My Aunt has a similar green house from Harbor Freight. After 2 seasons something (?) happened to it and Harbor Freight stood by it and gave her a new one. Hey Hey for the sun🌞
I too have a palram snap and grow 8x8 I built 1 yr ago. I am 69 and built 95% of it alone. It was hairy to do that but I made it. I love it. Mine leaks because the ground has settled but it is not bad. I just stick a bucket under the leak. I’d buy another one in a minute if I needed to. Great video.
What I did was i hung the metal hanging baskets with weight in them and hung them up to keep greenhouse in place until I decide where I want it. Works great!!! I put heavy empty pots for now, just got mine month ago
Thank you for the comprehensive review. We are going to get a greenhouse with polycarbonate and understand the panel issues. Could you explain what HVAC tape is (is it the foil tape?) and how the installation is done. It seems to have worked well for you. Thanks (MG from PA)
I had the same greenhouse. Unfortunately it did not even last one full year. I purchased all the extra tie downs and auto openers. It is not suited for much wind. 20 mile per hour winds literally blew it away. Not only did most of the panels blow out, some even tore. However the thin aluminum twisted and a couple of the super thin inside braces tore. I was left with a pile of junk. The aluminum went to recycling and I had to dispose of the plastic. It was an unfortunate and expensive lesson. I think those greenhouses may be better suited for the small suburban garden where there are a lot of houses, buildings and fences, providing a lot of protection from wind. Though we followed all instructions and recommendations even purchasing the extra suggested method of securing this greenhouse we only got almost 7 months out of it.
My husband surprised me with a Palram Greenhouse for Christmas! Looking forward to warmer weather here in Georgia so we can start our new spring garden plants! Yea!
We have something similar, my solution to the hot summers and only using it as a storage shed is to build a simple pergola over top with grape vines (summer shade and fruit & winter sun)
I notice that you have lights in there, Im sure when they are on they radiate alot of heat unless they are LED, it might be all the heat you need. Nice greenhouse. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just purchased a prefab greenhouse 6' x 8', that looks similar to your Palram Hybrid, [different name brand]. I have been waiting to get several items together and the rain to stop so that I can build it up. But I want to especially thank you for that suggestion of using HVac water proofing tape around the panels to prevent water from getting in and to prevent mold and mildew. Do you recall how many rolls you used? Just a question so that I have some idea of how many to purchase while at Lowes or The Home Depot. Thanks again for the great video.
Hello, thank you so much for this video its so helpful. Im definitely making the tables and wanted to know the link for thise metal plant hangers. I only found the plastic types. Thanks
The earrings are so pretty. I have a green house and live in a hot area as well. I don’t use mine after about early May. It is under deciduous tree and still gets to hot. I think your greenhouse is lovely. I would suggest that you run a fan in it it helps so much with reducing humidity diseases and pests. It was a game changer for me when I got mine I hope you have a great day.
Hi. I am looking into this model of greenhouse for my mother, the HVAC tape tip is gold! In regards to hot weather - where do you live? We are planning to set one up in Scandinavia, so it only gets hot occasionally. Not sure if I need to get a greenhouse with some form of insulation as we do have a lot of cool and even cold summers. Thanks for the video!
Please show us what your parents come up with! I’m also in Redding, and have always wanted a greenhouse, but have avoided it because of our extremely hot weather.
I have a greenhouse similar to yours. I found the tape but I see no video of him on how he did it. Did you happen to record a video of you guys doing it? I put tape around my panels as well but water is still getting in and I live in the south. I gotta fix this before the heat comes!
The zones really don't seem to line up with real world over here in our region in NZ. We never get hot, lots of wind and rain on the coast its just the wind chill that seems to get it much lower than -3°c. Most days are overcast with cloud
Hi Janey, Thank you for sharing. Will your foxglove bloom this spring if they are that size or will it be next spring? Additionally, I would like to purchase the tray you have for soil/potting. Where is it from?
The sun goes further south in the cold months and closer to direct overhead in the summer. The greenhouse should be on the south side but covered so that the direct overhead light in the summer doesn’t directly shine on the glass
so is there a specific "name" for a half potting shed half greenhouse structure? would love to see what that would look like, not sure my google search is coming up with the right idea. how exciting for your mom, and I think your space is lovely.
Nice update and nice earrings! My avocado tree in my greenhouse just dropped it's leaves.. Trying to figure out why? I'm in SF Bay Area, so not like it got a hard frost, especially in the green house where temp dosnt drop below 60 degrees with heater.. Any thoughts on avocado trees and loss of leaves? PS Go Niners!!! ; ) Thank you!!!! I love your Set Up there!!! : ) Happy New Year 2023!!!!
So, the sun does exist. Nice greenhouse, when I move I hope to get a nicer one, I'll look into this brand. I'm not crazy about mine, crap zipper doors, the velour that holds them up deteriorated, not fun.

