instead of burning it off with the weld.
Thanks. The biggest thing I would have done differently is to raise the sides up at least a foot. I am thinking about getting a few more for doing winter sowing in.
Solid modifications! Ours has done well so far. Theres a few more mods Id like to make to it for longevity but its held up through all these dang windstorms we've had so far. Thanks for sharing, with those welds that thing will be up a long time!
Good job on the greenhouse they are kinda cheap like ours the reinforcement is needed on these things. I think the welds are really gonna help for sure! Let us know how it holds up, our is still doing well with what we did today we have 30mph winds. Subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for giving such an honest review. I truly appreciate it sir.

Your welds make my welds look great. :)

We have had rain with 60 mph winds and it’s still in great shape. I had to make a quick latch for the doors though because they kept blowing open.
That thing looks useless without your modifications. I'm glad it worked out!
