I got exactly the same model, but I built 2x12 lumber garden boxes. 4’ wide running full length on both sides with a 2’ walkway down the center. Only need to install the doors and the plastic cover, but got hit by a so far 2 day rain storm…sucks ! 😂
Quiescent lied about it being 20' x10' x 6.6" these succeeded by building the bottom frame first and then trenching. I built 20x10 with 4x4" with 2' rebar drilled and hammered into ground, stacked for foundation to prevent flyaway. But the actual length and width is several inches short in both directions, and it slightly wider in the middle. Go to specifications: Size (WxLxH) 19.7x9.8x6.6FT (copy pasted here for you). So now I likely will buy more treated lumber to make up the difference. They have two kinds one flaps down, and the other door cover slides over work it back and forth with curve at top. I wanted more height so I wouldn't need to stoop down going in and out. Caveat, the video shows placement in an open field which gives more access to winds. Plan your build for the southern exposure. I use similar covers for raised beds that zip and tie down on similar small frame. The covers deteriorate the green ones anyway in a year and a half of year-round exposure, the plastic seems to melt and flake away while the reinforcing threads hold up. Covers are replaceable. I bought heavy 6 mil clear plastic; I will try to drape over the reinforced cover if it deteriorates.
I would never trust those straight stakes with the thin string to hold the greenhouse down in storms. I am almost ready to throw the cover over, after I get more lumber. I may post same but not sure about a video, maybe photos as I progressed. I will see what my wife thinks. Going to do exact measurements before buying lumber. I am thinking of bolting six 2x6x10's atop my four by fours to make up for the too small frame. Then use 1" conduit steel clamps to secure the frame to the foundation.
I just bought the 25ft version of this! Keep us up to date on how it holds up!
After almost a year, several storms, and lots of high winds, it is no longer standing. We actually took apart what was left of it last week.
ok I have a question. We bought the 28x10x7.5 ft. we are having trouble with door. Did you cut the plastic to put the handles on? Or did you just screw through the plastic? And did your manual say anything about an H accessory? Ours did but did not tell us or show us what it was.
The instructions were lacking in several areas! We put the screws through the plastic.
How has this held up over time?

what connects the door to the frame?
A pin works as a hinge for the door to open and close