Janie … get an automatic opener! They are not expensive on Amazon and they are LIFE CHANGING! Just get one … seriously.
Good morning Janey. Happy sunshine! Love the benches too ♥️
I love your ‘bespoke’ earrings! They’re beautiful. Well done to your neighbor. Super duper cute.
Haha aren’t they so sweet?? 💗

Hey...you have sunshine!!!!! SO GOOD!
I’ve had the exact same one the last 8yrs, it’s a great little greenhouse.
Love those benches you made. I'll have to go watch that video for sure.

Might be good to build a platform for your greenhouse then you can level and bolt to that. It would also give you extra height to drain water.

Janey! Is that sunshine I see?? I love your greenhouse.

Overall I really like it. The benches inside are very functional. I enjoyed what worked and what could be improved. Definitely a keeper.
Good timing! I'm shopping for a greenhouse. I believe also you get what you pay for. The info was very helpful! Thank you.
Beautiful 🌿
Cute greenhouse. Yes, it will look nice leveled! 🏠M
Oh, also, you could bolt it to the cinderblocks.
Hello, thank you so much for this video its so helpful. Im definitely making the tables and wanted to know the link for thise metal plant hangers. I only found the plastic types. Thanks
Oh I was so happy for you when I saw you had some sunshine instead of rain! Love your greenhouse!
Oh thank you my friend!! ☀️

Excellent earing
Great review of green house 🏡

I’m waiting on the green house to be delivered. I hope it as nice as yours. Mine will be the green one
Yay Todd! I’m sure you will love it.

A cinder block wall would elevate it a little and give you a bit more head room. Consider two cinder blocks high.
ooh I like that idea!

Hello did you find the link to the bolts that you used for hanging stuff from the roof?
so is there a specific "name" for a half potting shed half greenhouse structure? would love to see what that would look like, not sure my google search is coming up with the right idea. how exciting for your mom, and I think your space is lovely.
Honestly I’m not sure! I’ve only ever seen it called “greenhouse/shed”
Nice update and nice earrings! My avocado tree in my greenhouse just dropped it's leaves.. Trying to figure out why? I'm in SF Bay Area, so not like it got a hard frost, especially in the green house where temp dosnt drop below 60 degrees with heater.. Any thoughts on avocado trees and loss of leaves?

: ) Happy New Year 2023!!!!
Why not “ shim” the lower level of greenhouse up instead of bolting at level if patio? You need drainage for greenhouse floor!
Could you not grow melons in summer in there?
where you have to look at with a greenhouse
How cold does it typically get for you all? Just curious
We have a handful of days that will get in the high 20's but winter is usually around the 30's and 40's F
The earing are cute. Maybe your neighbor girl could make a job out of it. Great sideline for someone.
So, the sun does exist. Nice greenhouse, when I move I hope to get a nicer one, I'll look into this brand. I'm not crazy about mine, crap zipper doors, the velour that holds them up deteriorated, not fun.
Lol yes!! ☀️ hopefully you find a good one Wende! 💗💗💗
